Beaches and Boats Draw Huge Crowds on Summer Holiday
On the first summer Sunday of 1911 Greater Boston sweltered as city thermometers hit 75 at the post office and rose 10 to 12 degrees higher streetside. Revere Beach drew about 80,000 visitors while canoeists paddled the Charles and crowds filled Dorchester Bay. Yachts crowded Boston Harbor from Mystic to Broad Sound as Nantasket and other resorts opened for the season amid heavy auto traffic and park crowds. By 6 pm the official 75 fell to 60 as cooling breezes failed to ease the heat.

Tax Evasion Faulted as Cause for Class Tensions
Governor Ross told the Post that rich tax dodgers bearing a heavier burden fuel dangerous class feeling. He blamed the law itself for evasion opportunities and noted possible collusion with assessors, while Boston awaits data from the Finance Commission. Massachusetts law allows declaration of holdings or leaving it to the assessor. Local tax rates and residency mobility complicate enforcement.
