Boston Kids Rally Help Buy Baby Hippo for Franklin Park
Local efforts in Greater Boston race to raise funds for Baby Hippo, with children and families contributing small amounts, letters from supporters, and donations from the Boston Post to reach a goal of five thousand dollars for the hippo’s transfer to Franklin Park. The campaign features hippo fund parties, child editors, and appeals to readers to donate.

He contends the alleged offense did not occur within three years before the indictment, noting construction was finished in 1918 and the indictment was filed last month.
