Electric Street Lighting in Salem Aims to Save Taxpayers

Salem Gazette notes the electric street lighting system in use since September, with over six miles lit by a single operator. Underground insulated wire protects lines from storms and fires, reducing overhead hazards and maintenance costs. The plan, supported by city officials, began in Ward Two and expanded from twelve to eighty-seven lamps amid trials.

The Books of the Ladies Deposits in Insolvency Court

In the Insolvency Court Judge McKim heard Augustus Russ, assignee of the Ladies Deposits, present an order signed by Mrs Howe to transfer deposit books from former attorney Towne to the assignee. Mrs Howe’s counsel Brewster objected, citing her alleged lack of will and responsibility. The court adjourned with the creditors’ meeting set for June 10.
