Nahant Trolley War Becomes Bitter Over Electric Road
Nahant confronts a clash between East Point summer residents and Nahant townspeople over building a three mile electric car line to Lynn. Southwick leads the Nahant & Lynn Street Railway with $12,500 capital, opposing Allerton James who fronts a $30,000 summer-people backed plan. The hearing exposes rival claims and local anger at governance, with politics tied to former government seizures of cottages near Bailey's Hill and Navy fortifications.
