Arthur A Harmon has returned home after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania veterinary department last week. A revival in the dog license business is urged, with the constable expected to push it. A Stearns’s grave service drew 135 attendees, with Rev. Ernest C. Bartlett and Rev. Robert F. Trucco Lowell speaking. G Thomas Parkhurst and Arthur Adams provided cornet music with a chorus. An electric road rule forces conductors to keep the outer bar down between the village and Stevens street due to rails near poles, risking pole contact if passengers stand on running boards. Poles should be moved back two feet. until then the bar-down rule is prudent, even if riders must alight mid-street.
