Some Radicalism Needed In Quincy Says S S Hyatt

A long defense of progressive change in Quincy advocates radicalism to rebuild the city. The piece argues conservatives blocked progress, details plans for a new bandstand and resthouse near Maine Street, emphasizes cost, acoustics, amenities, and smart design, and envisions a staffed, well maintained public space with paid restrooms and services.

Fountain plans spark bid for electric upgrading

Samuel S. Hyatt, chairman of the Aldermanic Building Committee, proposes raising about 1000 to fix and enhance the fountain with a rail, fish, and multicolored lights for night and day use. Blueprints are at the city clerk’s office. Charles A. Kelso, a Raspeburg, Md., blacksmith and lawyer, 44, graduated from the University of Maryland in 1915 and practices law alongside smithing.

Drive to Toledo Made Without Mishap

George H. Hartung and B. H. Schallenberg of Irwin-Overland Co. traveled over 500 miles to Toledo in a Model 85 Overland without delay. The trip averaged 17 mpg with no hill shifts, mileage ranging from 15.6 to 18 mpg. Mrs. Hartung and Mrs. Schallenberg accompanied them. Faith is something that enables a man to close his eyes to his own faults and imagine his neighbors can't see them. It takes a lot of courage to enable a woman to admit that she is homely.
