Pan-Electric investigation move turns on telegraph monopoly
In a Feb 27 report from the Rules Committee a substitute resolution directs a nine-member select committee to probe government rights over Pan-Electric and related companies, stock issuance, influencing officials and the press. The panel may subpoena, oath administer, employ a stenographer, and spend up to 1.0. The measure, debated briefly, was adopted. The Post-roads panel then asked if further law is needed to curb tele facility monopolies in the South and Pacific states.

The Toboggan A Humorous Canadian Sport
The piece humorously describes the toboggan as a single runner sled with a top as thick as a sheet of writing. It recounts a club ride with a jaunty conductor steering by a leg, the thrill and mishaps of sliding, and a narrator’s breathless observations. The comparison to flying and angels on slide evokes a comic travelogue tone. Burnette notes in Brooklyn Eagle addenda about Toronto angels and wings.
