To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts : The directors of the Barre and Worcester Railroad Company can report but little action under the act of incorporation of that company. Those to whom the charter was particularly granted, took early measures to have books opened, and subscriptions obtained for the stock in said company. It was found that many of the warmest friends of that project, in the town of Worcester, and some other towns in that vicinity, were subscribers for stock in the Providence and Worcester, and Worcester and Nashua Railroads; and it was deemed expedient to suspend the ob- taining subscribers until the opening of the first-mentioned road, and the payment of the assessments to the stock in the last. Soon after the open- ing of the Providence and Worcester Railroad for use, the books were reopened and subscriptions obtained, and the company has been organ- ized by a choice of officers. The recent and present great depression in the monetary concerns of the country, has prevented so large a subscrip- tion as was expected, but have promises of a liberal increase. During the past season, surveys and examinations have been made for the pur- pose of testing the correctness of former surveys, and to place the com- pany in a condition to commence work on the road early in the next season, should the pecuniary concerns of the country be in a more favor- able condition. No assessments have been made, and of consequence no receipts can be reported ; and the expenditures have been paid by individuals whose accounts have not been rendered. All of which is respectfully submitted : JOHN W. LINCOLN, GINERY TWICHELL, JOHN BROOKS, CHAS. L. KNOWLTON, SETH CALDWELL, SAMUEL S. HOWE, ETHAN A. GREENWOOD, Worcester, January 22, 1848. 1 2 BARRE AND WORCESTER RAILROAD. Worcester, ss. January 22, 1848. Personally appeared the above- named John W. Lincoln, John Brooks, Seth Caldwell, Ethan A. Green- wood, Ginery Twichell, Charles L. Knowlton, and Samuel S. Howe, directors of the Barre and Worcester Railroad Company, and severally made oath that the foregoing report, by them subscribed, is true. Before me, CALEB DANA, Justice of the Peace.

By letter dated June 5, 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") notified the MBTA of its potential liability regarding the Old Colony Railroad Site in East Bridgewater, MA ("Site") pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. § 9607(a). The letter also informed the MBTA that EPA plans to conduct immediate removal activities involving installation of a perimeter fence, elimination of direct contact with contaminated soils and prevention of off-site migration via soil transport. EPA is asking the MBTA to perform or to finance these activities. Pursuant to conversations with Marcia Lamel, Senior Enforcement Counsel, EPA, the MBTA was given until today to respond to EPA's letter. As discussed below, even though the MBTA does not believe that it is a responsible party at this Site, it is willing to participate in fencing the perimeter of the Site and posting signage. The MBTA is also willing to discuss with EPA covering "hot spots" of contaminated soil on the Site with some sort of synthetic cover.

JUSTICE WILLIAM CUSHING AND THE TREATY-MAKING POWER F. WILLIAM O'BRIEN, S.J.* Washington's First Appointees Although the work of the Supreme Court during the first few years was not great if measured in the number of cases handled, it would be a mistake to conclude that the six men who sat on the Bench during this formative period made no significant contribution to the develop- ment of American constitutional law. The Justices had few if any precedents to use as guides, and therefore their judicial work, limited though it was in volume, must be considered as stamped with the significance which attaches to all pioneer activity. Moreover, most of this work was done while on circuit duty in the different districts, and therefore from Vermont to Georgia the Supreme Court Justices were emissaries of good will for the new Constitution and the recently established general government.

    Exeter Road Bridge (NHDOT Bridge 162/142) New Hampshire Historic Property Documentation An historical study of the railroad overpass on Exeter Road near the center of Hampton. Preservation Company 5 Hobbs Road Kensington, N.H. 2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORIC PROPERTY DOCUMENTATION EXETER ROAD BRIDGE (NHDOT Bridge 162/142) NH STATE NO. 608 Location: Eastern Railroad/Boston and Maine Eastern Division at Exeter Road in Hampton, New Hampshire (Milepost 46.59), Rockingham County Date of Construction: Abutments 1900; bridge reconstructed ca. 1926 Engineer: Boston & Maine Engineering Department Present Owner: State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation John Morton Building, 1 Hazen Drive Concord, New Hampshire 03301 Present Use: Vehicular Overpass over Railroad Tracks Significance: This single-span wood stringer bridge with stone abutments is typical of early twentieth century railroad bridge construction in New Hampshire and was a common form used throughout the state. The crossing has been at the same site since the railroad first came through the area in 1840 and was the site of dense commercial development. The overpass and stone abutments date to 1900 when the previous at-grade crossing was eliminated. The construction of the bridge required the wholesale shifting of Hampton Village's commercial center to its current location along Route 1/Lafayette Road. Project Information: This narrative was prepared beginning in 2004, to accompany a series of black-and-white photographs taken by Charley Freiberg in August 2004 to record the Exeter Road Bridge. The bridge is located on, and a contributing element to, the Eastern Railroad Historic District, which was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, and C as a linear transportation district on May 3, 2002.

Originally the boundary between Amesbury and Salisbury was the Powwow River. • Beginning as a modest family community, it developed an aggressive maritime and industrial economy. The Powwow River provided water power for sawmills and gristmills. shipbuildings, shipping and fishing. • In the 19th century, textile mills were built at the falls, as was a mechanized nail- making factory. The Merrimac Hat Company produced more hats than any of its competitors. Beginning in 1853, Amesbury became famous for building carriages, axles, springs, lamps, leather, a trade which evolved into the manufacture of automobile bodies. Amesbury also produced Hoyt’s Buffalo Brand Peanut Butter Kisses. • In 1846 the Eastern Railroad Surveyed the building of the Salisbury Branch, 3.85 miles from the East Salisbury main line. • The Salisbury Branch was completed at a cost of $70,000.00 and the line was put into service on January 1, 1848. Newburyport Salisbury Railroad Bridge In March 1840, the Eastern Railroad erected a new passage with two road beds, one above the other to accommodate both the railroad on the upper road and carriages and foot passengers on the lower road. Due to the strain of the frequent passenger and freight trains, a new railroad bed just upriver of the bridge was completed in 1866. 1872 Map Newburyport Railroad Draw Bridge Year 1840 The Eastern Railroad built a Covered Bridge across the Merrimac River, the bridge with the rail bed on top.

Historical Association Historical Context: “The trucking industry in the United States has affected the political and economic history of the United States in the 20th century. Before the invention of automobiles, most freight was moved by train or horse-drawn vehicle. “During World War I, the military was the first to use trucks extensively. With the increased construction of paved roads, trucking began to achieve significant foothold in the 1930s, and soon became subject to various government regulations (such as the hours of service). During the late 1950s and 1960s, trucking was accelerated by the construction of the Interstate Highway System, an extensive network of freeways linking major cities across the continent.”1 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_trucking_industry_in_the_United_States accessed 10/5/2018 CITY HALL ● 93 HIGHLAND AVENUE ● SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS 02143 (617) 625-6600 EXT. 2500 ● TTY: (617) 666-0001 ● FAX: (617) 625-0722 www.somervillema.gov Page 2 of 15 Date: October 16, 2018 Case: HPC 2018.100 Site: 151 Linwood Street Evolution of Site: taken from the NR Nomination Form for 1 Fitchburg Street Development of the Brick Bottom Neighborhood “(T)he streets of the adjacent Brick Bottom neighborhood were determined at a much earlier date.

  • Report of the Librarian. 217
    1.896.] Report of the Librarian. 217 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. ON July 28, 1896, the remainder of our collection of minerals was delivered to Dr. Leonard P. Kinnicutt for the use of tho Worcester Polytechnic Institute, with the under- standino- that what the Institute does not retain will be sent to the Worcester Natural History Society. This is the final act in the distribution authorized by the Council September 24, 1892, which is explained in the librarian's report of April 24, 1895. And here I note the earlier action of the Council regarding the cabinet. On December 31, 1834, it was " voted that a Committee be chosen to report what disposition shall be made of the Printing Press presented by Mr. Thomas"; September 5, 1853, " voted to choose a Committee to consider the best mode of disposing of the Curiosities and Cabinet articles belonging to the Society. Chose Hon. Stephen Salisbury and Hon. Isaac Davis" ; and March 23, 1884, "voted that the Library Committee be authorized to make exchanges of perishable articles, in their discretion, as most for the interest Of the Society." The present revival of interest in Ex Libris matters may serve a good as well as a doubtful purpose. It has led to the securing of Thomas, Haven and Dewey plates for use in the books received from them or bought with their funds. I recommend the addition of a George E. Ellis book-plate, to complete our collection, and that the design be that adopted for those above named. Our founder's library— the basis of our great collection—has added value in the fact that his plate appears in so many of its books.
