Some Of the youngsters from the
North End have instituted a new
piece of deviltry and have chosen
for their field the overhead railroad
bridge over the Rines hill cut, where
by crawling in under the bridge, us
ing the abutments for the purpose,
they are able at the risk Of a 30
foot fall. to work their way along
the narrow stonework and thus get
the young pigeons and also the eggs
that are found in some Of the nests.
Crawling about IN that way under
the bridge is dangerous in itself, not
to mention the danger that would
ccr,e to the boys from the gases and
smoke that are crowded up under
the fiacr Of the bridge when a train
is working up or down the line. Com
plants have been received at the
freight Office relative to what. the
boys are doing. and at the request
yesterday of Agent Fuller, the police
took hand and Officer Bolduc round
ed uL q bunch of youngsters whom
he caught in the act. The boys were
warned to stop the practice and told
that the next time any of them were
caught they would be locked up a,
the police station.

denying the application Of the Port

increase its minimum charge from

"Our thought and conviction is
that raising the minimum and af-
fecting, as it does, only about 16 per
cent Of the total number OF custom
ers, would not only not be good
business for the company but would
create an undue hardship upon these
small customers" says the commits
