History of Church Harvard Street Unitarian Church ia one of the historic religious centers of Cambridge, dating back to the days the Cambridgeport section irt Which it is located, is said to' have consisted mostly of huckleberry It is now the most densely populated part of the city, but up to 1793 a large part of It was covered by a salt marsh inaccessible except by boats. Traveler then went from Bos ton to Cambridge by boat, by the Charlestown ferry, or by a long roundabout land route. In 1793, the West Boston bridge was opened to travel and things began to change rapidly. In 1805, Congress made Cambridgeport an official port of entry, and in 1807 the first meeting house was built, of which the present Harvard Street Unitarian Church is the successor. Under the first Rev Thomas Brattle Gannett, th church later joined the liberal religion movement and became Unitarian, ana second building was constructed In 1883.

Various ministers haye served the church, some of whom. Rev Augustus P. Reccord, Rev Lyman V. Rutledge, Rev Henry Hallam Saunderson, and others, have become leaders' in the Unitarian denomination. The present minister, Mr Nicholson, came to the church In 1927.

The third building, the present one, was erected in April, 1911, and turned over to the parish, free from all indebtedness the following October. VOTER PRESENTED SHIPS BELL CLOCK E. G.

Flags bn the towboat companys Increase of 51 Percent Commercial productifin increased 51 percent over 1928, 1815 more airplane's being manufactured during 1929 than during the previous year. While the percentage of increase in units produced was hgh, the sharp rise in valuation was even higher. The valuation without motors for all commercial planes increased 96 percent over 1928, aircraft manufactured in 1929 showing an Increase valuation of $16,430,458.60 oyer 1928. Military production during 1929 experienced a decided slump, falling 44 percent under the 1928 figures. Since no valuation was placed, upon military production in 1928, it was impossible to compare figures on valuation for the two years.

Total production, despite the military slump, increased 27 percent over 1928. Analyzing the production reports of the 96 major aircraft manufacturers, the report says that open cockpit biplanes led all others in the number produced as to type, with closed cockpit monoplanes second. However, Of all types produced during. 1929, amphibians showed the greatest Increase over 1928. The closed cockpit biplane was the only type to show a decrease in the number produced when compared with 1928 figures.

Monoplanes Are Gaining i Amphibians increased 363 percent, showing marked interest in this versatile type. Multi-motored monoplanes increased 207 percent over 1928; flying boats and seaplanes, 190 percent. Open cockpit monoplanes increased 81 percent; closed cockpit monoplanes, 80 percent; multl-motored biplanes, 60 percent; and open cockpit biplanes, 30 percent. The closed cockpit biplane decreased 32 percent below the 1928 totals. In 1928 there.

were more than .124 percent more than 'monoplanes of -all types, while, in 1929 only 51 percent more biplanes were manufactured. The ratio between biplanes and monoplanes was rapidly shifting in favor of the monoplane. The average unit value, without motors, of airplanes produced during 1929 was $6276.75, an increase of $1422.25 over 1928, when the average unit, value was $4854.50. The marked Increase in aircraft unit values can be attributed to the larger number of multi-engined transports, amphibians and flying boats, with value! ranging from $50,000 to $150,000, manufactured during 1929.

Youngman stated that he was ready to take any action necessary to serve notice on the people at Washington that the Government of 'Massachusetts is against the present discrimination against the Navy Yard and its employes and that it must be stopped. Mr Youngman said that he was taking the opportunity in his speech to notify the administration at Washington that all is not easy in Massachusetts and in order to make peace, changes in attitude must be made and made very soon. Mr Davis said: We must face squarely the question of international policy now under discussion abroad, which the citizens of the United states cannot protest against as it may result In the limitation of armament, but this discussion does not warrant the present discrimination against Boston. have noticed at Washington during the past few years the disposition on the part of people from sections other than New England to believe that New England la exceptionally well off, and it seems our representatives in Congress. are helping this belief to develop by their timidity and reluctance stand up and fight against the tendency of these others to grab what rightfully belongs here.

Stokes Of the Cambridge police, who was visiting Mr Shields, telephoned to the Cambridge Fire Headquarters. When the first apparatus arrived an alarm was sounded from box 72 and Deputy Chief Cutler L. Vose ordered a second alarm from box 721.

No one thought to notify the Somerville Fire Department, but the Cambridge department quickly had the fire under control, although it had spread rapidly through the entire house. The fire started in the kitchen and through the second floor and attic floor. Damage was estimated at about $15,000. There was no one at home at the time of the fire.

Francis X. Cotter, adjutant of the Massachusetts Department, Veterans of Foreign Wars, said that the first move to be made is to go to the original Hoover man of Massachusetts, Alvan T. Fuller, find out when he has an open date, then learn from Gov Frank Allen his open date, try and get them together on the platform of Faneull Hall and tell the people what they Intend to do. The conditions today at the Navy Yard, said Mr Cotter, make it all right for you to offer a swap of one perfectly good; partially used Secretary of Navy for ths 1500 Jobs that have been taken dway.

Theodors A. Glynn, ex-fire commissioner, as the representative of Mayor Curley, offered all assistance needed to place the Charlestown Navy Yard back in the position it rightfully belongs. Resolution Adopted The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, Metropolitan Boston, one of the United States' largest and most Influential sections and largest industrial areas has definitely subscribed to the national attempt to revive' and maintain our national prosperity, the Metal Trades Council of ths Charlestown Navy Yard brings to ths attention of the citizenship of this community the problem of hundreds of bona fide skilled and fairly paid mechanics who have been relieved of their employment at the Charlestown Navy Yard. Without questioning the advisability of reducing armament and in turn not asking for more naval equipment. Metropolitan Boston has a right to review the equal allotment of any and all construction and maintenance.

Facts are at our disposal indicating that Boston is not receiving ths amount proportionate to our ability in terms of plant equipment, location and mechanical forces. Ths port of Boston Is not being recognized. as ths Important, -economic, efficient and accessible port of entry that it is. The distribution of wages, purchasing of supplies nd many othsr factors that go to make up ths usefulness of sveh an enterprise are being neglected and denied. "The Metal Trades Council is but one factor in this whole problem.

They now suggest that each group representing the diverse Interests of Metropolitan Boston Join with them in further discussion of this problem within the very near future. Ths object of this proposed conference is: To secure a thorough and adequate knowledge as to the allotment of work and moneys to be spent by the Naval Department; To ascertain what proportion could be reasonably expected, for the Charlestown Navy Yard In Boston; That- this Information be made known to various civic, social and Governmental agencies of this community, v. at a subsequent meeting ways and means be devised for a permanent cooperative understanding within this group to foster maintain the Charlestown Navy Yard in its proper and fitting place In the Navy Yards of our Nation. That this committee be further instructed to ascertain the money losses accrued to this community by Intermittent ard uncertain assignment to this Navy Yard. The Metal Trades Council of Charlestown offer! its good services in the assembling of a further meeting requesting, the Governor of Massachusetts, the Senators in the House of Congress, Congressmen of Metropolitan Boston, the Mayor of Boston, with other Mayors of suburban Boston, ths Chamber of Commerce, the New England Council and such other 'civic bodies as may be interested to join with them and the labor movement in th carrying out of such.
