Shark-hunters have no luck with guns or dynamite. A dead shark sinks at once. In his Hawaiian days Sharkman Young used to rip open a dead horse, trail it behind his boat, harpoon the sharks as they swarmed to tear at the flesh. When he went into shark-hunting on a commercial scale, Sharkman Young strung 600-ft. nets along the ocean floor. A shark never turns back.

This road will offer a quick through-way to Concord and all points west on the Mohawk trail and the resulting congestion in Harvard Square must be relieved by making it easy for traffic to use the other side of the river...
