...King (salary $7,500). They were turned out not by the full Commission of five but by Chairman George Otis Smith and Commissioners Claude L. Draper and Marcel Garsaud organizing as a quorum of three. Also dismissed just as he was submitting his resignation was Executive Secretary Frank R. Bonner, often accused of being too friendly and lenient with private power companies seeking licenses before the old Commission...
Between Messrs. Russell & King and Secretary Bonner had long raged a war of power policy. Solicitor Russell was intent upon squeezing what he claimed was "water" from the capitalization of private power companies. No less zealous was Accountant King in making them toe the financial mark.

...mild attitude toward water power regulation. The make-up of the new Commission became an all-important issue because its membership would determine long-range policies for dealing with the hydroelectric industry.

Secretary Bonner was accused of favoring private power companies by radical Senators who wanted the new Commission to dismiss him at once. What made Secretary Bonner persona non grata to this senatorial group was exemplified by him last week in a Manhattan speech...
Works by Blake have been lent by Paul Hyde Bonner '12, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Mrs. William Emerson, G. C. Smith Jr. '15, Widener Library (The Amy Lowell Collection), and the library of J. P. Morgan '89. The show is arranged so as to represent the artist in his varied achievements, and enable the spectator to compare different works on the same subject. Blake made his own etchings and printed them, but he and Mrs. Blake water colored them by hand, with the result that the same print is often found in different coloring schemes. A greater part...
