ner, that there may be plenty of reath- 
ing and playing space for the younger 
portion of the people in this part of the 
city where the inhabitants may rest or 
play. As amoatter of fact the children 
practically live there in the summer sea- 
son. 
The change in boating and bathing de- 
manded some few years ago that a suit- 
able pier be constructed, which was done 
and has proven a great suceess and in 
themselves the pier and bathing facilities 
have greatly enhanced the value and 
rental of property at Beverly Farms and 
Pride’s Crossing. 
The corporation has had built many 
bath-houses, mostly in the large rectangle 
at the easterly end of the property. Un- 
der the by-laws the directors have al- 
lowed certain members of the corpora- 
tion to construct upon a portion of the 
property bath-houses which shall be re- 
moved when the corporation may be 
able to provide a suitable building or 
buildings of its own. 
A certain portion has been leased from 
time to time to different persons for a 
good land rental, the conditions being 
that a sea wall was constructed, the land 
filled and an agreement entered into with 
the aforesaid persons that they shall 
vacate said property atthe will of the 
directors. 
The present board of directors inherit- 
ed a law suit brought by the Preston es- 
tate for a certain portion of the property 
and which has been in litigation for a 
number of years. This suit has been 
tried before an auditor, then a jury and 
at last was brought before the superior 
court, a final decree being made the 
latter part ot last May, as a result of 
which the corporation retains privileges 
which otherwise would have been lost. 
It has cost the corporation much money 
and the board of directors much time 
and labor. 
Thus far no persons except the mem- 
bers of the corporation have taken much 
interest in the corporation or its affairs; 
in fact, only the members of the corpor- 
ation know its history, and it might be 
added in fairness that nearly all the mem- 
bers are numbered in the regular in- 
habitant or native population. They 
have borne all of the burdens, many of 
them having given unsparingly their time, 
endeavors and aid, while onthe other 
band everyone who comes here even for 
a short period in the summer derives all 
the benefits and privileges which the cor- 
poration can give and of which, certainly, 
advantage is taken. 
The proportionate part of real estate 
within the corporation limits owned by 
the resident population is very small when 
compared with the real estate and_per- 
sonal property owned by the summer re- 
sidents and only one conclusion can be 
drawn as to what portion of the com- 
munity derives the greater benefit. 
The following statements might also 
be made: 
The corporation has a Board of Dir- 
ectors consisting of seven members who 
are elected annually. 
The act of incorporation does not al- 
low borrowing of money. | 
For money borrowed in the past the 
indorsements of members of the corpora- 
tion on notes have been obtained. 
‘The running expenses may be classed 
as follows: The caring for interest and 
sinking funds on pierf note; the caring 
for notes issued from time to time in 
anticipation of rental and subscriptions; 
the cleaning uf-beach, care of pier and 
bath-houses and patrol on beach who 
acts also as caretaker of property; the 
cost of the Preston law suit, so called; 
the filling of upland and when possible 
any general improvements; maintainance 
of the public highway from Lee’s gate 
to the railroad crossing; clerical work. 
The income may be classed as fol- 
lows: Subscriptions to pier fund; 
rentals from land; subscriptions to beach 
cleaning fund; rental from-bath-houses; 
from storage of floats. 
In view of the above facts it would 
seem that co-operation and aid should be 
cheerfully extended by our summer resi- 
dents toward making West Beach as 
beautiful and attractive as any other por- 
tion of Beverly Farms.

EMENT 
I beg to announce to the residents of the North Shore that 
I have  pur- 
chased from Walker Bros & Co. the provision business conducted by them at 
Beverly Farms for the past twenty years, including their good will and trade. 
Having had twenty-five years experience on the *North Shore, eight years as 
manager of Wyatt’s Market, I thoroughly understand the selection of choice 
meats, fruits, vegetables, etc., carried by first-class markets. 
The business will 
be conducted under the name of Brewer’s Market, which will be opened on or 
about April 20, 1908. 
I solicit your patronage. 
WALTER P. BREWER.

our North Shore business to Walter P. Brewer.
