BEVERLY FARMS 
Rev. C. S. Pond will preach at the 
Baptist church tomorrow morning on 
‘Jusus Christ and Secular Life.’ In 
the evening he will preach on “‘ Fourth 
Word on the Cross,’’ in the series of 
Lenten sermons. 
Among the talent who is to appear at 
the entertainment given in G. A. R. 
hall by the Associates next Monday 
evening, will be John Bresnahan, a well 
known local singer; Miss Mary Connolly 
of Prides, who has already established a 
reputation for her readings and dramatic 
work, and who will soon make _ her 
debut upon the public stage; Master 
Richard Craver, a Beverly Farms boy, 
will render some recitations; Warrie 
Winn of Boston, an impersonator and 
humorist; and some local Italians will 
perform upon the mandolin and guitar. 
The reputation acquired by the mem- 
bers of Preston Relief Corps for giving 
the public their money’s worth at all 
their public affairs was emphasized Tues- 
day evening at their supper given in the 
banquet hall of G. A. R.. building. 
From shortly after 5 to 7 o'clock they 
were kept busy looking after the wants 
of the large number who could not resist 
the temptation of the good things offered. 
The menu consisted of bake beans, 
salads, cold meats, hot rolls, coffee, 
pies, cake, etc., and was surely suffici- 
ent and plenty for about every one. And 
incidentally the ladies were repaid for 
their hard work by being able to add 
materially to their funds, which are al- 
ways devoted to some good cause. 
Engineer Eli R. Hodgkins, the Bev- 
erly Farms representative on the Board 
of Fire Engineers, has given the Farms 
people quite a surprise this week by tend- 
ering his resignation from that position 
to Mayor Dow. He hasasked to be re- 
lieved from his duties as soon as conven- 
ient. Much regret is expressed over En- 
gineer Hodgkins’ step as he is efficient 
and has the confidence of not only the 
members of the department but of the 
entire community. Mr. Hodgkins has 
been identified with the department for 
years and wasamember at the time of 
the death of Rufus A. Standley who was 
A 
tive banking institution.

then engineer. He was appointed to 
fill the vacancy and has received the ap- 
pointment each year since. It is inti- 
mated that Mr. Hodgkins finds the duties 
somewhat confining and that it interferes 
with his business. His successor has 
not yet been appointed. ‘There are sev- 
eral names mentioned, all Farms men, 
from which part of the city it is very 
likely the new man will come. 
Inadequate Conditions at Beverly 
Station. 
On the petition for better protection 
of passengers going east from the Beév- 
erly station the Board of Aldermen 
eranted a hearing last Tuesday evening, 
J. M. Publicover being the only petition- 
er to appear. Mr. Publicover said in 
part: ‘‘I have seen some very close 
calls and it seems to me that there should 
be some safer way. I think, too, that 
the Beverly merchants loose trade, as 
many ladies from the Farms who would 
like to trade in Beverly now go through 
to Salem as they do not like to risk cross- 
ing the tracks.’’ He said that he con- 
sidered the crossing over of the tracks to 
and from the waiting room very danger- 
OUS. 
Rept. Wm. R. Brooks stated that 
while he was not a signer to the petition 
he was in favor of it and said that a wait- 
ing room on the easterly side or a sub- 
way was needed. “The Mayor, Alder- 
man Hodgkins and others spoke upon 
the matter as to the advisability of pro- 
ceeding in the matter and the hearing 
was ordered closed.
