NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MOTH WORK 
Continued from page J 
will be immediately available to be spent 
in the Manchester woods and _ those im- 
mediately back of them. 
$5000 of this money can be got from 
the State fund. When I got the acting 
Governor Mr. Draper to agree that 
$10,000, could be spent in preserving 
the North Shore woods, it was only on ° 
condition that enough money was raised 
to do comprehensive and thorough work 
and that the State’s share should be not 
over 334 per cent. 
The other $5000 I can put in. It 
has been subscribed by summer residents 
of Manchester to be called for in case 
enough is forthcoming to do all the work 
(to wit, at least $15,000). 
In Beverly the work has been going 
on for fours weeks. 160 men are now 
at work and are doing good work, creo- 
soting the nests and cleaning up the 
brush and poor trees ready for spraying 
this summer. Here the State gives 
$5000, Beverly $5000 and the summer 
resident committee $5000. 
Mancheste: will be asked to make the 
same arrangement. 
Already it is almost too late, but every 
day now counts two. All the Manches- 
ter woods are not yet scouted, only those 
in the western end of the town and _ just 
east of the Manchester—Essex road. 
I asked the State Superintendent to 
write me what conditions were found in 
Manchester. His reply just received 
was in part as follows: 
‘“There is one bad colony between 
Brookwood road and Pine street; one 
between the Old Road and Southern 
avenue, on the line; one between the 
Old Road and School street. “There is 
also avery bad infestation in Manchester 
Cove, extending from Summer street to 
the railroad track. I was mistaken when 
I informed you that we were nearly 
through with Manchester, as we have a 
large amount of territory to cover yet in 
Manchester proper. 
‘The above mentioned colonies are 
in very bad condition, and if something 
is not done this year in the way of thin- 
ing, spraying andtreating the worst in- 
festations, they will spread over an enor- 
mous area. If money can possibly be 
raised so that this work can be taken up 
immediately or within a very few days, 
it will be a great saving to all parties con- 
cerned. 
““TIn order to care for the above col- 
onies in the proper way, it will require 
an expenditure of not less than $10,000. 
This leaves a balance of $5000 to care 
for such colonies as may be located this 
month.”’ 
This last was on the assumption which 
we have agreed upon, to wit: An ex- 
penditure of $15,000 of which the State 
will contribute $5000, the town $5000,

CLASS INITIATION. 
Grand Officers and Eighty Guests from Out- 
of-Town Lodges Visit A. O. U. W. in 
Manchester. 
‘Tuesday, April 7, was a red letter day 
in the history of North Shore lodge, A. 
O. U. W., Manchester, for on that 
evening there was a class initation of six 
candidates, the degree work being done 
by the degree team of Fernwood lodge, 
of Gloucester. On this occasion also 
some of the grand officers were present 
and delegations from Boston, Roxbury, 
Danvers, Salem, Beverly and Gloucester 
lodges, some 80 visitors in all, were 
guests of the lodge. 
The initiation and floor work was con- 
ducted in a most creditable manner, the 
floor work in particular being of interest, 
for it was a new feature for many mem- 
bers here. 
The guests were met at the station by 
a delegation of the local lodge members 
and were escorted to the hall amid a 
blaze of red fire. Following the in- 
itiation and floor work remarks were 
and the resident committee 
$5000. 
I sincerely hope that the citizens of 
Manchester will seize this opportunity to 
save their woods from destruction, and 
by appropriating $5000, secure $10,000 
more to be spent with it for this worthy 
object.

In the meanwhile a bountiful spread 
was being prepared in the banquet hall 
and a little before 10 o'clock the gather- 
ing sat down to tables well filled with 
food, including baked beans, cold meats, 
indian pudding, rolls and coffee, pastry, 
cake, etc. Cigars were afterwards 
passed. 
After the supper some of the guests — 
departed on the 10.15  Boston-bound 
train, while others returned to Glouces- 
ter on the 10.20. A few remained un- 
til the theatre train, a general good time 
intervening until midnight. 
Much credit is due the Grand Master 
Workman, and Deputy George Ander- 
son of Gloucester for the interest they 
manifested in bringing about a_ class 
initiation.
