The Summer Residence Zone 
It has high hills, beautiful woodland drives, a charming 
lake, a salt water-river which ‘‘like a ribbon of silver’’ tlows 
to the sea. Boating, fishing and bathing abound. Although it 
has water on all sides it seldom if ever has the disagreeable 
fog which is so prevalent in other places. The high hills cov- 
ered with dense forests which surround the town keep the 
fog away. We have many desirable places aggregating about 
2000 acres for sale. One feature of Essex is, our valuation is 
so low that the addition of but one million would halve the tax 
rate.

Raymond’s corner, at the june- 
tion of Main and Martin strects, is 
a very dangerous place. On Mon- 
day an auto and an electric car 
just escaped collision with a scratch 
on the auto, and a tilt of the fen- 
der on the electric. A few days be- 
fore, the President’s auto contain- 
ing President Taft and friends nar- _ 
rowly escaped collision. Very nar- - 
row escapes occur daily. Everyone, 
cars, autos, and carriages should go 
slower around the corner or a bad ac- 
cident will oceur.
