and put on the market without the 
elopement feature of it! Even our 
back-door neighbor, Wenham, has had 
a taste of it this week. . They re- 
turned! 
Manchester can well feel proud of 
her Memorial Chapel.’ One would 
have to travel many miles betore see- 
ing sucha magnificent little structure. 
This makes the second memorial to be 
presented to the town. The first was 
to the soldiers who fought and died 
for the union, the second in memory 
of a native son, where the last rites 
may be paid to those who have passed 
beyond. 
There will be a vacancy in the 
weather bureau if the weather fore- 
caster ever comes down on the North 
Shore. The cold and wet weather 
that he has been giving us the past 
week is not the kind that was ordered 
and as aresult the season is extremely 
backward. The number of summer 
residents that have arrived up to date 
is not up to the average at this time 
of year and all ‘the activities common 
to shore life at this season have not 
yet gotten under way. A great deal 
more warmth and sun is necessary to 
make the North Shore wake up from 
its winter quiet and take on its sum- 
mer*appearance of gaiety and life. 
It Appeals to All. 
The BREEZzE starts its first issue 
with a good subscription list. But it 
is small compared to what we want 
and what we expect. We want the 
BrEEZE to be read by every family on 
the North Shore. It will give the best 
news of Beverly, Manchester, Beverly 
Farms, Prides and Magnolia. There 
is no other paper which does this. 
Therefore you want the BREEZE in 
your home. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The subscription price of the 
BREEZE is $1.00 a year. Subscribers 
need not, however, feel they must 
subscribe for one year now. For the 
present we will accept trial subscrip- 
tions of three months for 25 cents, 
which is the same as the yearly rate; 
six months, 50 cents. 
Subscriptions may be sent by mail 
to the NortH SHORE BREEZE, 5 
Washington street, Beverly, or Man- 
chester-by-the-Sea. Orders for the 
paper may be left. with any newsdealer 
in Beverly, Manchester, Beverly 
Farms or Magnolia, or at the BREEZE 
offices, 5 Washington street, Beverly, 
and Pulsifer’s Block, Manchester.

NEW LIGHTS. 
The Manchester Electric Light Plant will be. 
in Operation by June 15. 
‘“We hope to have the West Man- 
chester section started by June 15, 
and the rest of the plant some time in 
July,” said A. A. Cushing, the mana- 
ger of the Manchester Electric Co., 
this week in reply to a query from 
the BREEZE man as to the probability 
of having the new lights by the mid- 
dle of next month. 
But that’s as far as he would ven- 
ture. He makes'no rash statements; 
but he thinks beyond any doubt the 
9 
‘‘juice”’ will be ready for use by June 
15. 
‘ Work on the new. plant is progress- 
ing most favorably. The work of lay- 
ing the underground conduits for the 
wires west of the station is practically 
complete. This includes bridge and 
Central streets from the Beverly line 
to the centre of the town, the Harbor 
street loop, School street to the en- 
trance of the Essex County grounds, 
and from Central street, by way of 
Union, Beach and Summer street ex- 
tension to the station. 
About 450 men are now at work 
laying the conduits. These are di- 
vided into five gangs. Two of these 
gangs are working on Summer street. 
Pipes have been laid from Coolidge’s 
Point up through the Cove, and to- 
day the menare working well into the 
Cove woods. Another gang, working: 
from the other end of Summer street, 
have succeeded in getting down al- 
most as far as the entrance to the 
McMillan estate. Conduits are also 
being laid on Sea street. 
The pipes having-been laid, another 
feature of the work is putting in the 
cables. This takes considerabie time. 
Men are now at work on the sections 
completed. 
Meanwhile electricians have their 
hands full wiring private residences 
and stables. Most of the later-built 
houses have been wired at the time of 
construction, while the older houses 
have not been. 
The sub-station is fast being put in 
condition to receive the power when it 
shall finally be’turned on from the 
Beverly station. The work of putting 
in the machinery is in the hands of the 
General Electric Co. 
It has not yet been made known 
what the rate shall be. Manager 
Cushing said he was not prepared to 
make any definite statement in this 
regard. He did state, however, there 
would be a summer and an all-the-year- 
round rate, and that a “ fair’’ price 
would be charged. And he supple- 
mented this further by saying the 
Manchester company was getting its 
power from Beverly at a “fair” 
figure:
