A PERPLEXING QUESTION. 
Freight Yard at Beverly Farms overtaxed, 
and no more Land. 
The freight officials of the Boston 
& Maine have been at Beverly Farms 
recently looking over the ground for 
additional freight yard room, and are 
greatly puzzled over the situation. 
Every available foot of land contingent 
to the station grounds has been uti- 
lized and there is no room now to take 
care of the great amount of freight 
handled at that station. 
Efforts have been made to buy 
more land, but the road has thus far 
made futile attempts. The three 
short sidings at present take up all 
the room, and there is no more land 
obtainable unless some of the proper- 
ty belonging to the summer residents 
can be obtained. 
The freight traffic at Beverly Farms 
within the past few years has increas- 
ed so rapidly that it has been a per- 
plexing problem for some time how to 
handle it. . 
The facilities are very small com- 
pared to what they ought to be, yet the 
enlargement of the yard has become a 
serious subject. Last month the 
freight receipts at thestation amounted 
to over $6,000. 
Wednesday the yard was so full that 
an extra freight train of sixteen cars 
had to be detained at Salem until the 
cars at the station were unloaded and 
taken away. 
It is said the freight traffic on the 
Gloucester branch has doubled within 
the past ten years and that it is in- 
creasing toa great extent from year 
to year. This is due to the great 
number of summer people who come 
every year to live on the North Shore. 
The Farms feels the increase, un- 
doubtedly, most of all. 
Lightning struck in several places 
during the shower Thursday. A big 
hole was torn in the street in front of 
Wyatt’s market, breaking the water 
pipe. Howard Morgan’s house was 
struck and the chimney demolished, 
as was also the H. P. King house off 
Paine avenue.
