The State Highway. 
The Massachusetts State Highway 
Commission has granted the petition 
of the city of Beverly and Monday 
agreed to build the new state highway 
from Chapman’s Corner to the Man- 
chester line. 
The state is to bear one-third of the 
expense and the other two-thirds is to 
be contibuted by the shore residents. 
The commission has allotted $6000 
for the present year, the balance to be 
spent next year. 
The city is to be allowed 90 cents a 
ton for crushed stone to Thissell 
street and Connolly Brothers $1.30 a 
ton delivered, on the highway below 
that point, provided the quantity does 
not exceed 9000 tons, and $1.25 if 
above that quantity. 
The work will be begun as soon as 
the question of laying new water pipes 
in that locality is settled. 
Hearing at the Farms. 
Much interest was manifested in the 
public hearing at Marshall’s hall, 
Beverly Farms, last Friday evening, 
on the matter of a public playground. 
More than 130 people young and old, 
attended and applauded the speeches. 
Several sites were advanced for the 
playground by the various speakers, 
but there seems to be no one spot in 
particular which the majority favor. 
Among the sites mentioned were : 
Marshall’s field, back of the engine 
house ; the Lee place at West Beach ; 
the Larcom estate near the Farms 
school house ; the mill pond site ; and 
the Hodgkins land. Among the 
speakers were: Ex-Alderman D. W. 
Hardy, ex-Councilman H. E. Morgan, 
W. B. Publicover, Chas. Day, John H. 
Watson, Eben F. Day, W. R. Brooks, 
Stephen J. Connolly, Thomas J. Mc- 
Donnell, F. H. Pierce and William
