Considerable Activity at 
Beverly Farms’ Estates, 
The coming of Spring and good 
weather has started building opera- 
tions and improvements on many 
Beverly Farms’ estates. Augustus P. 
Loring has this week started a large 
addition to his house at Pride’s Cross- 
ing, consisting of a large music room 
with Italian fire place and several liv- 
ing rooms above. Messrs. Connolly 
Bros. are the contractors. 
The above named firm has also 
started in with a large force of men 
on the Judge Wm. H. Moore Estate 
and will complete the extensive im- 
provements which were begun last 
fall. 
Washington B. Thomas is also hav- 
ing an addition built to his summer 
home and among other improvements 
will be changes in the terrace wall. 
Messrs. E. N. Clark & Co. of Boston 
are doing the work. 
At the Henry C. Frick Estate 
Messrs. J. T. Wilson & Son and D. 
Linehan & Son, the principal con- 
tractors, have both added a_ consider- 
able larger force during the past week 
and with the B. Smith & Brother who 
are at work on an artesian well there, 
things are being carried on witha rush. 
On Haskell street Arthur Little’s 
new alterations are well in hand and 
when completed will add greatly to 
the general improvement in that lo- 
cality ~ 
Beverly Farms Resident 
Urges Better Sidewalks. 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
If you will allow me space in your 
paper, I would like to call the atten- 
tion of our City Fathers to the con- 
dition of the sidewalks in this section 
of the city, and the great need of im- 
provements upon them. While con- 
siderable has been said, and we expect 
will be done upon our streets so as to 
giving the public good roads, we yet 
have failed to hear of any proposed 
work to be done upon the sidewalks, 
and as the walking population of Bev- 
erly Farms are mostly people of mod- 
erate means, the question of wear and 
tear upon the shoe leather is, at least, 
of some importance. 
It is a rare occurrence that top 
dressing of any kind is ever applied to 
the sidewalks here, and in the case of 
any ever being applied, the material 
generally has been of such a character 
as to be a nuisance, while in some 
parts no kind of a walk exists. It 
does seem that it is time that this 
matter should be given proper atten- 
tion, and if the city would do a little 
each year in the shape of edgestones 
and a good top dressing of gravel or 
crusher dirt, the stones and_ roots, 
which we are now nearly breaking our 
necks over, and wearing out unneces- 
sary shoe leather, would at least be a 
decided improvement, and tend toadd 
much to the desirability of living here. 
“ BETTER SIDEWALKS.” 
A daughter arrived on Wednesday 
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry 
C. Hannable on High street. 
Next week will be vacation week 
for the pupils of the Farms school. 
Miss Jennie Twitchell is very ill 
with pneumonia at her home on Has- 
kell street. 
Rural Free Delivery. 
Our Essex neighbors are looking 
for rural free delivery in the near 
future. An inspector of this branch 
of the post-office department visited 
Essex last week andin company with 
Postermaster Perkins and W. W. Luf- 
kin, Cong. Gardner’s secretary, looked 
over the proposed route. It is thought 
the service may commence July 1.
