VOLUME 5. NuMBER 52 
A happy and most prosperous New 
Year to all! 
It was a green Christmas; but then, 
we have no fault to find with such 
beautiful weather. 
Official winter began last Sunday, Dec. 
22. Anda beautiful day it was, too! 
If winter could only be like that through- 
out, everybody would be happy,—but 
the iceman. 
And now, probably, the teachers will 
do a little kicking, —figuratively speaking, 
of course. Most all of the holidays in 
1908 fall on Saturday or Sunday, and 
consequently the customary “‘ day off’’ 
is not forth-coming. February 22 falls 
on a Saturday, as will also Decoration 
Day. Patriots Day, Apr. 19, falls on a 
Sunday,—FE aster Sunday. Bunker Hill 
day, June 17, falls on Wednesday. 
Another holiday falling on Saturday is 
July 4. 
In last week’s issue we quoted in ex- 
tracts from the annual report of the 
Bureau of Statistics of Labor the sug- 
gestion that in Manchester “‘there is a 
grand opportunity to erect an up-to-date 
hotel.’’ This article has been the theme 
of no little discussion and comment dur- 
ing the week. The desirability of a 
modern hotel emphasized by the report is 
made more emphatic by the opinions we 
have heard expressed on all sides. But 
Manchester requires something more 
than an up-to-date hotel, in the common 
acceptance of the term. ‘To be aprofit- 
able business venture and maintain the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
prestige and exclusiveness of this summer 
colony, a de /uxe hotel constructed in 
conformity to the strictest building laws 
as regards safety and proof against fire, 
with the very strictest regard to sanitary 
conditions and with every modern im- 
provement that characterize the very best 
metropolitan hotels, never need want for 
sufficient guests provided the proper lo- 
cation is secured and such an hotel is 
properly managed. 
The Masconomo House property is 
certainly an ideal location for such. Its 
commanding location, proximity to Sing- 
ing Beach, grand opportunity for laying 
out spacious lawns,—a most desirable 
feature of summer hotels, — and innumer- 
able conditions which the services of the 
building and landscape architect would 
develop, all contribute to make this prop- 
erty absolutely the very best location in 
town and one not to be excelled on the 
North Shore, and with few superior sites 
on the Atlantic coast. 
Not alone must such a hotel be up-to- 
the-minute—but it must be three hun- 
dred and sixty-five days ahead of the 
minute and keep there. It must be a 
“*North Shore’? hotel—every appoint- 
ment, every condition and every service, 
not just as good, but superior—offering 
every comfort and every luxury that the 
wealth of its guests can demand. 
Such a hotel is desired by not a few 
of those who own their own summer 
homes here, as a necessary feature of the 
social development and well-being of he 
summer colony. 
A large hotel offering rooms en suite 
would take care of many families who 
would come to the North Shore for a 
single season, but who are now prevent- 
ed by the absence of just such accommo- 
dations or inability to rent, for a season, 
a summer residence on account of the 
great demand. 
Such an enterprise will prove a mint 
past year, especially 
surance Co. 
New Year. 
| take this means of extending to my Manchester, 
Magnolia and Beverly Farms customers the compli- 
ments of the season, and thank them one and all for the 
generous share of fire and life insurance given me the 
in the 
I wish all a happy and most prosperous 
for some hotel man or syndicate, besides 
an incalculable influence for the up-build- 
ing and deyelopment of the business con- 
ditions of the town and the entire section 
of the North Shore. 
Real Estate 
And Improvements 
George S. Sinnicks, the well known 
Manchester mason builder, has been 
awarded a ig contract at Ayer, Mass., 
for the construction of subways under 
the Boston & Maine tracks at the rail- 
road junction there. The danger of 
crossing the tracks at this important point 
has been apparent for some time and 
after much consideration the railroad de- 
cided to have subways built under the 
tracks. Mr. Sinnicks was one of the 
many builders who figured on the work. 
The work includes some 80 feet of sub- 
way, eight feet wide, and lined on the 
sides and overhead with white glazed- 
face brick.
