NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Wenham, Amesbury, Bradford and 
Manchester. 
It is interesting to note how the 
tax was apportioned then—2o0o 
years ago—with Ipswich heading 
the list, 1000 Pounds; Salem, 814: 
Newbury, 698; Lynn, 330; Beverly, 
261; Gloucester, 201; and Manches- 
ter, which had only 50 years prior 
been set apart from Salem, at the 
bottom ot the list, 46 Pounds, 01 
about $130. The smallness of this 
figure may be seen when it its real- 
ized the state tax paid by Manches- 
ter the past year was more than 
100 times this amount—$13,680. 
The act furthermore directs the 
treasurer to send out his warrant 
to the selectmen or assessors, re- 
quiring them “to assess all ratable 
male polls above the age of sixteen 
years, at ten shillings ($2) the 
Poll. The Governor, Lieutenant- 
Governor and their families, the 
president, fellows and students of 
Harvard College, settled ministers

The paper upon which this act is 
printed is about the size of one of 
the pages of the Breeze, the subject 
matter filling four pages. The 
type is about the size of that used 
in these columns, but the old fash- 
ioned way of spelling makes read- 
ing rather difficult at times. 
The other paper seLerred: to at 
the beginning of this article was 
printed during the Revolutionary 
War, when Massachusetts was no 
longer a “province,” but was 
known as the “State of Massachu- 
setts-Bay,” and the subject matter 
of this paper has to do with the en- 
actment in the House of Represen- 
tatives, September 25, 1780, calling 
upon the counties of the State for 
supplies of grain and cattle to re- 
lieve the distress of the army. This 
levy was proportioned to the re- 
spective abilities of the various 
places and it is of interest to note 
that the heaviest assessment was 
upon Essex County, from which 
379,970 weight of beef asked. 
Salem headed the list this time, 
with an assessment of 48,530 Ibs.; 
Beverly, 19,880; Gloucester, 21,- 
180, and Manchester, again at the 
foot, 4490 pounds.

committee, stated that his club stood 
ready to challenge for the cup, and 
that the cha]lenge would be forwarded 
as soon as an intimation was received 
from the Manchester Yacht club that 
it would be acceptable.
