NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Miss Mary Dodge of Hamilton, had 
a narrow escape from fatal accident 
Wednesday evening while riding in 
the tormer’s auto from Manchester to 
Hamilton When ascending the high 
hill near the Tenney estate, the power 
gave out and the car started down the 
hill. Knowing the impetus it would 
attain before the bottom was reached 
and the difficulty of steering the auto 
backward, Mr. Whitcomb turned it off 
the road toward the embankment. 
The machine over turned, throwing 
Miss Dodge about 15 feet and pinning 
Mr. Whitcomb under it. Miss Dodge 
was cared for at Dr. Blaisdell’s office 
and was later removed to her home. 
Mr. Whitcomb’s injuries were slight. 
The car was smashed completely.

BEVERLY FARMS, 
This spring Hart street was put in 
excellent condition by the street de- 
partment, but since its completion 
the thoroughfare has received no 
water, Causing it to ravel and in other 
ways doing damage to a street which 
would be a fine stretch of road if it 
could only receive a daily watering. 
At the rate automobiles are travelling 
over this strip of highway, leaving be- 
hind clouds of dust, it is no wonder 
that complaints and criticisms are 
beginning to be heard. Since the 
city has six fine horses stabled at the 
West street engine house, and hardly 
work enough for exercise, it does seem 
that, with practically no expense to 
the city, this street, as well as many of 
the side streets which now do not 
receive any attention, could easily be 
cared for.
