FIRST HORSELESS STEAMER. | 
Tests oF NEw BEVERLY ‘TRACTOR 
VeRY SATISFACTORY. 
A most valuable addition to the 
fire fighting apparatus of Beverly is 
the new motor tractor attached to 
Engine three, located at the Bever- 
ly Farms station. Incidentally, it is 
the first horseless fire engine on the 
North Shore and when given an off- 
cial tryout last Thursday pleased all 
of the officials by its exhibition of 
speed and _ hill-climbing qualities. 
Firemen from all over Essex county, 
who witnessed the tests, were loud 
in their praise of the machine and 
agreed that the North Shore resort 
would be even much better protected 
from fire than at present. 
The runs which the machine made 
along the shore as far as Beverly 
proper indicate that it will be a valu- 
able adjunct to the department in 
responding to alarms in the summer 
colony at Pride’s Crossing and Bev- 
erly Farms. At a fire of a serious 
nature at any of the summer resi- 
dences in that vicinity it would take 
not a little time for the central sta- 
tion apparatus to reach the outskirts 
of the city. With the new machine 
at the Farms it will be a matter of 
only three or four minutes for the 
tractor to reach any part of the Bev- 
erly summer colony. 
In the tests last week the engine 
was run from the Farms engine 
house to the Pride’s Crossing depot, 
taking the turn by the postoffice, and 
returning in I min., 52 secs. A speed 
of 27 1-2 miles an hour was made 
running by the Frick estate, and 
Mingo beach hill was taken easily 
and at good speed. From the Farms 
station to the Central fire station in 
Beverly an average of more than 20 
Oak Street 
Beverly Farms 
miles an hour was made. The Bey- 
erly officials are much pleased with 
the machine and believe that the 
$4,500 spent in obtaining it was a 
good expenditure,

NEW BANK IN BEVERLY 
Ratpw H. Mann Resicns BrivcE- 
PorT, Cr., Position TO START 
Work HERE. 
Former Treasurer Ralph H. Mann 
of the Manchester Trust Co., who 
organized the bank in 1911, has been 
in town this week renewing acquaint- 
ances, having resigned his position 
in Bridgeport, Conn., to come to Bev- 
erly to organize a trust company. 
From a recent issue of the daily 
paper at Bridgeport we reprint the 
following concerning Mr, Mann: 
“Ralph H. Mann, secretary of the 
Bridgeport Trust Company, has ten- 
dered his resignation as secretary 
and director of the Bridgeport Trust 
Company to take effect February 1. 
Mr, Mann has served as secretary of 
the Bridgeport Trust Company since 
its consolidation with the Federal 
Trust Company, about a year ago. 
He was then treasurer of the Fed- 
eral Trust Company, in the organiza- 
tion of which he had an important 
part. 
“Before he came to Bridgeport he 
was treasurer of the Manchester 
Trust Company, of Manchester, 
Mass., which he organized and which 
had a phenomenal growth under his 
management. He resigns his posi- 
tion in the Bridgeport Trust Com- 
pany to take up important financial 
work elsewhere. His ability as an 
organizer has attracted the attention ~ 
of prominent men interested in the 
creation of a great system of indus- 
trial banks, the full purport and de- 
tails of which will soon be given to 
the public, and he has been asked to 
take a prominent part in this great 
work, Before commencing this he 
will proceed immediately to organ- 
ize a trust company in Beverly, Mass. 
“Few young men have made their 
influence so widely felt in the bank- 
ing world, where he is recognized as 
a most progressive up-to-date banker 
with unlimited energy. He has many 
friends in Bridgeport who will sin- 
cerely regret his departure, but heart- 
ily congratulate him upon the broader 
field opening before him.”
