REPAIRS, GRAVELING AND OILING 
Grapevine Road, Essex Street, Rubbly Road to 
Myopia Entrance, Parts of Larch Road and Walnut 
Street—These roads were repaired and oiled last year. 
The cost of the work was nearly $3,100. Subscriptions 
were collected from various members of the Myopia Club 
amounting to $1,375. The town of Wenham contributed 
$223, and the town of Hamilton $100, The deficit of 
$1400 was made up, one half each, by Messrs, Moore and 
Frick. 
As in former years, the city of Beverly agreed ‘to 
pay bills to an amount not exceeding $1,000 for shaping 
and repairing about ten miles of road in Beverly which 
are much used by summer residents. These roads are 
Greenwood Avenue, Thissel Street, Common Lane, Boyle, 
Standley, East Corning and Corning Streets, and Brimbal 
In addition the city paid a part of the cost 
of oiling done on Ober, Neptune, and several other 
streets; the balance being paid from the watering fund 
raised by Mr. Boardman. 
The work on the Beverly Farms end has been ‘in 
charge of Connolly Brothers, under the particular charge 
of Mr, Thomas D, Connolly. The work on the Beverly 
end has been in charge of Mr. John A. Gaffey. The 
repairs on Wood Roads were made in the Chebacco and 
Essex Woods by Mr. David E. Mears, of Essex, 
and in the Commons by Mr, Stephen D, Edwards. All 
of these gentlemen gave their personal attention and a 
great deal of interest to the work. It is due to their 
efficient work that the roads are as good as they are, 
and the cost, considering the result accomplished, ex- 
ceedingly small. 
COOPERATION BY THE COMMONWEALTH AND THE CITIES 
AND TowNs 
Your committees feel that the summer residents 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
owe a great deal to Governor Foss and his State Of- 
ficials, the State Forester, Superintendent and men in 
charge of the work, to the Mayor and City Government 
of Beverly, and to the Selectmen of Manchester, for 
their generous help and co-operation, without which it 
would have been impossible for your committee to have 
done systematic, thorough and efficient work against the 
gypsy moth under one responsiblle head, and without 
regard to town lines. The Selectmen of Hamilton have 
also co-operated by caring for many of the woods in that 
town. Without this co-operation and the money given 
by the State, municipalities and subscribers, our forests 
and beautiful shore would have geen greatly injured. 
It requires a large amount of pluck, as well as sound 
business judgment. on the part of city and town officials 
in these days, to authorize the spending in their charge 
by an outside committee or commissioner, or by others 
than town and city officials. We believe, however, that the 
results obtained are ample justification of their action, 
Our Hopgs For THE FuTURE 
Your committees believe that they have demon- 
strated the fact that the woods can be preserved by 
thorough and systematic work. 
It is the opinion of the best experts that in the back 
woods the various parasites will soon effect an equili-_ 
brium which will prevent the trees that are not particu- 
larly susceptible to the attack of the gypsy moth from 
being destroyed. 
Your Committees hope that the subscribers, 
ate in the future as they have done in the past. They 
hope that every resident and summer resident on the 
North Shore, who has enjoyed our woods, our trees, and 
our dustless roads, and who has not yet subscribed, or 
who has not yet given his fair share towards the cost 
of this work, will co-operate by sending a check to Wm. 
D. Sohier, Agent, 15 Ashburton Place; Boston.
