BEVERLY FARMS 
Purchases Summer Property. 
Today’s Beverly Times contains 
the following item: 
“‘One of the most important real- 
ty transactions affecting shore prop- 
erty for several years, has just been 
transacted whereby the Thomas El- 
liott estate at the Farms passes into 
the ownership of Dr. John H. Lan- 
eashire, of Detroit, Mich., who re- 
cently purchased the Charles Head 
place at Manchester for his: summer 
occupancy and became so much 
pleased with the North Shore that 
he became a real property owning 
eottager. 
‘Papers were passed through 
George L. Southwick today and will 
go on record early next month. The 
Elliott property consists of four 
aeres of land in a location which 
has been coveted for many years 
by ecottagers. It is across the street 
from the West Beach reservation, 
commands a splendid view of the 
ocean and when developed will 
make one of the most attractive es- 
tates at the Farms. Nearby are the 
estates of Sydney E. Hutchinson of 
Philadelphia, George Lee of Boston, 
the Boardmans, Rantouls, and it is 
but a short distance from ‘‘Edge- 
water,’’ the estate of the late Mrs. 
Levi Z. Leiter. The price paid is 
reported to have been in the vicin- 
ity of $50,000. Dr. Lancashire is 
planning for the erection of a man- 
sion house, a combination garage- 
stable and for much work in the 
way of landscape improvements. It 
is said that several other prominent 
Westerners are looking over Shore 
property and with the city council 
keeping the tax rate at a low figure 
it will have much to do towards 
making activity in the realty cir- 
eles along the shore. The purchas- 
ers of the Elliott property were 
much interested in the prospect of 
keeping the tax rate low and the 
feeling along the shore is that with 
a fair tax rate that Beverly will get 
a big increase in valuation from real 
estate developments and a low rate 
may induce more of the summer col- 
onists to pay their personal prop- 
erty tax in Beverly.’’ 
It is presumed, if Dr. Lancashire 
has bought this property, it is for 
the use of his daughter, Mrs. HE. 
Laurence White, and family. 
Tomorrow Mrs. Wm. Marshall, 
with her two children, will go to 
East Taunton for a visit of several 
weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Charles 
H. Hull, formerly of the Farms.

The 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Baseball for the coming season 
received a good start at a meeting 
held last evening at the rooms of O. 
W. Holmes council. Robert HE. 
Hodgkins was elected chairman of 
the meeting and Howard L. Morgan 
secretary. Both spoke in favor of 
having a team at the Farms the 
coming summer and after a free ex- 
pression of opinion on the subject 
by a number present, the following 
committee was appointed: Gregory 
P. Connolly, C. D. Shea, James KE. 
McDonnell, Benjamin F, Hawkins 
and Edwin F. Campbell. These 
men were asked to take up the mat- 
ter of organizing a team, to select 
a board of directors, one of whom 
shall be treasurer; to consider a 
manager and the best manner of 
providing funds; they were also in- 
structed to call a public meeting as 
soon as possible and submit a re- 
port at that time. Last season the 
Farms had an excellent team, with 
eames every Saturday afternoon 
and holiday, with a loss of only 
three games by close scores. Bev- 
erly Farms people will be pleased 
to hear that the prospects are good 
for a team this year. 
Real March Weather. 
Residents of the North Shore may 
not fear a continuation of winter 
weather well into the spring, for 
although Sunday marks the open- 
ine of official springtime the mer- 
eury today belies the fact. After a 
week of many variations of weather 
the prospects of an early escape 
from the clutches of further winter 
are good. Wednesday of this week 
was a day of phenomenons for the 
month of March. A little thunder 
and lightning, with snow, hail and 
rain mixed in for good measure 
was the combination for that day. 
However, we are willing to have 
March kick over the traces if April 
will be as meek and mild as repu- 
tation claims it to be.
