$54,500 SPENT IN PRESERVATION OF NORTH SHORE WOODS 
More Than 3200 Acres Cared for the Past Year— Work Carried on 
. Largely by Summer Residents 
The annual report of the summer 
residents committees in charge of 
the gypsy moth and road work on 
the North Shore has just been issued 
by William D. Schier of the Beverly 
Cove colony, representing the com- 
mittees. The gentlemen composing 
these committees are: Oliver Ames, 
Charles H. Tyler and William D. 
Sohier, Beverly; Major Henry L. 
Higginson, Gardiner M. Lane and 
George Wigglesworth, Manchester. 
The report states the general pur- 
poses of the work as being ‘‘to pre- 
serve the forests on the North Shore, 
especially those directly back of the 
valuable shore property -and also a 
strip from 100 to 200 feet wide on 
the sides of all our beautiful wooded 
drives.’’ 
As to the present conditions the 
report says: ‘‘Conditions through- 
out the territory, as a whole, are 
better than they have ever been. 
The warm, dry season, however, 
made the caterpillars on some places 
pupate earlier than usual, and the 
result was that a few of the colonies 
have more nests now than they had 
last year because it was impossible 
to spray them early enough in the 
season to kill all the caterpillars be- 
fore they pupated. Over 3,300 acres 
were sprayed during the season. At 
one time there were over twelve 
spraying machines actively at work. 
We found that our new spraying ma- 
chines were doing much more effi- 
cient and economical work than the 
older ones. They actually threw 
over the tops of the trees and made 
a finer spray, and were more eco- 
nomical because, with their addi- 
tional power, nearly double the ter- 
ritory could be covered in one day 
with the same labor cost.”’ 
The work done the last year was 
in charge of the state forester’s de- 
partment. The money secured to 
earry on the work was obtained from 
the following sources: Beverly, 
$5000; Manchester, $5000; Glouces- 
‘‘Everybody”’ at B. F. Keith’s 
The genuine novelty of the the- 
atrical season is promised for next 
week at B. F. Keith’s Theatre, when 
Boston will get its first glimpse of 
Max Hart’s new production, ‘‘Ev- 
erybody.’’ Like ‘‘ Everywoman,”’ 
its predecessor on the legitimate 
stage, ‘‘Everybody”’ is a modern 
morality play, all the characters in 
the story being symbolical, and 
while the locale is laid in New York 
ter, $2500; state, $12,500; sub- 
scriptions summer residents, $12,500 
—making a total of $37,500. <A 
grand total of $54,500 was spent in 
going over 3200 acres, the balance 
of the money necessary, over the 
$37,500 raised, being provided one 
half by the state and one half by the 
summer residents. 
In regard to the wood roads the 
report says: ‘‘To all riders, drivers, 
pedestrians, and bicyclists the beau- 
tiful wooded roads are one of the 
chief attractions of the North Shore. 
There are over thirty miles of these 
roads which we have built and are 
maintaining wholly by subscription, 
at a cost of from $50 to $75 a mile 
annually. This money is obtained 
from a few of the subscribers to the 
moth fund, who allow their  sub- 
scriptions to be used either for moth 
work or road work. It did not seem 
advisable to try to collect two sep- 
arate subscriptions for work in the 
woods, as the repair of these roads 
is, relatively, a very small item.’’ 
‘‘Our hopes for the future’’ is the 
heading of the last paragraph in the 
report. ‘‘Our forests can be pre- 
served if the necessary money is 
provided and the work continued on 
the lines on which it has been begun. 
Your committee hopes that the sub- 
seribers, the commonwealth and the 
cities and towns will cooperate in 
the future as they have 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 to- 
ward this work, will cooperate by 
sending a check to Wm. D. Sohier, 
agent, 15 Ashburton Place, Boston.”’ 
The list of subscribers shows that 
$14,675 has been subscribed by Bev- 
erly, $9,170 by Manchester and 
$2625 by Magnolia summer resi- 
dents. 
City, it is applicable to a peculiar 
phase of American life found in ev- 
ery city, and is of intense human in- 
terest. In short, ‘‘Everybody’’ is 
nothing less than a complete dra- 
matie production cut down and con- 
densed into a twenty-minute play- 
let, the cast being one of the strong- 
est and best balanced ever seen in 
vaudeville, and the production be- 
ing unusually magnificent. Aside 
from ‘‘Everybody’’ the bill will 
have a wealth of novelties.
