Manchester Yacht club and to the shopping center of the 
town. 
While Manchestér has received these later blessings 
through its increased resources it has never lost sight of 
the fact that it was originally its wonderful natural beauty 
that brought to it hundreds of seekers after rest amid the 
beauties of nature. For that reason the people of Man- 
chester spend a good deal of time and money in the de- 
velopment of these natural resources. A goodly sum is 
spent each year for the care of the famed Singing Beach, 
for the upkeep of the harbor, the provision of a source 
of pure water supply and a high pressure water system, 
and the maintenance and enlargement of public parks. 
Manchester has added the modern and material blessings 
while retaining the natural and the beautiful.

Beverly Farms New Public Library 
EVERLY FARMS is proud of its newest institution, 
its public library. The Beverly Farms public library 
is one of the most attractive types of modern community 
building in Eastern Massachusetts. It was built through 
the generosity of Misses Katherine P. and Louisa P. 
Loring of Pride’s Crossing, who gave the site, and the 
City of Beverly which: appropriated $30,000 for the con- 
struction. The building is absolutely fireproof through- 
out. It is of brick and terra cotta construction and the 
style of architecture is colonial. 
' Besides the land given by the Misses Loring the city 
bought another lot adjoining which it is now being urged 
to use for a public park as proposed at the time of pur- 
chase. The park will give an ideal setting for the new 
library building. The library sets back 35 feet from 
Vine st., has a frontage of 60 feet and when the grounds 
are completed will be one of the beauty spots of Beverly 
Farms. 
The main floor contains the reading room for adults 
and children, the librarian’s room and the stack room. 
In the basement a comfortable hall, with a seating capa- 
city of 150, is located. ‘There is a stage at one end, mak- 
ing the building ideal for all sorts of community activity. 
The building has a modern heating and lighting system 
and is up-to-date in every particular. 
Since 1893 there had been a branch library at Beverly 
Farms when the books which were used for the “Neigh- 
bor’s Library,” collected by Mrs. Henry Whitman and 
those that Miss Louisa P. Loring of “Burn-Side,” Pride’s 
Crossing had circulated from her home, were given to 
Beverly. Beverly was then operating under the town 
form of government and the gift was made on condition 
that the town provide a reading room, magazines and a 
librarian. For a long time the library was maintained ir: 
the Grand Army hall, Central square, but many additions 
to the library had created cramped conditions. The new 
library is handy to Central square and is a decided assest 
to the Farms.
