Plans for a North Shore Boulevard. 
A Boston to Gloucester boulevard 
is embodied in the plans for a road 
to extend from Loring avenue in 
Salem to the Marblehead line, and 
continue along the shore. If: the 
preliminary plans are finally de- 
cided upon, the land bordering on 
Forest river will be reserved as a 
park and grove. 
It is proposed to construct a 
bridge across Salem harbor at a 
point above Salem Willows, by 
means of which the towns and cities 
along the entire north shore would 
be made easy of access. The new 
boulevard would end in the vicin- 
ity of Naugus Head, and if the re- 
maining part of the proposition is 
carried out the town of Marblehead 
would construct a shore road around 
Peach’s point to join the new boule- 
vard. 
The development of the west 
shore of Marblehead has for a long 
time been a much discussed question 
in various town meetings, and it was 
only at the annual town meeting last 
March that a committee of five citi- 
zens was appointed to investigate 
the cost and consider the advisability 
of building a shore road. 
The advantages of the new plan 
are many for besides being of ines- 
timable value to Marblehead, it 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
would also benefit the entire North 
Shore, for with a bridge over Sa- 
lem harbor and the completion of a 
boulevard the roads leading to Bos- 
ton would be the best in the State. 
The roadwork from Beverly and 
‘loucester to Boston is all in good 
condition, with the exception of the 
roads in Salem. That city is con- 
sidered the missing link in the good 
road chain, but the carrying out of 
the new project would overcome 
this defect.—Beverly Times. 
The Bakers Island Lights. 
One hundred and thirteen years 
ago the lights on Bakers Island were 
lighted for the first time. The first 
lighthouse was a _ long, wooden 
structure, the keeper’s residence be- 
ing in the centre, and the lights at 
either end. , It was raised Sept. 16, 
1797, and the lights were shown 
Jan. 3, 1798. In 1816, the double 
lights were discontinued for some 
reason, and but one was shown. 
This arrangement continued until 
1820, much dissatisfaction being ex- 
pressed meanwhile. As a result of 
joint action by the Salem Marine so- 
ciety and the town of Marblehead, 
new lighthouses were _ erected, 
double lights were restored Oct. 18, 
1820, and they have continued until 
the present time. 
Game Protection. 
The Department of Agriculture 
has made careful estimates of the 
number of deer killed last season, 
and it announces that in 22 States 
for which statistics are available the — 
bag was 60,150 deer. No estimate 
was made for California and some 
other Western States, and in other 
States, such as New Hampshire, 
North and South Carolina, no sta- 
tistics were available. Making fair 
allowances for such States, the num- 
ber of deer killed in the United 
States last year is estimated at 
75,000 to 80,000. The number of elk 
killed is put at 2,000, or less, and of 
moose 3,050. 
They Always Succeed. 
There has never been an unsuc- 
cessful exposition west of the Rock- 
ies. The San Diego Exposition 
promises to be the most interesting 
and successful, considering the 
money outlay, ever held anywhere. 
Italy Also Has Two. 
Italy is holding two expositions 
simultaneously, one at Rome, and 
one at Turin. The precedent is 
merely being followed by San Fran- 
cisco and San Diego in holding two 
Panama Expositions the same year 
—1915.
