side of the Narrows, is being grad- 
ually washed away by the severe 
storms that visit Conomo every win- 
ter. Hight feet of the lawn in front 
of the fine residence of Harry B. 
Jackson was carried away last win- 
ter. The town of Essex should take 
some means of preventing this great 
damage to the valuable shore prop- 
erty at Conomo. A sea wall built 
along this section of the water front 
would in years to come save what 
is a big asset to the town.
