IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY 
SPLENDID WorK REpoRTED AT MEET- 
ING HeLp WEDNESDAY 
Interesting reports were given at 
the meeting of the executive commit- 
tee of the Beverly Improvement so- 
ciety held Wednesday afternoon at 
the home of Mrs. Robert Stowe 
Bradley, at Pride’s Crossing, which 
was followed by a joint meeting with 
the Farms branch of the Improve- 
ment society and was brought to a 
close with a very delightful tea. 
For the executive committee meet- 
ing Mrs. Bradley presided most hap- 
pily, welcomed the members of the 
committee and spoke most encourag- 
ingly of the work of the Farms 
branch of the society. 
Mrs. Howard A. Doane, chairman 
of the Ward 6 branch, presided at the 
joint session at four o’clock. Rev. 
Clarence Strong Pond, the treasurer 
of the Farms branch, reported that 
$60 had been expended for trees and 
with the other expenditures the so- 
ciety had $250 in its treasury, a fine 
showing. 
Mrs. Franklin I. Preston gave a 
most interesting report as secretary 
of the Farms branch, in which she 
sketched the meetings of the year and 
the work accomplished. Through 
the efforts of Mrs. Bradley, Central 
Square was marked off with white 
lines as a protection to pedestrians 
and to regulate motor traffic. The 
Farms branch had the co-operation of 
the Beverly society in its campaign 
against the tent caterpillar. Farms 
boys destroyed 49,380 of these nests 
and the Beverly society paid them 
$49.35. The society paid for thirty- 
six trees on Haskell and Everett sts., 
the city furnishing the labor and 
through the kindness of George Cush- 
ing five large maple trees were added 
to the number set out. 
In the way of street cleaning the 
rubbish barrels were painted and 
placed about the Farms, Mrs. Brad- 
ley made arrangements with two of 
the Connolly brothers and D. Linehan 
& Son whereby each contractor pro- 
vided a man for the cleaning of the 
streets from Chapman’s corner to the 
Manchester line, one day each week. 
A committee was appointed to ar- 
range for an entrance from the play- 
ground from Hale st., and it was fi- 
nally decided to build a street directly 
from Hale street to Haskell street 
over the Bennett brook. 
The society offered $50 to the West 
beach corporation provided the cor- 
poration appropriated a like amount 
for the improvement of the grounds 
about the pavilion but the acceptance 
has not as yet been noted. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Splendid work has been done in the 
way of sidewalk improvements and 
the $2,500 appropriation completed 
the curbing and sidewalks on Hale 
street from Pride’s Crossing to the 
Pump cottage at the Farms, on Hart 
street to the cemetery, Haskell street 
from Hart to Everett and all of 
Everett street. 
Several social affairs were held in 
connection with the work during the 
year and the twelve months have been 
notable in the history of the society. 
A tea was served at the close of the 
meeting with Misses Frances and 
Rosamond Bradley, pouring.
