BRADLEY 
entertained the Beverly Farms Improvement Society 
RS. ROBERT 5. 
at her home Tuesday afternoon. There was a large 
attendance, and the reports given by the secretary, Mrs. 
A. B. Preston, and the treasurer, Rev. Clarence S. Pond, 
were of general interest, many of the summer colony 
belonging to the society. Mrs. Howard A. Doane pre- 
sided. Mrs. Preston gave a resume of the year’s work 
in pee Farms and Mrs. Bradley told of the wonderful 
work of the Women’s Municipal League in Boston. She 
dwelt in particular upon the enormous amount of litera- 
ture that has been distributed in the past year on the 
extermination of flies and rats and mice. She explained 
fully the new scientific discovery, Danysz Virus, used in 
their extermination so successfully in Europe and now 
being tried here. Mrs. Preston’s report of the year’s 
work was as follows: 
“We raised over $120 for the Beverly Hospital deficit 
by what was known as the Free Donation Fund. The 
Playground Committee sent a petition to the city govern- 
ment asking that they consider the advisability of building 
a new road into the playground from Hale street. In the 
budget for.this year we requested the city government, 
first, that the appropriation as in other years for the con- 
struction of new sidewalks in Beverly Farms be con- 
tinued; that the public sanitary at the playground, for 
which an appr OUg iation of $500 was asked last year, be 
appropriated this year and that the building be constructed 
before the summer vacation; that the white auto lines at 
Central Square be kept in good condition this year by 
whitewashing whenever necessary and that all other dan- 
gerous corners in Beverly Farms be systematically sa oe 
off with white lines; that the street cleaning policy of th 
street department relative to the highways be atone 
this year; that the police department be instructed to place 
a policeman on duty at Central Square at hours to be 
determined by the department from June 1 to Sept. 30; 
that $200 be appropriated this year and each succeeding 
year for a number of years, for the planting of shade trees 
along the highways. It was suggested that this be carried 
along in connection with the construction of new side- 
walks. Third, we suggested and interested the citizens of 
Beverly Farms in a municipal Christmas tree. This was 
held on Christmas eve in Marshall’s field and was a great 
success. Fourth, We provided twenty-nine tree protec- 
tors at 80 cents each to protect all the trees in the village 
which were being destroyed by horses chewing them. 
Fifth, we replz iced thirteen sugar maples which had died 
this year at an expense of $39. Last year, through the 
generosity of Mr. George Cushing, five large maple trees 
were planted here, and for his generosity he was made an 
honorary member of the society. Sixth, we appointed a 
Appointments by telephone Magnolia 8500 
street sign committee which conferred with Mr. Blackmer 
with reg gard to the placing of signs at either end of our 
streets. The result was that twenty street signs which 
the city has had for Beverly Farms for a number of years 
were put in place. Seventh, as many people were in favor 
ut a public dumping ground for Beverly Farms a commit- 
tee was appointed to investigate the matter. Eighth, we 
petitioned the city government to plant shade trees on 
either side of Vine street during the construction of the 
new sidewalks there. This has been granted. Ninth, we 
have asked the city government to save, if possible, the 
two large ash trees in front of the Marshall property on 
Hart street, when the street is widened at that point. 
Tenth, the rubbish barrels were washed and placed about 
the village this spring. Eleventh, the Beverly Improve- 
ment Society offered $50 to the school children of ward 
6 for collecting and destroying the tent caterpillar nest~. 
Fight thousand three hundred and ninety-five were col- 
lected, making a total amount of $8.39. Twelfth, an open 
uieeting of the society was held in G. A. R. hall on April 
29. Several members of the city government were pres- 
ent. The object of the meeting was to discuss public 
improvements for ward 6 for the coming year. The 
most important of these was the construction of new 
sidewalks, the widening of Hart street between Haskell 
street and Nolan’s house, and the construction of a public 
sanitary at the Beverly Farms playground. Thirteenth, 
during “Clean-up Week” the city carts took away ten 
cart-loads of rubbish from ward 6. Fourteenth, during 
the year we had two talks. In the fall Miss L. Loring 
spoke to us most interestingly of the Red Cross work now 
being carried on in Massachusetts in aid of the European 
sufferers, and this spring Miss Baker spoke to us about 
the children’s garden contest. The object of her talk was 
to enlist and interest as many of the Beverly Farms chil- 
dren as possible in the work. Fiftenth, at the June meet- 
ing we voted to carry out the same policy relative to the 
street cleaning as last year if Mr. Connolly and Mr. 
TAnehan would help us.” 
Tea was served at the close of the meeting, Mrs. 
George Cushing and Mrs. Henry Mason puring. Miss 
Florence Leach of Manchester provided the only enter- 
tainment of the afternoon by singing sweetly an Irish 
love ballad. 
OP ROE Le 
One of the most attractive linen shops in Magnolia 
this year is that of Walpole Bros. of New York and Lon- 
don. Their factory is located in Waringstown, Ireland, 
and they sell the product of their looms direct to the con- 
sumer; therefore their prices are very reasonable for the 
quality of merchandise sold. They specialize in trous- 
seaux, and their monogram work is the finest procurable.
