... Up and Down the North Shore... 
Last week’s real estate transfers 
records that of the Henry D. Stillman 
estate at Fast Wenham, known as the 
J. K. Dodge Farms, to Henry P. Mc- 
Kean, Jr. The property consists of.a 
large acreage of land, a large farm 
house, barn, cottage and other build- 
ings. Mr. McKean buys for a coun- 
try home, and will have for neighbors, 
the F. H. Princes, Wm. Gordon 
Means, Quincy A. Shaw, 2nd, and 
Louis A. Shaw. The marriage of Mr. 
McKean and Miss Elizabeth Lee will 
take place this summer.

An important real estate deal was 
consumated in Manchester last night 
by which Perkins & Corliss, the gar- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
rage men, become the owners of the 
Frank W. Bell property on Beach 
street. The property has a frontage 
on Beach street of about 75 feet, and 
extends back to the Congregational 
parsonage. The Manchester club build- 
ing owned by Mrs. G. W. Blaisdell 
bounds the property on one side and 
the Perkins & Corliss garage proper- 
ty, owned by Arthur S. Dow, is on 
the other. Perkins & Corliss have no 
definite plans for the future develop- 
ment of the property, though they 
probably will put it to some available 
use, as the property is among the 
most valuable in the center of the 
town. Bell’s store will remain as it 
is. 
The public will please take notice 
that Harbor street, West Manchester, 
will be closed to travel FROM SAT- 
URDAY NIGHT UNTIL MON- 
DAY MORNING, while a new bridge 
is being built over the Boston & 
Maine tracks. Carriages going be- 
yond the bridge will take the Board- 
man avenue from Bridge street. Pe- 
destrians desiring to reach the rail- 
road station may take the foot pas- 
sage leading by the bridge to the 
tracks.

The work of laying a water main 
on Norwood avenue, from a point 
near the Daniel Sheehan property to 
Vine street, and then on to Lincoln 
street, is nearly completed,—except 
laying the pipe across Cat Brook. 
The pipe will run under the brook. 
The committee on new almshouse 
went to Natick Wednesday to visit 
the up-to-date Town Home there. This 
is considered one of the model insti- 
tutions in the country and has _ re- 
ceived medals and diplomas for its 
high standing. The committee has 
now completed its visits and will have 
plans prepared. 
The adjourned Town Meet- 
ing held Monday evening was of short 
duration, lasting less than ten minutes. 
The committee on new Town hall 
asked to change the working of the 
motion passed at a recent meeting so 
that the word “competitive” is left 
out of the motion. Instead of read- 
ing “call for competitive bids” it will 
read “call for bids.” It was stated at 
the meeting that the matter of dredg- 
ing was not yet ready to report on. 
A special Town Meeting will be 
called for some date in the very near 
future, as there are several matters 
of importanc that must be acted upon. 
The board of. selectmen at their 
meeting ‘Tuesday night withdrew the 
junk license issued to Richard J. Ba- 
ker, at Mr. Baker’s request. This 
leaves only two licenses outstanding. 
A hearing will be given on other li- 
censes, it is probable. The board 
granted a license to C. E. Bell to con- 
duct a bowling alley on Beach street.
