WE understand that the Boston & 
Northern is looking around in Manches- 
ter for suitable location for building a 
power plant. While there is plenty 
room at the location of the present dis- 
tributing station, so conveniently situated 
alongside the railroad, and giving easy 
access for the delivery of coal which 
would be an essential feature in case a 
power plant were established, would it 
not be well, might we — suggest, 
sarcasmo, to build the plant in a location 
which will be conveniently near the car 
barn, which will be built sooner or later 
for the Manchester extention of the elec- 
sine 
tric car line? 
Ir is said that a petition from the citi- 
zens of the Cove will be presented for 
the insertion of an article in the annual 
warrant calling for the re-opening of the 
old road between Manchester Cove and 
Manchester. Presumably, if this is so, 
it will be in the particular interests of a 
citizen who has recently built a house 
off this road. We question whether the 
county commissioners would open up this 
road again. The road is part of the 
old county road running between Salem 
and Gloucester and was practically dis- 
carded over 100 years ago, when the 
present road, by the Dana property was 
opened up. It is a question, too, 
whether the railroad commissioners 
would permit a grade crossing at this 
point.

James Beaton of Manchester * brought 
into the office a few days ago a copy of 
the Essex Register (Salem) of April 19, 
1830, which has been in the possession 
of his sister at Gloucester for some years. 
Aside from the usual interest attached 
to an old paper in point of age, etc., this 
particular issue has an advertisement, 
which calls to mind the fact ‘that Man- 
chester was at one time the home of the 
manufactory of fire engines. Following 
is the advertisement referred to: 
‘‘Fire Encines.—For Sale, by the sub- 
scriber in Manchester, on the most reas- 
onable terms, two fire engines, with cop- 
per tubs capable of containing 125 gallons, 
and cast iron water ways, built in the best 
manner, and handsomely ornamented. 
They are constructed on the principle of 
the Boston built engines. Persons wish- 
ing to purchase, are invited to call and ex- 
amine these engines. 
‘EBENEZER TAPPAN, JR.,”” 
‘Manchester, March 29, 1830.’’ 
According to Lamson’s History of 
Manchester Col. Eben Tappan began 
building fire engines in 1826 ‘‘ without 
a previous knowledge of foundry work 
or special instruction in mechanics.’’ 
In 1832 he built the ‘‘ Torrent’’ a suc- 
tion engine, which was used in the great 
fire of 1836, and was afterward bought 
by the town. ‘‘ This engine did good 
service until laid up in ordinary, in 1885, 
a period of 53 years, a most remarkable 
record.”’ 
The Salem Dat/y Telegraph i June 6, 
1888, in commenting on this subject 
said: 
“The plans were entirely his own 
models and patterns. The village black- 
smith did the iron work under Mr. 
Tappan’s immediate supervision. “The 
brasswork came to Mr. Tappan from a 
Boston foundry in the rough, and Mr. 
Tappan’s own hand finished and fitted 
it. He also did all the work of the 
coppersmith. In short, with the aid 
alone of the blacksmith, to whom refer- 
ence is made above, the engines from 
Mr. Tappan’s hands were the result of 
his own unaided skill and industry.’’

Framingham has led Natick in the in- 
auguration of a custom which should be- 
come a fixture there and in every muni- 
cipality. New Years’s day the teachers 
of the high school held a reception to 
which the parents of the pupils of the 
school were invited. Formalities were 
dispensed with and the two elements 
most important for shaping the careers 
and principles of the children were 
brought close together. “The result of 
an exchange of ideas and the discussion 
of methods looking toward a better un 
derstanding cannot fail to be for the 
greater cooperation of parents and teach 
ers. The innovation is a commendable 
one and should be adopted in Natick. 
The Natick Review. 
Several prominent Beverly men in 
conversation the other evening were dis 
cussing various matters, and among them 
the question of the starting of an Elderly 
Brethren association was mentioned. 
A society of this kind has been ine 
istence for a long time in Manchester 
and the annual reunions and dinners are 
especially interesting features. 
A man who has lived in Beverly for 
fifty years would be eligible and it was 
suggested by one of the gentlemen, that 
there were many such in the city, no 
only native born Beverlyites but of citi- 
zens who had made their home here for 
a half century. 4 
This suggestion as it came up is 
thrown out to the citizens of the city 
and if sufficient interest is taken in the 
project there seems to be no reason why 
a most successful organization should no 
be formed in Beverly. raat gi! Evenin,
