The Essex County club is proving 
quite a popular place for North 
Shore people who come to the shore 
before opening their cottages for the 
season. The club is to be run this 
year under the management of the 
house committee who have secured 
William G. Foster as steward and 
manager. The committee hopes that 
the members will use the club more 
than ever for lunches and dinners. 
The club is to be kept open the year 
round. It is the plan of the com- 
mittee to serve good and simple food 
rather than fancy cooking.

Work is being rushed at the Sid- 
ney E. Hutchinson estate at Beverly 
Farms so as to have it completed 
and ready for occupancy by the first 
of June. Mr: Hutchinson and family 
have been in Europe for a short trip, 
but they are now on the water and 
will come to the North Shore within 
a week. The sea wall being built 
along West Beach in front of the 
Hutchinson estate is one of the finest 
pieces of work of this kind along 
the North Shore. It is a granite wall 
300 feet long. It is built of heavy 
Roekport block stone, eut in Ashler 
courses and is reinforced with con- 
crete. The wall is capped with 
Chelmsford granite. Separating the 
property from the West Beach Cor- 
poration property is a high wall of 
rubble masonry with Seotech coping 
on the top. Another wall four feet 
high will run along in front of the 
property on the street side. All of 
this work is being done by D. Line- 
han & Son.
