Great Improvements; Committee 
of Summer Residents Report. 
Much has been done in the cause 
of good roads along the North Shore 
within the past two years by pri- 
vate enterprise. How much, ‘is 
shown in detail in the report that 
has just been issued by the com- 
mittee of subscribers, consisting of 
Oliver Ames, Charles H. Taylor and 
Colonel William D. Sohier, which 
has charge of the administration 
and expenditure of the  subscrip- 
tions, amounting to nearly $50,000 
which have been made for good road 
work, principally by summer resi- 
dents. 
The work has been in the city of 
Beverly and the towns of Wenham, 
Manchester, Hamilton and Essex, 
and exclusive of appropriations by 
the state highway -commission, the 
municipalities and the county, the 
committee has expended a total of

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
$44,259.59. This has been on state 
highway, city and town roads and 
streets and upon wood roads. 
The most extensive undertaking 
of the committee was the construc- 
tion of the Beverly shore road as a 
state highway for about four miles. 
The committee paid two-thirds the 
expense of this road, its share 
amounting to $26,919.13. The city 
of Beverly paid nearly as large an 
amount in relaying water pipes. 
Most of the state highway was open. 
for travel in June, 1905, and the 
whole of it was in use on June 1, 
1906. Incidentally the committee 
secured many improvements, in- 
cluding the removal of the ledge on 
the corner of the Mingo Beach hill. 
The committee also repaired Com- 
mon Lane, Greenwood avenue and 
Thissell street. 
With the assistance of William 
H. Moore, Grapevine road was re- 
built and the city of Beverly assist- 
ed in rebuilding Brimbal avenue. 
Other work was done on Boyle and 
Standley streets and on the Essex- 
Manchester road. The committee 
notes the effect of automobiles on 
the macadam roads as_ follows: 
“You must have all noticed that the 
automobiles are tearing up and 
pulling off the top surface of our 
new state highway. In some places 
this is true where the road was 
built this year. It is especially true 
on the corners, where the machines 
going fast tend to skid. Heavy ma- 
chines, going at a high rate of speed, 
practically pull up the road sur- 
facing. It is only a week or two 
after the stones are uncovered be- 
fore the smaller and then the larger 
stones are lifted, the road begins to 
ravel, the bond is broken and large 
holes form. What the remedy is no 
one knows as_ yet, if automobiles 
continue to run as fast. At 20 or 
25 miles an hour the opinion of sev- 
eral experts is that comparatively 
little damage is done.” 
To prevent the wearing of the 
highways and to lay the dust the 
committee 1s experimenting with 
calcium chloride and with oil. 
The report .also includes a state- 
ment in detail of what has been 
done in building and_ repairing 
wood roads and in suppression of 
the gypsy moths. There are now 
over 12 miles of private wood roads 
built by subscription and Colonel 
William D. Sohier, who has charge 
of this branch of road work, is mak- 
ing plans for other similar roads in 
Beverly, Beverly Farms, Essex, 
Manchester and Gloucester. The re- 
port concludes with an _ itemized 
financial statement showing the re- 
ceipts and expenditures of the com- 
mittee:tO Sept. 4, 1Oou.
