N the compilation of this Directory the aim has been to make it accurate and trustworthy in every particular. Special effort has been made to ascertain the correct house number, in cases where no number has been adopted by householders. This has been determined by consulting the official plans, prepared by the town engineer, upon which a number is given to every 25 feet of street frontage (except in the thickly settled districts, where a number is given to every 12} feet). Householders occupying a frontage of fifty feet have had the option of two numbers, and while the number given in this Directory in such cases may not conform strictly to the engineer's measurements, thie location has been determined as nearly as practicable and a number assigned that will conflict with no other householder. In this undertaking the publisher has had assistance from official sources, as indicated by the following :
IN BOARD OF SELECTMEN, Brookline, May 7th, 1894.
Voted, That the clerk be directed to co-operate with C. A. W. Spencer in establishing, for publication in his Brookline Directory, the house numbers on all streets of the town, in conformity with the numbering plans adopted by the Selectmen and on file in this office.
In this Directory the names of Householders (heads of families) are indicated by a special sign (*), thus adding materially to its value for reference. The number of householders so indicated is 2,911. The Directory embraces also the names-recorded in the proper alphabetical place - of citizens who have died or removed from the town during the year. The number of names in the Directory, including 375 dead or removed, is 6,219.
This work is distinctively a Brookline enterprise, and the publisher is grateful to those who have contributed so liberally to make it a permanent success.

BROOKLINE
BROOKLINE, originally a part of Boston and known in colonial times as the Muddy River Hamlet, was set off and incorporated as an independent township in 1705. The parent metropolis has reached out and absorbed the territory on either side of the town, so as nearly to surround it, Brookline being bounded on every side by Boston, except for a distance of about two and one-half miles around the westerly corner, where it is bordered by the city of Newton. It is about four and one-half miles long and an average of two miles wide, and contains 3,754 acres of land that is taxed. It is the most important town in Norfolk County, paying about one-third of the entire county taxes, and occupies a unique position from the fact that it is wholly isolated from other territory of the county-Boston being in Suffolk County and Newton being in Middlesex. Brookline enjoys the distinction of being the wealthiest town in the commonwealth, its total valuation being over $65,000,000. It is beautifully situated, and its easy accessibility to Boston, its numerous churches, its excellent schools, its superior water supply, its perfect system of sewerage and its well-kept streets, coupled with a popular form of town government and an unusually low rate of taxation, com- bine to make it an ideal place of residence, and for this it is chiefly distinguished, it having very few manufacturing industries. The Beacon- street Boulevard runs diagonally across the town, almost in a straight line from the State House in Boston to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Electric cars upon the boulevard, and the street-cars via Longwood and Huntington avenues, and over Tremont street, furnish convenient means of transportation, and the Boston and Albany railroad has five stations within the limits of the town - one, Cottage Farm, upon the main line, and four upon the Newton Circuit branch; namely, Longwood, Brook- line, Brookline Hills, and Reservoir. There is but one post-office in Brookline, the mail being delivered by carriers. It has a large and hand- some Town Hall, built of rose granite, at an expense of $250,000, its principal audience-room being capable of seating 1200. Its public library building cost $80,000, and contains upwards of 40,000 volumes. Full information as to the church organizations, the public schools, the present town officers, etc., will be found in another part of this Directory.
