IN the compilation of this Directory -the second in the series -the plan adopted last year has been generally followed, but a desire to enchance the value of the book for reference has prompted the intro- duction of several additional features. The List of Streets is arranged to show, under each title, the relative location of all intersecting streets ; and appended to the alphabetical directory of residents will be found a Street List of Householders-this being a reprint of the specially starred names in the general directory, arranged in the order of the house num- bers on each street.
The official house numbers assigned by the town engineer to every 25 feet of street frontage (except in the thickly settled districts, where a number is given to every 12} feet), are given in connection with the names of residents, whether appearing upon the buildings on not. The Directory may thus be taken as a guide by householders who may hereaf- ter determine to adopt numbers, and at the same time will indicate to strangers the relative location of. a house, even where street numbers are entirely wanting.
The total number of names in the Directory is 6576, which includes the names of 274 persons who have died or removed from the town during the year. Out of the total names recorded, about 3000 are householders (heads of families) and are thus indicated by a special star (*).

SPENCER'S Brookline Directory FOR 1895-6.
It is a Directory FOR Brookline, supported by business men of Brook- line, and printed and published in Brookline-distinctively a Brook- line enterprise.
It gives the HOUSE NUMBERS of residences on all streets embraced in the official Numbering Plans of the town, and affords the only means of ascertaining the correct numbers, outside the Town Hall.
It indicates the names of householders by its own original method in the general directory, and groups them in the order of residence, in a " Street List of Householders."
It contains many original features, including an historical sketch of Brookline, a concise statement of the town's financial condition, the wealth and population of the Metropolitan district, and the town's vote in local and state elections.
It contains the ONLY complete list of Streets (public and private), the locations of which are indicated by the official street numbers.
It contains the latest list of Blocks, Buildings and Halls, published in connection with official street numbers.
It contains the only authentic list of Names of Private Estates. It contains illustrations of churches and public buildings.

BROOKLINE.
BROOKLINE, as an independent township, is 190 years old, having been set off from Boston and incorporated in 1705. The " Greater Boston," in its extensions of territory, has so nearly surrounded Brookline as to leave but a boundary of two and a half miles around the westerly corner, where it is touched by the city of Newton. The town is about four and a half miles long and an average of two miles wide, and contains 4,358 acres, about 3,750 acres being taxable. Brookline is in Norfolk County, and is the first municipality of the county in wealth and the second in population. It is also the wealthiest town in the Commonwealth, its as- sessed valuation being over $68,000,000, with a population of 16,159. It is isolated from the rest of the county, being bounded on three sides by Suffolk County (Boston), and on the rest of its border by Middlesex County (Newton). Its cross-town thoroughfares extend from Boston to Boston, from which city it is not more than a mile distant at any point. It is traversed by the Boston and Albany railroad, which has five stations within the town; by electric cars upon the Beacon-street Boulevard, run- ning from Boston to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir; by extensions of the Huntington-avenue system, over Washington street to the Reservoir and over Boylston and Cypress streets to Chestnut street; and by transfer connection with the Tremont-street line at Roxbury. Its accessibility to the metropolis of New England has made Brookline the favorite place of residence for wealthy Bostonians, for whom it has peculiar attractions from its low rate of taxation, the superiority of its schools, the number and beauty of its churches, its pure and limitless water supply, its well- shaded and well kept streets, its perfect sewerage, its abundance of room, and especially its popular form of town government, in which every legally qualified citizen has a voice. There are few crowded streets ; most of the residences are surrounded by ample grounds, thus insuring the best natural protection to the public health, and the death- rate is consequently low. The public buildings are of modern style, the Town Hall being of rose granite, built at a cost of $250,000, and hav- ing a seating capacity of 1200. The Public Library building cost $80,000 and contains upwards of 42,000 volumes. A new High School building has just been erected in the residence center of the town, at a cost of $250,000, and is an enduring manifestation of the educational spirit that controls this splendid municipality.
