Walter L. Colby,
Son of Augustus G. and Abigail J. (Jefferds) Colby, was born at Saybrook, Conn., May 25, 1865, and was educated in the common and private schools of Saybrook, and at the English and Classical School, West Newton, Mass. At the age of sixteen he entered the employ of A. II. Pomeroy, scroll-saw supplies, Hartford, Conn, In 1882 he entered the employ of C, F. Hovey & Co., Boston. During the years 1886-88 he was teacher in the English and Classical School at West Newton, Mass. Dur- ing 1888-91 he was with Chandler & Co., Boston. In September, 1891, he bought out H. F. Paine's Men's Furnishing Goods Store, Everett, Mass., which he has since carried on. In 1892, he combined with this the real estate business, first as agent of Henry W. Savage, afterwards for himself, and still later in con- nection with A. E. Blanchard. Mr. Colby is a member of the A. L. of H., the Boston Congregational Superintendent's Union, of the Everett Y. M. C. A., and was for two years Superintendent of the Congregational Sunday School in Everett. He married, Sep- tember 16, 1889, Susie M. Riley, daughter of John and Agnes Riley, of West Newton, Mass. He resides at 69 Linden Street.
amid the incessant interruptions of business, in the midnight hours, and under a great variety of difficulties, has been an arduous though a pleasing one. The scope of the work has been greatly enlarged and includes many details not originally contemplated, which have more than doubled its size and cost, besides consuming much time. Hence, the issue of the publication, which was to have taken place in January, has been delayed until the present time.

Real Estate.
Among the many real estate dealers in Everett none are better known than the one whose cut appears above. Mr. Blanchard has established an enviable reputation for square dealing, both in the contracting and building department of his business, as well as in the brokerage part. In all his business dealings he makes friends, for the reason that they see at once that he is look- ing out for their interests.
While he may not have made great profits out of any one transaction, yet Mr. Blanchard asserts that he has made more in the long run by creat- ing -through those whom he has pleased - many new customers, which he thinks is better than the direct profit from a few dissatisfied ones. Mr. Blanchard, while doing business in connection with a former partner, built in Everett over 100 houses; also a number of large blocks, both wood and brick, - among other buildings, the Beacham Schoolhouse, in Everett.
Last October, Mr. Blanchard opened an office
at 230 Broadway, Everett, for the pur- pose of uniting more fully with his contract work, that of Real Es- tate Brokerage. lle united with him, in this branch, Mr. Walter L. Colby,-formerly man- ager of llenry W. Sav- age's Everett Branch Office of Real Estate, -who acts as his agent. Ile has also, since that time, made a special feature of INSURANCE. Ile places insurance in the leading companies, or will place your insur- ance where you may wish.

facilities for travel, improved streets and side- walks, and the many neat and handsome houses which are constantly in process of erection,
there will be much in the future to attract and draw people to our new city.
Mr. Blanchard bought, last fall, within three minutes' walk of Everett Square, probably the finest piece of building land (containing between 30 and 40 house-lots) that there is in Everett.
This land will be sold in lots, and on terms to suit. Ile will furnish money to build, if desired, or will build from your own plan, or sell you one of the numerous houses already erected. The most liberal terms will be made, (or he will sell on the instalment plan, if desired). A very fine class of houses is now in process of erection, and those who come early will secure the best.
Mr. Blanchard, with his team, will meet cus- tomers at any time, and most cheerfully show you houses built by himself, or any desirable property that may be in the market. Either he or Mr. Colby are always glad to show property, whether the customers decide to pur- chase or not.

HENDERSON BROS., Builders and Real Estate Dealers.
No firm has striven with greater zeal during the time since its estab- lishment to bring to the front that branch of indus- try in which it labors, than the house of Henderson Brothers, and they have been rewarded, for to-day they occupy a leading posi- tion in the building trade of Everett, and have acquired a fame for the reliable and substantial manner in which they fulfil their contracts. As contractors and builders the Messrs. Henderson Brothers have had much to do with the advancement of the interests of this city, and can justly clnim a large share of credit in bringing Everett to its present state of prosperity, as during the twenty years they have been established they have built over seven hundred houses and business blocks. The finest brick block in the city, at the corner of Main and Oak Streets, is
owned and was built by them. They built and own two hundred houses in what is known as Hendersonville, where they put into operation a water plant, having driven seven artesian wells,

from which a reservoir is filled with water that has been shown by analysis to be of an excellent quality. They handle all their own real estate, and any one desiring to build, buy or rent, can
make satisfactory arrangements with this reliable house. They own a large saw and planing mill, making their own doors, window frames, etc., and give employment to about eighty-five men. In addition to the business just described, they are pre- pared to place insurance with reliable companies at satisfactory rates, and all business placed in their hands will receive prompt and proper attention. Jas. and John D. Henderson are the individual members of the firm, whose office and factory are located on Haw- thorn Street. Mr. John D. Henderson is a very busy individual. He has, to a certain extent, always been interested in the affairs of the town, for he served two years on the Board of Selectmen, one year as its Chairman. At the city election of 1892 he was elected an Alderman for two years. During the past year they have erected a large brick block, on West Street, containing twelve tenements, besides a store in basement.

APPENDIX. FINANCIAL SUMMARY.
The net town debt is only a little more than two per cent. of our estimated valuation of $12,000,000.
The gross total debt, including Water, Janu- ary I, 1893, was $406,975.00.
Nearly all of this debt was incurred for pub- lic works of permanent value and high utility. The City held, January 1, 1893, against these liabilities, (leaving out of the account cash, in the treasury and sundry items of personal property, estimated at $23,065), the following assets :-
Real Estate, Valued at $205,085.00
Sinking Funds 23, 112.05
Uncollected Taxes 76,275.47
Sewer Assessments due 7,382.47
Water Works Estimated I 50,000.00
Total, $561,854.99
Until 1890, appropriations for the sinking fund had been made in a lump, without speci- fying how much was for the water, and how much for the town debt. At a town meeting, November, 6, 1890, the sinking funds were apportioned, and $31,500 set apart for the water debt and the balance reserved for the town debt. Since this time the different sinking funds have been kept separate. The income from the water works provides for the water debt sinking fund, besides paying the interest on the water bonds, which in 1891 and 1892 were refunded at four per cent, except so far as paid by the sinking fund. The receipts from bank and corporation taxes, and the tax on foreign shipping, have, since 1891, been devoted to the town debt sinking fund.
Within the past five years of its history the town expended the following sums for improve- ments of a permanent character : -
Sewerage $107,675.00
Water Works, about

APPENDIX.
SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL DATA.
A large proportion of the residents, of Everett, are engaged in business in Boston. The valu- ation of the town, May 1, 1892, was $9,934,300; $9,403,200 real estate and $531,100 personal property. Of the real estate, the value of buildings represented $5,362,100, and land $4,041,100. The valuation fixed by the assess- ors is generally below the true market value, and the true valuation of the real and personal estate of the city, at the present time, is undoubtedly upwards of $12,000,000. The number of persons assessed, May 1, 1892, was 5,568, of whom 2,543 (including 664 non- residents) were assessed for property, and 3,025 a poll tax only. Of the total population of 11,068, in 1890, 8,156 were native born and 2,912 of foreign birth. The total number of dwellings, according to the census of 1890, was 2,101 ; the number of families, 2,561 ; the aver- age number of persons to a dwelling, 5.27; and the average number of persons to a family, 4.32. The number of building permits (includ- ing alterations) issued during the last three years, and the estimated value of the buildings and alterations, covered by these permits, has been as follows :-
No. of Permits.
Estimated Value of the Work.
1890
342 $625,693.00
1891
433 709,330.00
1892 4.50 838,320.00
It may be remarked, that these estimates of value are usually excessive.
POLICE.
Prior to 1876 police service had been some- what intermittent, the population being small, nearly homogeneous, and for the most part law abiding. In 1876 a regular night watch was established, consisting of three men, which has never been interrupted for any great length of time since. The first appropriation made by the town specifically for police service was $500 in 1877-78. In 1884 a day police was established. The annual appropriation for this department had grown, in 1892, to $8,000, and the amount recommended for 1893 is $11,400. The Chief of Police is and for several years has been Samuel M. Emerton, who has been connected with the force for about fifteen years. The total force now employed consists of the chief, one captain, one sergeant, and seven patrolmen, one being on duty during the day.
