is very irregular in shape, as a glance at the map will show. Outside of Suffolk (Boston) this is the largest county in the State in point of population, and has within its borders more cities than any other county. The Boston & Maine, with its various lines, the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R., and the Boston & Albany Division of the New York Central & Hudson River R. R. cover the county as with a network, so that hardly a town is without one or more roads passing through it. There is a great deal of excellent farming land, and the greenhouse and market gardening industries reach large proportions. The manufacturing es- tablishments are the most extensive in the State, and furnish employment to many thou- sands of the inhabitants. Cambridge (East) and Lowell are the county seats, and in each are a court house and jail. A county truant school is located at North Chelmsford. The registry of deeds for the Northern District is at Lowell, and embraces the towns of Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell, Tewksbury, Tyngsboro, Westford and Wilming- ton. The Southern District registry is at Cam- bridge and serves the towns of Acton, Arling- ton, Ashby, Ashland, Ayer, Bedford, Belmont, Boxboro, Burlington, Cambridge, Concord, Ev- erett, Framingham, Groton, Holliston, Hopkin- ton, Hudson, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Mal- den, Marlboro, .Maynard, Medford, Melrose, Natick, Newton, North Reading, Pepperell, Reading, Sherborn, Shirley, Somerville, Stone- ham, Stow, Sudbury, Townsend, Wakefield, Waltham, Watertown, Wayland, Weston, Win- chester and Woburn.

Situated in the southeastern part of the State, having a sea-coast on Massachusetts Bay on the east, another on Buzzards Bay at the south, and a smaller extent on Boston Harbor. Its extreme length from north to south is 47 miles, with an average breadth of 20 miles. The Plymouth Division of the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford R. R. penetrates every town in the county except Pembroke and Norwell. The surface is level and there are no rivers of note, though nu- merous lakes and ponds break the monotony. Much of the district is still heavily wooded. The soil is light and sandy and inferior for cultiva- tion. Cranberries and small fruits are extensive- ly raised. Manufacturing is the chief industry. Plymouth being a part of the original Plymouth Colony, its history dates from the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620. The town of Plymouth is much resorted to by sight-seers, and has valua- ble collections of historical articles. It is the county seat. The population of the county by U. S. census of 1900, 113,985; State census 1905, 127,932. Area, 704 square miles. Valuation 1906, $98,380,189.

SUFFOLK COUNTY.
Incorporated May 10, 1643. Comprises 2 towns and 2 cities:
BOSTON CHELSEA
Revere Winthrop
Originally the county included the towns of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, 'Dedham, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham and Hull. It now includes only the cities of Boston and Chelsea, and the towns of Revere and Winthrop, as before stated. Boston is the court town, and the City Treasurer of Boston acts also as Treasurer of the county, while the Board of Aldermen are the County Com- missioners, though the towns of Revere and Win- throp are placed under the jurisdiction of the commissioners of Middlesex County. The State and county courts are held in the fine building in Pemberton Square. The United States Cir- cuit and District Courts are held in the Federal Building in the square bounded by Devonshire, Water, Congress and Milk Streets. Boston, besides being the capital of the State, abounds in buildings and places of historic interest too numerous to mention here. The remodeled State House on Beacon Street, with its extensive ad- ditions, is admirably adapted for its purpose, and is the pride not only of the citizens of Bos- ton, but of the Commonwealth. Few places in the country can boast of handsomer or more costly public and mercantile buildings, and the city is certainly foremost in the number of re- ligious, educational, philanthropic and charita- ble institutions devoted to the interests of the people. The railroads entering Boston are cen- tered in two stations, the various lines of the Boston & Maine R. R. using the Union Station, or North Station, as it is sometimes designated, on Causeway Street, and the New York, New
Haven & Hartford lines and the Boston & Al- bany Division of the New York Central & Hud- son River R. R. using the South Station, or South Terminal, at Dewey Square, junction Summer and Federal Streets and Atlantic Av- enue. The two stations are about one mile apart, and are connected by the elevated and surface street railways, as are also the various wharves of coastwise steamship lines. Ocean- going steamers depart from wharves at Charles- town, also at East Boston, which is reached by ferry lines and the East Boston tunnel from Bos- ton proper. The Suffolk County truant school is at West Roxbury. The population of Suffolk County by the U. S. census of 1900, 611,417; State census 1905, 652,362. Area, 48 square miles. Valuation 1906, $1,338,295,509.
County Commissioners-In the city of Boston the Board of Aldermen have all the powers and duties of County Commissioners, except in re- lation to trials by jury and recovery of damages in such trials, in cases of laying out and dis- continuing highways, and appeals from assess- ors for abatement of taxes
Treasurer-Charles H. Slattery (D) $800 as county treasurer; also treasurer of the city of Boston
County Auditor-J. Alfred Mitchell (R) $800 as county auditor; also auditor of the city of Boston
Register of Deeds-Wm. T. A. Fitzgerald (D) $5500, Jan. 1912. Assistant Register, Chas. W. Kimball $3000
Sheriff-Elected triennially. Fred H. Seavey (R) Boston, $3000, Jan. 1911; office, Court House, Pemberton Square SPECIAL SHERIFF-John F. Kelly

Occupying the middle section of the State, it extends from Vermont and New Hampshire on the north to Connecticut and Rhode Island on the south; it touches Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden Counties on the west, and Middlesex and Norfolk on the east. The surface of the land is undulating and in many parts broken. Mt. Wachusett in Princeton is the highest ele- vation, 2018 feet; it has been purchased and set apart as a State reservation. The Nashua River drains the northeastern, the Blackstone the southeastern, the French and Quinebaug flowing into the Thames, and the Chicopee flow- ing into the Connecticut, the southwestern and middle west; while the Miller's River drains the northwestern section. These streams fur- nish a vast amount of motive power, which is used for manufacturing purposes. The largest lakes are Quinsigamond in Worcester and Shrewsbury, and the Wachusett Reservoir in the towns of Clinton, Boylston and West Boyl- ston, though there are numerous smaller ponds and reservoirs used largely for storage purposes. In the variety and extent of its manufactures, Worcester County stands near the head, not only in Massachusetts, but the Union, at the same time being one of the richest agricultural coun- ties in the State, and in fact one of the richest in the United States in value of products raised. The Boston & Maine, the New York, New Haven & Hartford, and the Boston & Albany Division of the New York Central & Hudson River R. R. make accessible nearly every town in the county, and the larger places are . con- nected by electric street railways. Worcester and Fitchburg are the county seats, and each has a court house and jail. A county truant school is located in Oakdale in the town of West Boylston. The registry of deeds for the Northern District is at Fitchburg, and includes the towns of Ashburnham, Fitchburg, Leom- inster, Lunenburg and Westminster; the Wor- cester District includes the towns of Athol, Au- burn, Barre, Berlin, Blackstone, Bolton, Boyl- ston, Brookfield, Charlton, Clinton, Dana, Doug- las, Dudley, Gardner, Grafton, Hardwick, Har- vard, Holden, Hopedale, Hubbardston, Lan- caster, Leicester, Mendon, Milford, Millbury, New Braintree, Northboro, Northbridge, North Brookfield, Oakham, Oxford, Paxton, Petersham, Phillipston, Princeton, Royalston, Rutland, Shrewsbury, Southboro, Southbridge, Spencer,
