On all sides the past week; |

would boil in good shape in the remain-

the best man doesn’t always win. 
REMEMBER, too, that the election of 
town officers is not the only thing to be 
thought of. Just glance over the long 
list of articles in the warrant this year, — 
72 articles—calling for an expenditure of 
thousands of dollars. Vhe list is on 
page 15 of this issue. 
Because Article 21 of the town war- 
rant has to do with a dead subject, there 
is no reason why there should not be a 
lively discussion on the matter. If we 
needa new receiving tomb at the ceme- 
tery, why let's have one; there’s no 
knowing how soon we'll haveto make 
use of it, personally. The article really 
should have been numbered ‘‘23.”’ 
Bur then, Article 23 is rightly num- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
bered! It has to do with street lights. 
Further along in the warrant there is an 
article to this effect: ‘‘To see what 
action the town will take regarding the 
option it has of purchasing the Manches- 
ter Electric Co., said option expiring 
Sept. 18, 1908.’’ Why not take advant- 
age of this option, purchase the plant, 
and have up-to-date lights? Seriously 
speaking, however, it would seem that 
the town is not in a position to take ad- 
vantage of this option this year, especial- 
ly if the additional water project goes 
through, and it would seem a feasible 
plan to have a committee appointed to 
wait on the company to have time limit 
extended if possible. 
AN article will appear in the town 
warrant this year calling for a name to 
designate the Beach Street park, so- 
called. “Town Treasurer Stanley some 
time ago suggested Marine Park as a 
most suitable name. But we 
like to suggest something which appears 
A year or 
two ago a move was made at a gathering 
of the Elder Brethren to have a large 
boulder placed in a public place in town 
and dedicated to the memory of the old 
Indian Chief Masconomo. The park 
off Beach street was suggested as a most 
suitable place to put such a_ boulder. 
Now why wouldn’t this be a good place 
to put the boulder and have the park 
named Masconomo Park?

opened in Philadelphia, will be the first

New Candidates for Town Office.

For Water Commissioner. 
One of the most interesting fights of | 
the year is that for water commissioner. 
N. P. Meldrum, clerk of the board, is a 
candidate for another term (three years) — 
and George E. Hildreth is in the field 
against him. Much pressure has been 
brougbt to bear also on James Hoare. 
Last week we stated that Mr. Hoare 
would probably run, but he has taken the 
position through it al] that he would not —
