Repr. Wm. R. Brooks of Beverly 
Farms and Rept. Wallis of Beverly put 
up a good fight for the new district court 
at Beverly, but despite their efforts the 
bill was voted down 79 to 41 at Tuesday’s 
session of the House. This came after 
a motion had been made to substitute the 
bill for the report of the committee on 
leave to withdraw. 
THe Financial Committee, of Man- 
chester, has certainly slashed things right 
and left this year, so to speak. While 
ticy recommend a total appropriation of 
some $160,0C€0, this amount is about 
$17,000 under that appropriated last year, 
and much under that called for this year. 
‘The committee is trying to economize, 
evidently. Economy is a good thing to 
practice, but in some. cases not the 
wisest. 
THE papers have had more or less to 
say of late about Senator James F. Shaw, 
and his probable election as president of 
the senate, were he returned to the 
State House at the election next fall. 
We are pleased to learn that, though 
Senator Shaw has served his logical term 
‘as Manchester's representative in the 
Senate, his G-oucester friends are so 
much pleased with the manner he _ has 
represented the district that it is doubtful 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
if he would find oppesition in that 
quarter next fall did he choose to run for 
a third year, especially if he stands such 
a good chance of being the next presi- 
dent of the senate. In that capacity 
Senator Shaw should certainly be in a 
position to give this district the very best 
service. 
THE Annual meeting of the Town of 
Manchester which begins on Monday _ is 
one of unusual importance; and in view 
of the large expenditures involved, and 
especially the important question of the 
extension of its water system, this im- 
portance begins at once in the choice and 
election of its town officers. A large at- 
tendance is expected and desired, called 
out especially to determine who are to 
direct the affairs of its Water C »mmis- 
sion and the important duties pertaining 
to that office. ‘There is a strong feeling 
in the town that‘it is important to’ begin 
rizht, and to that end to secure officials 
who are best fitted to adopt and carry out 
the proposed work of extending and in- 
creasing the water supply which is, or 
soon will be inadequate to the ever in- 
creasing. demand. Whether _ these 
officials are to be the present board or 
whether a change is to be desired or ob- 
tained, the votes on Monday will de- 
termine. 
No other candidates have appeared for 
any of the town offices than those men- 
tioned in these columns last week, with 
the exception of James Hoare, whose 
paper for water commissioner was filed 
Monday. There are three aspirants for 
‘the board of selectmen beside the pres- 
ent board, and there are two applicants 
each for the one and two year terms of 
the board of assessors. But F. K. Swett 
is the only candidate for the three year 
term. From what we have been able to 
see and hear the past week, we should 
judge that the present board of selectmen 
—F. K. Swett, E. S. Knight and W. 
R. Bell—will be re-elected, and that 
they will also be elected assessors for the 
various terms for which they are candi- 
dates. In view of the recommendations 
of the appropriation committee it would 
seem that it is the cheapest thing for the 
town to have the same men serve on both 
boards, and thus save the expense of 
having two off—ices,two sets of desks, etc., 
for the present year at least. 
As long as the present board is running 
for both offices it would be much cheaper 
in that way,to have the same men serve 
in both. It is feasible at any rate to have 
the same chairman for both boards, as it 
is best to keep the office open as it has 
been the past year. 
In a community like the North Shore 
it ought not to be necessary for us to state 
that the columns of this paper, are no 
open to the publication of news matte: 
aimed at a person as a vent to spite, or 
intended to be derogatory to one’s repute. 
When, in our judgment, we are justified 
in presenting our views on a person or 
cause, editorially, we are not afraid to 
do so; but we take that responsibility 
When on the other hand — 
somebody else wants us to word our 
ourselves. 
news matter in such a way that the real 
facts are cistorted and something deroga- 
tory of a person is printed instead, there 
is where we draw the line. 
And when a business man is so_nar- 
row-minded thathe ‘‘discontinues ”’ his 
advertisement simply because we will 
not lower ourselves, andthe standard of 
the paper to gratify his desires, we have to 
sit down and wonder what’s coming next. 
42 cents a week! Why didn’t we sell 
ourselves for that? We are pleased to 
state, to save any missapprehension, that 
Manchester does not harbor this particu- 
lar man. }
