Vol. VI. No. 10 MANCHESTER, MASS., SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1908. 28 Pages Three Cents. 
¢ ANNUAL TOWN MEETING AT MANCHESTER 
Economy was the keynote of the an- 
nual town meeting in Manchester on 
Monday and Tuesday of the past week. 
Curtailments were in order all along the 
line. Though a total of $169,553.76 
was appropriated, all sums were» voted 
with an eye toward economy. 
The election Monday afternoon had 
many surprises. First of all former 
Chairman Swett of the Board of Select- 
men, who was looked to as an easy 
winner, lost the election by seven votes. 
While many expected George L. Allen 
would win out, few thought Mr. Swett 
would be the losing man. 
It is very evident, now that the election 
is over, that Mr. Swett lost, not through 
any concerted movement to throw him 
down, but through the over confidence 
of the voters that he, of all others, would 
be elected. No man has filled the office 
of selectman in recent years, with more 
general satisfaction than Mr. Swett, and
