NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
his loss will, no doubt, be felt in many 
ways. 
Edward S$. Knight (now chairman) 
and Walter R. Bell were returned on 
the board of selectmen, and also on the 
new board of assessors, Mr. Knight for 
the two year term, and Mr. Bell for the 
one year term. Mr. Swett was elected 
for the three year term, and has since 
been elected chairman of the board. 
The election of James Hoare as water 
commissioner for three years over N. P. 
Meldrum, by nine votes, was another 
surprise. 
to Mr. Meldrum from the fact that Mr. 
Hoare did notenter the field until the 
last week, and because Mr. Hoare was 
the third candidate. Mr. Hildreth re- 
ceived 94 votes. 
Frank A. Rowe was an easy winner 
in the contest for park commissioner for 
three years. He received 181 votes to 
121 for C. O. Howe, the retiring com- 
missioner, and 134 for J. S. Reed. 
The license vote was __ strongly 
‘* apainst,’’ the vote standing 260 ““No,”’ 
to 182 ““Yes:’’ Last year- it was 163 
““Yes,’’ and 224 “‘No.”’ 
Many conceded the election 
The total vote cast was 470, one of 
the largest, ;if not the largest, ever re- 
corded at a Manchester town election. 
In 1906, 465 votes were cast. Last year 
the vote was 409. 
The meeting was not what might be 
called a lively one, though the discussion 
waxed warm when the school department 
and highway department appropriations 
were under consideration. 
Much credit is due the moderator, 
Raymond C. Allen, for the manner in 
which he handled the business of the 
meeting. Very few meetings with so 
many articles, calling for so many appro- 
priations, have been put through in such 
a short time. When the meeting closed 
Tuesday evening every article in the 
warrant had been acted upon, except 
a few which were held over to the ad- 
journed meeting. 
Allthe credit, however, should not go 
to the moderator, but the appropriation 
committee are to be praised for the very 
efficient and complete report presented 
by them, which aided materially in ex- 
pediting the business of the meeting.
