had in a way purposed to decide on the 
matter of a superintendent of streets and 
to appoint some other man, a native of 
the village. My purpose in signing the 
petition was to hold back that appoint- 
ment for a little time, so that they might 
act with little better judgment than if they 
took action at once. 
“Tf you act with the deep purpose to 
serve the best interests of the town, and 
you appoint your man I shall submit to it, 
and very gracefully, too. I submit, Mr. 
Kimball is a very good man. Consider- 
ing the matter in its best light it appears 
to me the appointment of Mr. Kimball 
would be serving the best interests of the 
town. Our streets are among our best 
assets. Our summer visitors pay big 
taxes; they help support the schools, our 
fire department, police, and all other ex- 
penses, and the chief thing they ask of us 
is that we give them good streets. And 
it seems to me that their wishes in this 
matter should be gratified. | have re- 
ceived through the week from people 
who have settled along our shore and 
pay heavy taxes, letters and postals in 
which they favor the re-appointment of 
Mr. Kimball. These people represent 
property taxed on a_ valuation of 
$1,661,000.’’ 
O. M. Stanley. ‘‘ The speaker next 
to the last (Mr. Knight) said we wanted 
a man of intelligence, and I agree with 
him. But I want to ask him if it was 
good judgment last spring to tear up 
School street, which was a good stretch 
of street, and cart it over to Norwood 
avenue, to use for filling, and let Bridge 
street ¢0,—the worst street in town. It 
seems to me if that money was spent on 
Bridge street it would have showed in- 
telligence. I consider that money was 
just about squandered. oF 
F. K. Hooper. ‘‘ Was that job on 
School street done under the order of the 
selectmen of against their order? Seems 
to me lots of this criticism is not charge- 
able to the man who does the work, but 
to the one who Is in authority.”’

that money had been spent on Bridge

street instead of School street it would 
have been far better.”’ 
W.C. Rust said he didn’t suppose 
there was anybody more interested inthe 
roads than he; nor had anybody been 
in closer touch with Mr. Kimball’s work 
the past few years than he. He thought 
Mr. Kimball had been conscientious and 
had done whatever he thought was for 
the best interests of the town. ‘‘ Mr. 
Kimball can get more out of a man than 
anybody I know of. Everybody knows 
how the streets were when he came 
here. Look at them now! I think the 
selectmen ought to be responsible for all 
the work done. As for scientific roads, 
Mr. Kimball has had all these years of 
experience and if he is any good at all, 
he ought to be better than a man who 
hasn’t had any experience at all.’’ 
Mr. Rust said further that he thought 
much of this trouble over Mr. Kimball 
came from disgruntled people that don’t 
like his ways, people that have some spite 
and think he has been here long enough. 
He thought the best interests of the town 
call for retaining Mr. Kimball. 
Mr. Morley arose to speak, but the 
petitioners had not all been heard. 
A. S. Jewett said that he was a mem- 
ber of the board of selectmen that hired 
Mr. Kimball originally. ‘‘ We went to 
Boston,’’ said Mr. Jewett, ‘‘and called 
SALEM, MASS a 
on the Highway Commissioners, an¢ 
they recommended Mr. Kimball to us. 
We went to Watertown and engaged 
him. He came to Manchester and im- 
mediately set to work and you know the 
result. “They come from as far away ag

What would you think of a corporation, 
the directors of which were trying to 
place it on a paying basis, and they turned 
away the man who stand _ highest in the 
eyes of his peers, and get someone 
whom you don’t know. Yourselectmen 
have a right to appoint, and remove, but 
“subject to the best interests of the town.” 
The idea of judicial responsibility is at- 
tached to the duty of the selectmen in 
this matter.’ E 
John Baker said he thought it was for 
the best interests of the town to reap- 
point Mr. Kimball. : 
Austin Morley said that when people 
say itis a science to build streets, it is 
evident they haven’t read much of street 
building in Europe and of the old Roman 
architecture. ‘‘Why boys can _ build 
streets with the machinery you have to- 
day in Manchester. I have no personal 
feeling against any man. I lived before 
I came Manchester, and I think I could 
live if I left here.
