NORTH SHORE BREEZ 
sree SNe MASS. , SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908. 
_ The question of additional water sup- 
ply for Manchester, and a higher water 
pressure, has at last been settled, for it 
was voted at a special town meeting 
Wednesday evening to raise by bond 
ssue $160,000 for this purpose. The 
Gravel Pond plan will be carried out. 
new standpipe will be erected on 
Moses Hill in the western section of the 
town with a capacity of a million gallons. 
The details of the meeting, and the 
motions passed are printed below. 
‘There was no objection offered and the 
business of the meeting was carried out 
promptly and with very little discussion. 
As an additional feature of the meet- 
ing, but with no legal bearing, however, 
was the resolution presented by W. C. 
Rust, and adopted unanimously, as a 
matter of obtaining the public sentiment, 
n objection to the move being made _ to 
turn the Masconomo Hotel property in- 
tO a Sanitarium. 
_ Incase this scheme is carried forward, 
it is evident from the expression of the 
citizens Wednesday evening, that it will 
be met with bitter resentment by the 
own and summer colonists. 
‘The meeting was called to order at 
8 o'clock by ‘Town Clerk Jewett and 
after the reading of the warrant Raymond 
C. Allen was elected moderator on mo- 
tion of W. C. Rust. William W. 
Hoare, Walter R. Bell and M. E. Gor- 
man were appointed tellers. 
Art. 2. R. C. Allen reported for the 
committee that they had secured the pas- 
sage of an act granting the use of Round 
Pond to the Town of Manchester as an 
additional source of water supply rein- 
forcing the grant already made for the 
use of Gravel Pond, also that the act 
also allows the town to issue bonds to 
the amount of $200,000 for additional 
water supply. 
The appropriation committee pre- 
sented ‘“majority’’ and ‘‘ minority’’ 
‘ . . 
reports. .The “‘majority’’ report fol- 
low: P 
“We recommend the expenditure of 
a sum of money not exceeding $160,000 
for the purpose of carrying out the pro- 
visions contained in Art. No. 3 of the 
warrant.’’ ‘This was signed by George 
W. Blaisdell, John Baker, Chester L. 
as Francis P. Ayers and Duncan 
. Beaton. 
The ‘ * minority

report was as fol- 
$160,000 to be Raised by Bond Issue for this Purpose. 
to be Installed. Resolutions Adopted by Informal Vote against 
use of Masconomo Property as Sanitarium. 
ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY FOR MANCHESTER 
High Pressure Service 
lows: ‘‘Should the town accept and 
adopt the provisions of articles 2 and 3 
of the warrant, we recommend the 
expenditure of asum of money not ex- 
ceeding $160,000 for the purpose of 
carrying out the provisions contained in 
these articles.’’ ‘This ‘was signed by F. 
K. Hooper, A. C. Needham, F. J. 
Merrill and B. S. Bullock. 
F. K. Hooper moved the substitution 
of the minority report for that of the 
majority. He said in explanation that 
this matter of additional water supply 
came before the committee on appropria- 
tion, a part of which committee is also 
part of the committee on water supply. 
He was of the opinion that a majority of 
the appropriation committee went out- 
side their duty in recommending the ap- 
propriation. As for himself he did not 
care to commit himself and he preferred 
the town to act on the matter first. The 
majority of the committee had consid- 
ered the merits of the question as well as 
the ability or the disability of the town 
to carry the thing through. He consid- 
ered it his duty to say whether the town 
can-or cannot do this financially at the 
present time. “The minority say if you 
do decide to do this thing the town is in 
a position to do it financially. 
D. T. Beaton said it was purely up to 
the townto decide whether to do this
