the powder, in fact. The attacks 
which we expected during.the war of 
1812 did not happen and our fortifica- 
tions were not used. 
“It was something over 50 years 
ago that the house was opened,”’ con- 
tinued the deacon. ‘I remember the 
powder was considerably decomposed 
and was of no use whatever. That 
with the cartridges was taken out and 
the little building repaired and the 
door closed up with brick.” 
The accompanying picture was 
taken by John R. Cheever several 
years ago, and is one of the best ever 
taken of the inner harbor. It shows 
the town hall, the police station, the 
Congregational church, old Manches- 
ter house, and in fact to one who is 
acquainted with the centre of the town 
the view ought to prove of particular 
interest and be a handsome souvenir 
to send to friends.

It took just seventeen minutes to 
dispose of the business that came up 
at the special town meeting in Man- 
chester, Tuesday night, and in that 
time a revised list of Jurors was ac- 
cepted and $5200 was voted for re- 
pairs on the highways. 
The meeting was rather slimly at- 
tended, not move than twenty-five be- 
ing present. 
Town clerk Alfred S. Jewett called 
the meeting to order at 7.28 and read 
the articles in the warrant. 
Franklin K. Hooper was elected 
moderator of the meeting. 
Upon motion of E. P. Stanley the 
revised list of jurors as presented by 
the selectmen was accepted. 
When Article III. was taken up W. 
H. Allen presented a report on the 
condition of the highways, saying, 
that at the time of the annual meet- 
ing it was not thought probable that 
the work of putting in the electric 
wire conduits would be completed 
till this autumn, but the work was 
rushed along and as a result the 
streets were left in a bad condition. 
The board recommended an_addition- 
al appropriation of $5000 or more for 
highway repairs. 
Following this report the appropria- 
tion committee recommended the 
appropriation of $5200 to be used as 
follows: iron railing on Bennett street, 
$125; macadam on Crafts hill, $750; 
macadam from the railroad bridge on 
Summer street, or 100 feet beyond to 
the top of the hill, $1000; macadam 
from the Lily Pond to Magnolia ave- 
nue, $2000; macadam from Harbor, 
where macadamizing was left off, to 
Bridge street, $1325. 
M. J. Callahan motioned that in 
accord with the report of the com- 
mittee on appropriations the sum of 
$5200 be appropriated for repairs on 
highways. Carried. 
It was voted upon motion of W. H. 
Allen that the selectmen be author- 
ized to transfer the balance of the 
appropriation for the interest on 
money levied in anticipation of taxes 
— $826.89—to the appropriation for 
highways. 
Meeting adjourned at 7.45.
