NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
fore the appropriation committee on 
this matter. We have a plant here 
which cost in the vicinity of $3,500 and 
a boiler and engine worth $1,200 more. 
We have 3,000 tons of stone to crush 
and we have about 2,000 tons ready to 
be put into the crusher. The ledge is 
exhausted, -—- you have no more ledge 
that it would be practicable to blow 
out. 
“Thus you see we have a plant 
worth $4,700 and no use for it except 
to crush 3,500 tons of stone. 
«What do you want to do? —abolish 
it? sell it? or buy some more ledge 
and crush some more stone? 
*« Some people said nine years ago 
the child was still unborn who will ever 
see the end of that ledge. There have 
been lots of children born in Man- 
chester since then, but the ledge is 
gone. This $831.98 on hand is enough 
to put the crusher in condition and 
crush the stone on hand now.” 
Mr. Kimball moved that the whole 
subject matter of Art. 39 be referred 
toa committee of three to be appointed 
by the chair. Carried.

Art. 51. $300 was approrpriated 
for the care of trees. 
Moderator : “I think a certain num- 
ber of new trees ought to set out each 
year. I don’t know as this appropri- 
ation covers that.” 
J.S. Reed: ‘The law compels a town 
to set a certain number of trees each 
year, I think not less than twenty.” 
P. Knight: “The tree. warden 
stated before the committee this ap- 
propriation covered new trees.” 
Moderator: ‘‘It seems to me a town 
like this should give considerable at- 
tention to the setting of trees.”’ 
Art. 52. $400 was appropriated for 
the extermination of insect pests as 
recommended in the tree warden’s re- 
port. Mr. Knight explained that this 
amount was to be expended under the 
direction of the tree warden on the 
highways, while the $1,000 was to be 
expended under the direction of the 
selectmen, not on the highways. 
Art. 54, Voted on motion of A. S. 
Jewett that all taxes shall be paid on 
or before Nov. 1, 1905. 
Art. 28, relating to street lights. 
Selectman Swett read a communica- 
tion from the Welsbach company in 
which the company agreed to discon- 
tinue the present lights and install the 
very latest pattern boulevard light, and 
to keep the same clean and in first 
class condition and painted. The 
company offered to furnish light for 
220 lamps for three years, the same to 
burn 26 nights in the month for $27.60 
alight per annum. If the town felt 
disposed to continue the terms for five 
years, the same would be furnished at 
the rate of $27.20 a year. Further- 
more, after two years the town can 
terminate the contract, if it so sees fit, 
at a year’s notice, and if continued for 
five years the difference between the 
three years and five years terms will 
be rebated to the town at the end of 
the five years. Mr. Swett stated the 
town was now, paying $29. 
Richard Garcia, representing the 
Welsbach company, was present and 
allowed to take the floor. He was 
ready to answer any and all questions. 
He advised the town to take advantage 
of the offer, as the price of oil at the 
present time had dropped somewhat, 
and later it might be more, so that 
the company would not be able to 
give them such a low rate. He would 
say that when the system was installed 
in Manchester, five years ago, 10,000 
of these lights were in operation, while 
today there was over 250,000. 
O. T. Roberts: “Is your company 
lighting the town of Hamilton ?”’ 
Mr. Garcia: ‘No, sir; but we are 
lighting the town of Wenham.”’
