HIRE SPOTTERS TO STOP 
SALE OF STRONG DRINKS. 
This is the Only Way to Enforce the Law 
Says W. Choate Rust at Manchester’ 
Town Meeting. 
The Puritanic air which pervaded 
the sessions of the Manchester town 
_ meeting last week received a vigorous 
jolt Tuesday night when W. Choate 
Rust appeared on the scene and made 
his annual tirade on the enforcement 
of the liquor law. 
He demanded that the instructions 
the selectmen gave the police for the 
enforcement of the law be produced. 
He struck at the police, the select- 
men and everybody else, because, he 
alleged, the law was not enforced. 
He deelared the spotter system was 
- the only remedy for the condition. 
The sane and well-pointed remarks 
of Rev. W. H. Ashley, who made a 
strong plea for the enforcement of the 
law and the abandonment of the sa- 
loon in the interests of the home 
served only to further bestir the feel- 
ings of the former speaker, who in- 
dulged freely in personalities after Su- 
perintendent of Streets Kimball spoke 
_ on the question. 
Besides appropriating $300 for the 
enforcement of the liquor law $1,200 
was appropriated for repairing the 
stone crusher, and $831 was appropri- 
ated for crushing stone; a vote was 
passed to install electric lights in the 
town hall building ; $2,800 was voted 
for the Elm street layout, and an addi- 
tional $425 for concreting. A full and 
complete account of the meeting will 
be found in another column. 
What was Said and 
Done at Town Meeting. 
The Tuesday evening session of 
Town Meeting, adjourned from last 
_ week, came to order at 7.35. 
The moderator announced that John 
Desmond requested his name be 
dropped from the list of jurors. 
Granted.

Oldest Librarian in Massachusetts. 
The honor of being the oldest libra- 
rian in the State is an honor any man 
might justly be proud of, and Man- 
chester can well feel proud of claim- 
ing that man in its venerable librarian, 
Delucena Lothrop Bingham, who has 
this week been reappointed librarian 
of the Manchester Public Library. 
Mr. Bingham celebrated his nineti- 
eth birthday on the seventh of last 
November, has served the town as 
librarian for 23 years and has been ac- 
corded the honor of being the oldest 
librarian in Massachusetts for some 
years. He has been a trustee of the 
Public Library since 1876. 
Though Mr. Bingham was instru- 
mental in bringing about the erection 
of the beautiful library building in 
Manchester, and has been at its head 
since the structure was built and pre- 
sented to the town by T. Jefferson
