boarded. The inside finish will be 
brown ash with maple floors, metal 
ceilings and suitable blackboard 
space. 
The building will face on Brook 
street and the location on the lot 
will be about 65 feet from that street 
and about 45 feet from Norwood 
avenue. This will bring the build- 
ing within the limits of the lots re- 
cently acquired by the town and 
will not encroach upon the play-* 
ground. The extreme length is 
about 108 feet and the extreme 
depth about 66 feet with about 6000 
square feet of floor space. There 
will be a well-lighted space in the 
attic which could be used for sev- 
etal purposes. In procuring esti- 
mates for the cost of this building 
I have tried to have them liberal 
enough so that everything pertain- 
ing to the erection and completion 
would be covered. 
The entire cost of the building, 
including everything connected 
with its construction, heating and 
ventilating, grading the grounds 
and laying concrete walks and fur- 
nishing three rooms will be $33,784 
This estimate may be reduced about 
$4000 if the citizens wish to cheap- 
en the building. Brick underpinning 
could be substituted for stone, 
which would lessen the expense 
about $2300. Spruce timbers for 
the first floor can be substituted for 
hard pine, which would make a re- 
duction of $500. The building could 
be heated by furnaces, which would 
cost less than steam at first, 
‘but would be more expensive in the 
amount of fuel used. 
In presenting this report with the 
accompanying figures of cost, I have 
endeavored to cover everything so 
that the town would not be called 
upon to spend more money to com- 
‘plete the job, and I believe that the 
building can be built and_ the 
grounds put in order and everything 
the very best at a sum that would 
be within the amount named. 
Should the town see fit to erect 
this building it would be not only 
ideal for primary school purposes, 
but would have an educational value 
and a homelike appearance that 
would certainly be attractive to the 
children having their first experi- 
ence in the »ublic schools of our 
town. It would be an ornament and 
one that we could all feel proud of. 
se PRINTING } 
Will be done promptly, well, and at a 
reasonable price, if you have it done by the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
To those who feel that the town 
should erect an eight-room build- 
ing, I will say that this one is to be 
so constructed that the roof can be 
raised at any time and four rooms 
more put on the second floor with 
the same general arrangements as 
prevail on the first floor. The stair- 
ways are provided for and the ven- 
tilators and heating also.

What Was Said and Done 
; At Town Meeting. 
The adjourned town meeting, in 
Manchester, was called to order 
at 7.50 Monday night by Moderator 
Pics, Cooper, 
Art. 30.—O. T. Roberts stated he 
had the report of the Committee on 
Salaries. The following amounts 
were recommended: Town Clerk, 
$500; Chairman Board of Select- 
men, $1000; two remaining mem- 
bers, $300 each; Auditor, $250; 
Chairman School Committee, $125: 
Registrars, $25 each; Secretary Ap- 
propriation Committee, $50; various 
other committees, 30 cents per 
hour; all other officers, same as last 
year. On motion of C. O. Howe, 
the report was accepted and the 
recommendations adopted. 
The Park Commissioners submit- 
ted plans for dredging a channel 
and basin at Beach street park, and 
asked for an appropriation of $3000 
for the same. Accompanying the 
report, which was read by the mod- 
erator, was a letter from the Bay 
State Dredging Co., in which they 
stated they would dredge a channel 
25 feet wide on the bottom and 
basin, with four feet of water at 
mean low tide, for $2700; they 
would dredge a channel 40 feet 
wide, and basin, for net sum _ of 
$3000. 
Commissioner G. S. Sinnicks pre- 
sented plans of operation showing 
the proposed dredging, stating the 
basin would be toox 150 feet.. He 
stated also that an architect had 
been down preparatory to making 
plans for the beautifying of the 
park. 
C. C. Dodge: “Have the commis- 
sioners made any provision for dis- 
posing of this stuff (the mud) ? 
How many years will this stream 
remain open before filling up?” 
G. S. Sinnicks: “In regard to the 
material we have considered the 
proposition of dumping it on our 
own land. But we cannot do so 
without the approval of the Har- 
bor and Land Commissioners, and 
they will not grant a permit unless 
a retaining wall is built. The dredg- 
ing company suggested taking it 
outside and dumping. We could 
only use a comparatively small part 
of it anyway. As regards the 
stream remaining open, the com- 
pany claims it will remain open a 
number of yedrs,—say 10 or 12 
years.” 
E. P. Stanley: “The old channel 
cost $1000 and it was 20 feet wide 
and three feet deep at mean low 
tide. That has filled in pretty well.” 
Mr. Sinnicks: “We propose a 
channel 40 feet wide and four feet 
deep. This will not fill in so quick- 
ly.” 
Samuel Knight said he thought 
there should be some means of util- 
izing the material taken out of the 
channel inasmuch as it was -neces- 
sary at some time to fill in the land. 
“Would it not be well to look into 
the matter of utilizing it? It will 
be useful in a few years. We can’t 
put’on material much less than 80 
cents a cubic foot. Would it not 
be well to tise this now at less 
cost?” 
W.C. Rust: “I was in hopes that 
the material could be utilized even 
if we have to hire a gang of men to 
wheel it up after it is dumped. Bet- 
ter than paying 75 cents or a dollar 
for filling.” 
Mr. Sinnicks: “I don’t see how 
any citizen can get the impression 
we are paying 75 cents or a dollar; 
we are paying nothing.” 
F. K. Hooper: “In view of the 
school question to come up and
