NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS., SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1907. 
SPECIAL TOWN MEETING AT 
MANCHESTER, MONDAY EVENING 
The special Town Meeting in ‘Man- 
chester Monday evening lasted about 
forty minutes, during which time it was 
voted to spend $500 to dredge a channel 
to the public pavilion at Tuck’s Point, 
$2272.13 as an additional appropriation 
for the extermination of browntail and 
_ gypsy moths, and $1000 forthe purpose 
of paying the judgement awarded by the 
court in the Langford suit. 
The meeting was called to order by 
Town Clerk A. S. Jewett at 7.40, and 
the warrant was read. Twenty-two voters 
were present. Raymond C. Allen was 
elected moderator by acclamation. 
Aritcle 2,—relocation of Sea street. 
Selectman Swett said this was an old 
town way. The petition for re-location 
had been brought to establish the lines of 
the street and to legalize them, so that 
parties who may desire to convey on this 
street may know where the lines are. 
The layout is practically the same as now, 
except on the corner near the property 
owned oy H. S. Grew. R. C. Allen 
gave an explanation of the matter sub- 
stantially the same as the above. 
It was voted on motion of W. C. 
Rust to accept the layout. 
Art. 3. Selectman Swett stated that the 
sum Manchester was supposed to spend 
on moth work, according to the appor- 
tionment, was $4304.63. Of this amount 
$2217.32 yet remained be appropriated. 
W. C. Rust said he favored the ap- 
propriation, as this matter of ridding our 
trees of moths was a blessing in disguise ; 
the money is distributed among our 
people and does much good inthat way. 
Mr. Swett didn’t agree with Mr. Rust 
in this regard. He believed this was not 
a matter of sentiment. In Lynnfield, 
Saugus, and many other places trees are 
entirely stripped. of foliage because of the 
moths. Manchester would suffer in this 
same way if the trees were not taken 
care of. 
It was voted on motion of W. C. 
Bishop O’Connell at Manchester Tomorrow 
Exercises in connection with the lay- 
ing of the corner-stone of the splendid 
new granite structure of the Church of 
the Sacred Heart, Manchester, will take 
place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock 
at the church. The corner-stone will 
be laid by the Most Reverend William - 
H. O’Connell, Archbishop Coadjutor, 
assisted by a number of visiting clergy- 
men. 
The sermon of the occasion will be 
delivered by Rev. John J. Ryan, Per- 
manent Rector of St. Paul’s church, 
Cambridge. The ceremonies will con- 
clude with the Benediction of the Bless- 
ed Sacrament. Prior to the laying of the 
-corner-stone the Sacrament of Confirm- 
ation will be administered to forty children 
and eight adults by the Most Reverend 
Archbishop William H. O’ Connell. 
The music of the confirmation, cor- 
ner-stone and benediction ceremonies 
willbe furnished by a male quartet of 
well known Boston singers, consisting of 
John B. Donovan, Dr. James ‘A. Reilly, 
Thomas E. Clifford and Solomon Mc- 
Gonagle. 
In laying the corner-stone the arch- 
bishop will use a silver trowel suitably in- 
scribed, and within a rectangalur cavity 
inthe corner-stone, he will deposit a 
copper box containing specie of this 
year’s cuinage, a copy of each of the two

The Flower Mission, 
Of the many charities which receive 
the aid of North Shore residents, possibly 
there is none in which more good is done 
and pleasure brought to those confined 
in the tenement districts of our great cit- 
ies and in the hospitals than through the 
work of the Manchester flower mission. 
The mission meets every Monday morn- 
ing at nine o'clock in the basement of 
the Unitarian church on Masconomo 
street, to receive flowers sent from neigh- 
boring gardens, which are fowarded to 
Boston for distribution among the hos- 
pitals and numerous institutions. A few 
extracts from some of theletters of grate- 
ful recipients may be of interest to the 
contributors of the flowers: 
“It. is not possible to estimate the 
pleasure which sweet smelling flowers 
give to sick and weary, women in the 
tenement houses.’’ 
“One bouquet has cheered the heart 
of one of our poor who has not many 
days to live, and is a great sufferer. She 
says it takes her right into the country 
where she can imagine herself breathing 
the fresh air, and seeing the green fields 
all about her. If but this one case were 
blessed by your flowers it more than 
pays.’’ . 
Letters from the hospitals state that the 
flowers are. greatly enjoyed by the pat- 
lents. ;
