VOLUME 5. NUMBER 45 
Now that the state election is 
over it is almost time to think of 
the town election next March, 
and already little rumors of what 
may happen in various ways is 
being wafted about, At this time 
one thing is sure and that is that 
the new law relating to the board 
of assessors goes into effect the 
coming year. This law is as fol- 
lows 
‘Each assessor in every city 
and town of the Commonwealth, 
except in the city of Boston, shall 
be elected or appointed to hold 
office for the term of three years 
and untii his successor is duly 
elected or appointed: provided, 
that where the number of asses- 
sors is fixed at three, there shall 
be elected or appointed one fora 
term of three years,.one for a 
term of two years, and one for a 
term of one year; where the 
number is fixed at five, etc.” 
Now in Manchester the boards 
of selectmen and assessors are 
one. Two propositions are before 
the town, and will have to be de- 
cided at a special town meeting 
held this winter, One is to have 
two boards; the other to have 
them in one board. It will be 
seen that if the boards are made 
into one as now the selectmen 
will be elected for three years, 
ite not one year. Ifseparate the 
assessors will be elected as above 
and the selectmen as_ now, for 
one year. 
The DorcHESTER BEACON came 
to our exchange table this week 
in the form of a brimful and 
bristling, industrial and_ trade 
edition of 32 pages. The Beacon 
is one of the brightest of Boston 
suburban papers, and Senator 
“Tom” Leavitt, its popular ed- 
itorand owner, with his accus- 
tomed versatile pen has thrown 
the journalistic spot light on 
many of Dorchester’s leading 
business and_ professional men 
and firms, and men prominent in 
political affairs. Nearly all these 
brilliant write-ups are illustrated 
and this issue of the Bracon 
should form an important chap- 
ter in the history of Dorchester 
in years to come. 
WHISPERINGS. 
Some one is mean enough to suggest 
that a possible solution of the sewerage 
question in Manchester would be to have 
a large scow anchored at the town wharf 
in which refuse might be dumped and 
then carried out to sea, just because the 
remains of a chowder which one of the 
local secret orders had the other night 
was accidentally thrown into and all over 
one of the trim looking motor boats 
moored at the town wharf. ‘The fact is, 
it was so dark that the parties who fired 
the contents of the pail into the motor 
boat, thought they were throwing it into 
the harbor.

My friend Geo. D. Haskell, janitor 
of the Town Hall building, Manchester, 
has discovered that it makes a difference 
what kind of soap he uses. The other 
night, after a dance, he found a cake of 
what he supposed to be soap. He used 
it several days. One day, however, he 
wanted to remove some tar from his 
fingers; but the ‘“‘soap’’ did not seem 
to answer the purpose at all; in fact, it 
seemed to make it stick all the harder. 
A little closer scrutiny revealed the fact 
that what he was using was not soap, 
but bees-wax, and his “‘find’’ was im- 
mediately assigned to the furnace.

The young lady who put off calling on 
the milliner to get her new fall style bon- 
net until Sunday morning, and who _ had 
to appear in church hatless last Sunday 
morning because the milliner could not 
be connected with, was the target for a 
goad share of “‘jollying.’’
