hall and be responsible for all money 
received for the same, also make re- 
turn of receipts to the selectmen every 
month, and pay all money received for 
rental of hall to the town treasurer 
every month, accepting his receipt for 
the same. 
Your committee would recommend 
the following: That a police officer 
shall be present at all entertainments 
and be furnished at the expense of 
the town. That an officer shall be 
present at all dances held between July 
1 and Oct. 1, and his services shall 
be paid for by the person or persons 
hiring the hall. 
That his attendance at dances held 
between Oct. 1 and July 1 shall be at 
the discretion of the selectmen and 
paid for by the town. 
That the hall shal] not be let for 
dances on Saturday night. 
(Signed) CHESTER L. CRAFTS, 
Geo. A. KITFIELD,

E. P. Stanley moved the report of 
the committee be accepted and the 
recommendations adopted. 
J. H. Rivers said that it had been 
the custom when no admission was 
charged to let the hall at a reduction, 
and asked if provision had been made 
for this. 
C. L. Crafts explained that the 
committee thought best to have the 
prices the same for all parties and the 
town could reimburse if it saw fit. 
J. S. Reed thought the length of 
period in which a police officer should 
be at dances ought to be extended. 
C. M. Dodge wanted to know how 
much of an increase this was over 
that now prevailing. 
C. C. Dodge thought some provi- 
sion should be made for such classes 
of entertainments as lectures, etc., 
given for educational purposes. 
Albert Cunningham said he noticed 
the price of hall for fairs was to be 26 
per day and asked if this was an 8 
_ hour day, or how it was to be con- 
-strued. 
The motion for acceptance and 
adoption was carried unanimously. 
Art. 5. To see if the town will 
appropriate the sum of $350 for the 
use of the park department. 
Commissioner D. T. Beaton stated 
they asked for this amount to cover 
bills which had got by the chairman 
of the board, in part, and had been 
paid ; also, that the street department 
had put in a couple of bills amounting 
to over $100 for work done. In other 
words they had exceeded the appro- 
priation. 
Mr. Roberts moved $350 be appro- 
priated. Carried. 
Art. 6. To see if the town will 
authorize the selectmen to settle the 
suit of “Small vs. Town of Manches- 
ter’’ and appropriate money for the 
same. 
The committee on appropriations 
reported that, finding the town coun- 
sel recommended a settlement of this 
claim for $350, they recommended 
this amount be appropriated. 
Chairman Swett explained the case, 
saying in brief that in August of 
1904, Frank E. Small of Hamilton, a 
horse dealer, was driving along Mas- 
conomo street, his horse shied at the 
. junction of Proctor street, and went 
over the embankment, there being no 
guard rail at this point. In Septem- 
ber he sued the town for $1000. 
Counsel for the town and Mr. Small’s 
lawyer some weeks ago decided $350 
would pay the bill and agreed on this 
amount as settlement. 
C. C. Dodge asked if Mr. Swett 
considered the town was to blame, to 
which the latter replied, that there 
should be a guard rail at this point 
but none had ever been put there. 
A motion by Mr. Swett for a set- 
tlement of the claim and an appropri- 
ation of $350, was put and carried. 
Meeting adjourned at 8.30.

Marie Cahill’s Great Success 
Marie Cahill opened her regular 
Boston season at the Tremont Thea- 
tre last Monday in the “smart” mus- 
ical play ‘‘ Molly Moonshine,” which 
had such a successful run in New 
York city. One of the largest audi- 
ences that ever greeted a popular star 
was present to receive ‘* Nancy 
Brown ”’ in her new offering by Ed- 
win Milton Royle and George V. Ho- 
bart, with music by Silvio Hein. 
Miss Cahill has even improved her 
well-known method of propelling ef- 
fectively but quietly the laughable 
epigrams given her by Mr. Hobart, 
and her songs are the best she has 
ever had. One of the features which 
adds greatly to the totally complete 
prettiness of ‘‘ Molly Moonshine”’ is 
the much written about beauty chor- 
us. With their long skirts and dain- 
ty laces, the pretty girls in Miss Ca- 
hill’s company make _ themselves 
much more interesting than does the 
bold type of chorus girl to which the 
American public has been willingly or 
otherwise. accustomed. Miss Cahill 
will be at the Tremont for two weeks 
more.
