A Hint to Advertisers 
“The North Shore BREEzE, which 
is published in Beverly and Manches- 
ter, probably enjoys a larger circula- 
tion among the millionaires than any 
other society paper in New England, 
if not in the country. Friend Lodge 
has evidently caught the popular favor 
of the aristocracy.” —Salem News.

WHISPERINGS 
Many Manchester people who at- 
tended the automobile show in Boston 
this week were attracted by a large 
picture in the Pierce Arrow booth in 
Mechanics hall of H. Keno Marble, 
chauffeur for James F. Shaw of Man- 
chester, sitting in Mr. Shaw’s auto 
which did such a hustling business 
during the campaign last fall. The 
car in the picture was a Pierce Great 
Arrow, which no doubt holds a record 
for endurance runs. From March 19, 
1905, to Feb. 24, 1906, it had run 
21,487 miles, using 1791 gallons of 
gasolene. Keno tells me as much as 
15,000 miles was covered during the 
campaign last fall, running from Man- 
chester to all parts of the district. 
The Pierce Great Arrow, by the way, 
is one of the best cars on the market, 
and a large crowd were continually 
congregated about this booth.

TOWN MEETING 
Two More Sessions of the Manchester An- 
nual Meeting Held This Week—Appropri- 
ations Now Over $200.000 
Two more sessions of the annual 
town meeting, in Manchester, have 
been held this week and must of the 
business has now been disposed of, 
much of the matters of lesser import- 
ance being put through Monday and 
last evenings. A detailed account of 
the proceedings follows. 
What was Said and Done at 
Manchester Town Meeting 
The adjourned town meeting was 
called to order by Moderator Hooper 
at 7.30 Monday evening. 
The first business transacted was 
the reappointment by the moderator 
of G. W. Blaisdell, F. P. Ayers and 
A. C. Needham, whose terms expired 
on the appropriation committee, in- 
stead of those who had been reap- 
pointed at a recent meeting, there 
having been some. misunderstanding 
as to the dates of expiration. 
Article 16, with reference to the 
re-location of Bennett street, as or- 
dered by the county commissioners, 
on petition of William Johnson and 
others, passed over on motion of G. S. 
Sinnicks. 
Article 7, relative to Norwood ave- 
nue extension. F. K. Swett asked 
for further time. 
Article 22. On motion of C.O. 
Howe $225 was appropriated to have 
the new school house protected from 
lightning. 
Article 2, reports of town officers, 
was called for by E. P. Stanley, tax 
collector, «Phe tax lists o1 1393. 94 
and '95, amounting to $8 61, was re- 
bated, as was also a tax of $8.05 
against Chas. E. Brown of Ipswich, 
all of which were assessed illegally 
and could not be collected. On the 
list of 1901 the tax of $10.27 against 
the late Downing Lee was rebated. 
Mr. Stanley said he could collect this, 
but he felt under the circumstances it 
ought to be rebated. The whole 
amount rebated was $26.93. 
W. C. Rust asked what the appro- 
priation committee had done on the 
matter of a little amount voted to be 
left for their consideration ($300 for 
liquor law enforcement). 
Secretary A. C. Needham said the 
committee had not yet considered the 
matter, but would report at a future 
meeting. 
Article 23. $4,900, without receipts, 
was appropriated for the support of 
the police department. 
Article 24. Appropriated $75 for 
the care and maintenance of the police 
clock system. 
Article 29. Parks. This article was 
taken from the table. D.T. Beaton 
read an opinion from Counsel Evans. 
on the matter of the Beach street 
park improvements, the question at 
issue being the legality of the town 
appropriating money for dredging a 
channel and basin to the pier. This 
was reported on favorably. The plan. 
of the commissioners having been 
accepted and the appropriation called 
for, and recommended by the appro- 
priation committee, having been with- 
held awaiting this reply, it was then 
voted, on motion of Mr. Beaton, ‘‘that 
$7,000 be appropriated to build a stone 
retaining wall from Beach street to 
the pier now constructed.” 
R. A. Mitchell asked what sort of a 
wall it was intended to build. 
Mr. Beaton replied that it would be 
a block stone wall, with granite cap- 
pings, 2 ft. 6 in. wide by 6 in. thick. 
A. C. Needham stated that the 
dredging company who had figured on 
the work of dredging had told him 
they were coming tov Annisquam to do 
some work this spring and their fig- 
ures on the Manchester job would be 
materially lessened. , 
E. S. Knight said a two-thirds vote 
was called for on any money appropri- 
ated for parks. A-hand vote was 
taken, resulting in 110 in the affirma- 
tive and 2 in the negative. 
W.C. Rust: “Have the commis- 
sioners come to any decision as to . 
who shall build the wall, the labor, 
Ct ae 
D. T. Beaton replied that it was 
their intention to obtain figures from 
different parties and award it to the 
lowest man, provided he was responsi- 
ble. 
M. E. Gorman moved that the work 
be done by in-town contractors, and, 
that in-town labor be employed as far 
as practicable. The moderator said 
he did not hear a second to the 
motion, and was about to pass along. 
M. E. Gorman questioned this, and 
asked if it had not been seconded by 
one of the commissioners. 
The moderator asked if anyone had 
seconded the motion, directing his 
query apparently to the park commis- 
sioners. No one replied, and he was 
about to pass along again, when Mr. 
Lewis Killam arose and said he had 
seconded the motion and a gentleman 
behind him had also seconded it. Mr. 
Gorman’s motion was put and carried. 
Article 80. It was moved by C. O. 
Howe to appropriate $1,500 for the 
maintenance and care of parks. 
Rk. A. Mitchell asked if this was not 
the same amount as last year. 
Moderator: “It is $50 less.” 
Mr. Mitchell then asked if more 
money was not needed. He under- 
stood there was to be considerable 
work done atthe park, and it might 
be necessary to hire another man.
