NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ADJOURNED TOWN MEETING 
The Last Session of the Annual Meeting 
Held Monday Evening 
The final business of the annual 
town meeting, in Manchester, was 
disposed of Monday evening at the 
adjourned meeting, which was called 
to order at 7.45 by Moderator F. K. 
Hooper. 
The matter of building a sidewalk 
through the Cove woods, so-called, 
was the principal matter of business. 
The committee on appropriations re- 
ported that as the plans for the side- 
walk had only been out a few days they 
requested more time, and said. they 
would be ready to report at a special 
meeting to be held the last of this 
month. This was voted on favorably. 
W.C. Rust.— “ We have a plan of 
that sidewalk and I think it would be 
a good idea to have it explained.” 
Gardner M. Lane, chairman of the 
committee, said the plan was simply 
an outline of the sidewalk, showing 
where it was placed in the street. It 
was to be built on the northerly side 
of the street, along Mr. Coolidge’s 
land, and continue to the junction 
of Ocean street. The only question 
was, when the road reaches the top of 
Craft’s hill, there is a ledge extending 
out and part of the road used comes 
so near the walk, it is very dangerous 
for pedestrians. 
Itiseemsibest; he -satd; to-.cut off 
part of the ledge and move the road 
over, making enough room for a side- 
walk. 
Mr. Rust said there was a place 
near Mr. Coolidge’s farm stable where 
the walk would have to rise four or 
six feet above the level of this road. 
Why not cut this ledge away? 
Mr. Lane replied that this would 
destroy the beauty of the road; it 
was the idea of the committee to re- 
move the trees as little as possible. 
Mr. Rust.—‘“‘The gentleman is for 
beauty ; Iam for utility. By remov- 
ing this ledge you can fill in in 
other places.” The speaker went on 
to say that it would be difficult in 
winter for people to walk up the steep 
grades, and it would be hard also to 
get there with snow plows. ‘I should 
call it an abortion to build according 
to the plans.” 
Austin Morley.— “I have looked 
the plans over as much as anyone has, 
and I think they could not be im- 
proved « on by anybody. The grade is 
not steep, — only 1 in 15.’ 
Mr. Lane.—‘‘The committee con- 
sidered not only the beauty, but our 
first consideration was to get a side- 
walk. The question of beauty was 
only secondary. The plans are based 
primarily on how to get the best side- 
walk ; second, to lay it out in such a 
manner as to keep it looking as nice 
as possible, removing as few trees as 
possible.” | 
Mr. Rust thought this sidewalk 
should be in keeping with those in 
other parts of the town. 
F. K. Hooper thought this plan 
presented was a good one, and that 
the town should build the walk this 
year. 
Art. 3—To take such action as 
seems proper with reference to fill- 
ing the vacancy caused by the 
death of Wm. E. Kitfield, a mem- 
ber of the Board of Selectmen. 
It was thought advisable to call a 
special meeting for the election of a 
successor to the late Wm. E. Kitfield. 
E. P. Stanley moved that a commit- 
tee of five be appointed to draw up 
resolutions and a that a copy be sent 
to the family of the bereaved and also
