SPECIAL TOWN MEETING 
A special town meeting was held in 
Manchester Monday evening. Chas. 
C. Dodge was elected moderator. 
Art. 2, calling for an appropriation 
not exceeding $10,000 for reconstruc- 
tion and refitting the Gravelly Pond 
pumping station partially destroyed 
by fire Thanksgiving eve, was taken 
up. Chairman G. EF. Hildreth of the 
water board stated the fire damage 
had been adjusted with the insurance 
companies and $9,510.96 had been re- 
ceived by the town treasurer. 
Thomas Baker wanted to know 
what the commissioners planned to 
use for a roof—concrete or wood and 
slate shingles, which brought the in- 
formation that a concrete roof was 
now planned, the price for same be- 
ing only $52 in excess of the old style 
roof. .

$9,510.96 was put and carried.

on park land, recently acquired on 
Beach st. J. 6) “Reéd™os eines park 
board stated that the town had bought 
this land subject to a certain right 
of way to be used by John Allen as a 
boat landing, and to pass and repass 
over the same—a strip 16 feet wide. 
Captain Allen, it appears, stores his 
boats on the land, and the board ask- 
ed for instructions from the town as 
to how to proceed. An opinion was 
read from Judge Edgar S. Taft of 
Gloucester, which was in substance to 
the effect that while Mr. Allen had a 
right*to use the land as a landing ‘2 
did not have the right to store his 
boats there.
