NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Manchester Town Meeting 
Nearly All the Articles of the Long Warrant Acted 
Upon and Meeting Adjourned to April. 
At the Town Meeting in Manches- 
cer Monday evening the balance of 
the warrant was gone through and 
now practically everything has been 
acted upon. A few articles are laid 
on the table to the April adjourn- 
ment—April 13th. Appropriations 
totalling $174,882.68 have been made. 
Fully $80,000 more will be needed 
before the meeting is finally dissolv- 
ed. 
The meeting was called to order 
at 7.30. Under Art, 22, salaries of 
town officials, it was voted on motion 
of Selectman Bell that the salary of 
town accountant be $1,050. 
Under Art. 57 it was voted, on 
motion of E. P, Stanley, to amend 
the former motion, in which it was 
voted to appropriate $100,000 in an- 
ticipation of taxes, so that it would 
read “in anticipation of revenue,” in 
order to conform to the state re- 
quirements, 
Under Arts. 24, 25, 26 and 27 the 
following appropriations were made: 
$400 for tree warden’s dept. ; $1,000, 
forest warden; $1,200 for®support of 
poor out of house and $3,000 for 
poor-in. Under this last article the se- 
lectmen asked to have $150 addi- 
tional appropriation to pay a bill of 
1908 for groceries from Frank H. 
Dennis, F. B, Rust, assignee. It was 
brought out that Mr. Dennis was in- 
debted to the town for produce from 
the poor farm and nobody was found 
that who could O. K. his bill. The 
rotion to vote $150 for this 
purpose was lost. Under this same 
article the recommendation of the 
finance committee that the town con- 
sider the subject matter of receipts 
from sale of produce from the poor 
farm, and determine the method of 
collection of same was brought up. 
It was voted that this matter be re- 
ferred to the selectmen, they to re- 
port at the April adjournment. 
Under Arts. 28, 29, and 35 the fol- 
lowing appropriations were made: 
$1,500 for state and military aid; 
$300 for soldiers’ relief; $1,440 for 
care of Tuck’s Point, it being under- 
stood that $300 of this amount was 
needed for dredging and for a new 
float. It was also voted in this con- 
nection that applications for the use. 
of the picnic grounds at Tuck’s Point 
for a second time be placed on file 
ten days and also that each appli- 
cant definitely state in whose inter- 
ests the grounds are procured. The 
idea of the motion is to overcome 
the custom of some parties in hiring 
the grounds early in the season for 
a number of days throughout the 
the summer. 
The following appropriations were 
made under Arts. 36, 37 and 38: $500 
for band concerts (a very hearty 
“aye” vote) ; $500 for celebration of 
Fourth of July; and $200 for Me- 
morial Day. ‘The following Fourth 
of July committee was appointed: 
Clarence W. Morgan, Edwin F. 
Preston, G. A. Knoerr, Alfred E. 
Hersey, C. W, Sawyer, Albert G. 
Warner, Geo. E. Hildreth and W. 
B, Rogers

of A. S. Jewett that the same reg- 
ulations be in vogue as last year. for 
the common, wharf and dump, and 
also (Art. 40) that the same rules 
be in force as last year as to town 
beaches and landings and that the 
placing of bath houses on the beach 
and the taking of sand and muck 
from the beaches be left in the hands 
of the selectmen, 
Art, 41, relating to the widening 
and straightening of Pine St., was 
laid on the table until the April ad- 
journment, as the county commis- 
sioners have not yet made their de- 
cree. Daniel O’Brien asked what 
was the status of the case and on 
being informed that the county com- 
missioners had not yet made their
