Nov. 1, 1914, and that interest at 
the rate of 6% be charged after that 
date. 
Under Art, 58 the following ap- 
propriations were made: memorial 
library bldg. maint., $1,000; sealer of 
weights & measures, $50; harbor 
master, $40; overseers of poor dept., 
$150; town reports, $500; public lia- 
bility insurance, $1,100; reserve fund, 
$3,000; Int. on temporary loans, $4,- 
000 ; Int. on water bonds, $5,200; Int. 
on sewer bonds, $9,000; redemption 
water bonds, $6,000; redemption sew- 
er bonds, $8,000. 
The matter of $150 for overseers 
of poor department caused some little 
discussion as the finance committee 
reported against it. Some issue was 
made of the fact that $50 of this 
amount is paid to the clerk of the 
board, who already receives a stated 
sum as chairman of the board of se- 
lectmen. The amount has been paid, 
however, to the accountant who does 
the necessary clerical work for the 
board. 
Art, 59, relating to free use of 
town hall by charitable societies was 
referred to a committee of three,— 
Walter R. Bell, G. S. Sinnicks and 
H. T. Bingham, Some merriment was 
caused by Mr. Bingham’s suggestion 
that the committee be given the use 
of $500, 
On motion of Albert Cunningham 
it was voted that a committee draw 
up suitable resolutions on the servi- 
ces rendered by E. A. Lane, who has 
retired from the school committee 
this year after serving since 1892, 
most of that time as chairman. This 
was passed on a unanimous rising 
vote. 
The meeting adjourned at 9.20 to 
the second Monday evening in April, 
—the 13th. 
In THE INTERESTS OF Forest LANDs. 
At the Town Meeting in Manches- 
ter last week the following motion 
was made by Frank P, Knight and 
voted by the town almost unani- 
mously : 
“That the town enter into an agree- 
ment with the North Shore Horti- 
cultural society to act with them in 
replanting forest lands, both public 
and private, and for the proper care 
of same; and with this end in view, 
that the society shall appoint a com- 
mittee of three from among its mem- 
bers who are practical gardeners and 
who shall serve without pay in car- 
rying on the work suggested under 
this vote.”

TEL. 73-R and W 
ing of the Treaty of Ghent .This 
treaty brought to a close the 
last war between the United States 
and Great Britain. In spite of dif- 
ferences which from time to time 
have arisen between our two nations 
since the negotiation of that treaty, 
the spirit of respect for law as a sub- 
stitute for war has prevailed among 
both our peoples, and we have had 
a century of peace. Committees 
of distinguished men _ representing 
both nations have held a conference 
to-prepare for the observance of the 
centennial, and in order that the 
blessings of peace may be universally 
recognized, have planned to invite 
all nations to participate in the pro- 
gram. ‘The event, therefore, besides 
being memorable in the history of 
TREAT YOUR WATCH RIGHT 
the two countries immediately con- 
cerned, should be a means of devel- 
oping the peace idea among all man- 
kind. It seems fitting ‘that Massa- 
chusetts should co-operate with her 
sister States and with the national 
government in this festival of na- 
tions. Many citizens have expres- 
sed the hope that the Commonwealth 
and the citizens of Massachusetts 
generally will observe this centen- 
ary; and suggest the adoption of a 
program which, while it is appropri- 
ate to the historic part taken by Mas- 
sachusetts in the relations of the 
United States with Great Britain, 
shall be conceived with a breadth of 
mind that will emphasize the thought 
of peace with all nations, and shall 
appeal to all races,
