Manchester’s representative on 
Beacon Hill, Patrick H. Boyle, reg- 
istered a vigorous protest against 
Governor Walsh’s proposed tax leg- 
islation, at the hearing last Friday 
at the State House. In fact, Mr. 
Boyle is doing much active work in 
the State House, much more than his 
constituency as a whole know of. 
He is one of the most popular men 
in the House and is very much in 
evidence when matters pertaining 
to his district, which comprises part 
of Gloucester, are under discussion. 
He can always be depended upon to 
guard zealously the interests of his 
district and is on the job every 
hour of the day.

The adjourned Town Meeting will 
be held a week from next Monday 
evening, when the remaining mat- 
ters in the annual warrant will be 
acted upon. It is understood the 
selectmen will then be ready to

to the method of handling the sale 
of produce at the Poor-Farm. The 
county commissioners have not yet 
made their decree on the matter of 
Pine street improvements, though it 
is understood they will before the 
meeting. The only thing holding 
them up at the present time, it is 
said, is the adjustment of the Caw- 
thorne property, corner Pine and 
Central streets. They were in town 
yesterday, but did not meet the par- 
ties concerned.

It is of interest to note as a result 
of Selectman Dean’s visit to Wash- 
ington and his activity in having 
the government do something to- 
ward removing the Bow Bell ledge 
from the entrance to Manchester 
harbor, that Senator Lodge has in- 
troduced an amendment to the Har- 
bors and Rivers bill providing for 
the survey of this ledge by the war 
department engineers, which must 
needs be the first step looking to- 
ward governmental action. This is 
one of four important steps through 
which matters of this kind must go 
before final action can be taken. Mr. 
Dean thinks there is some hopes of 
the government removing this ledge 
some time, but not in the immediate 
future as matters of this kind na- 
turally move slowly.
