MANCHESTER 
The adjourned town meeting will 
be held next Monday evening, at 
which time it is expected to close up 
the remaining articles of the war- 
rant. ‘The county commissioners 
have not yet made their decree on 
Pine st., but they are to meet the 
board of selectmen Monday, it ‘s 
said, and it is possible that something 
definite in the line of a report will 
be made at the meeting Monday 
night. The selectmen will also make 
a report at that time on the matter 
of street lights, which was held over 
at the time of the March meeting 
until this adjourned meeting. We 
understand the Manchester Electric 
Co. has made a proposition to the 
town for installing electric lights in- 
stead of the present very unsatisfac- 
tory system of lights furnished by 
the Welsbach people. We _ under- 
stand the electric company will be 
able to furnish lights with a saving 
of about 25 cents a light per year to 
the town. The company will place 
all of its wires and connections un- 
derground, the cost to the company 
being in the vicinity of $30,000. 
While the saving to the town would 
be only $125 a year, it ought to be 
worth something to the citizens to 
know that they are going to have 
lighted streets instead of very poor 
condition of lighting given of late 
by the Welsbach company. The fig- 
ure to be furnished by the company 
will include extra strong lights in the 
central portion of the town. 
EMPIRE THEATRE, SALEM. 
At the Empire Theatre, Salem, 
Saturday matinee and evening and 
all next week except Tuesday the 
Empire Stock Co. presents James A. 
Hearn’s beautiful old fashioned 
drama, “Shore Acres.” No play of 
modern times has met the success of 
this drama and it combines all the 
elements necessary to ‘reach the 
hearts of the spectators. The beauti- 
ful character of Uncle Nat, the 
quaint, homelike scenes and the sim- 
ple, heart to hear story with its un- 
dercurrent of strong-feeling and its’ 
approach to tragedy, appeal to thea- 
tre-goers. ‘Shore Acres” was made 
famous by James A. Hearn, who, by 
his incomparable acting placed Uncle 
Nat among utmost pleasant mem- 
ories. 
A great deal of care is being be- 
stowed on the stage settings at the 
Empire Theatre and beautiful and 
realistic scenic effects are promised.
