BoARD OF ASSESSORS. 
Strangers who visit Manchester 
and find it necessary to use the tele- 
‘phone in the depot of the Boston & 
Maine there find that they have no 
simple task in getting connections 
with the operator. The booth is in 
a dark corner of the station and the 
telephone apparatus is of the old 
fashioned variety, one of those that 
necessitates turning a crank with 
press a 
button on the side of the box with 
the other hand. Persons unaccus- 
tomed to this kind of ’phone usually 
find the crank and give it a turn, 
but the button ‘s overlooked until 
some kindly native comes to their 
aid.—Boston Post.

An informal meeting of the lead- 
ing lights in the Democratic cause 
in town was held last evening at 
Carpenters’ hall when George A, 
Schofield of Ipswich, candidate for 
Senator, and Charles D. Smith of 
Gloucester, candidate for represen- 
tative, met about 25 of the voters to 
get in touch with the people. Mr, 
Schofield was formerly senator from 
this district. He has been on the 
board of selectmen in Ipswich for 
the last seventeen years. Mr. Smith 
run for the district attorney’s berth 
last year. 
Mud Flats Disappearing 
Much has been said jokingly about 
the mud flats, but if Manchester 
could make the progress in the next 
five years that has been made in the 
last summer there would be no mud 
flats in Manchester. How many of 
our people know that about 60,000 
cubic yards of mud has been dredged 
from the harbor the last summer? 
It is very evident at low tide, for 
there is considerable of a basin in 
the inner harbor and a_ splendid 
large anchorage basin in the harbor 
outside the railroad bridge. The 
main channel, too, has been widened 
and cut away and another large slice 
of mud has been removed from the 
vicinity of Masconomo park. The 
town paid from the selectmen’s ac- 
count $3000 fgr this work, the park 
commissioners paid from their aec- 
count $500, but the main part of the 
work was done by the state, about 
$15,000 being spent in Manchester’s 
behalf, $6,000 of which was given 
the state by the town. 
This is a great thing for the town 
—this dredging. Manchester has 
been unduly endowed by nature in 
its wooded shore and natural beauty. 
The town ought to be willing to lay. 
out a few thousand dollars every 
year to improve the water facili- 
ties. The big hole left this year af- 
ter the 60,000 yards of mud was re- 
moved only emphasises what can be 
done if the thing is handled right. 
Nothing should be put in the way of — 
this project; it should be carried 
through every year without a hitch. 
The selectmen are to petition the 
state for still more work along this 
line the coming year. They now 
propose to cut a channel through the 
Glass Head flats, thus doing away 
with the obstreperous bow-shaped — 
channel at the harbor’s — entrance.. 
This would be a wonderful improve- . 
ment and would go a long way to- — 
ward putting Manchester on the 
map as a safe harbor. a
