MANCHESTER 
When one sees the boys and young 
‘men of the town loafing around the 
street corners and leaning against 
‘the shop windows in the center of 
the town, he is impressed by the fact 
that Manchester is very much in 
need of some public reading room, 
and place where young men and 
boys can. go to spend an evening. 
Some talk has been made in recent 
years of starting a fund for a YMCA 
building in town. But that ended it, 
apparently. We have no YMCA; 
there is great need of some such 
Young men that congregate 
on the street corners are as a rule 
a very objectionable feature. They 
are doing nothing of good to them- 
selves, and very often they pass ob- 
jectional and sometimes insulting re- 
marks, to passersby.

There has been a slight shake-up 
in the police department the present 
week. Officer Stoops has been taken 
from the Cove and is to cover the 
West Manchester beat, while Officer 
Sheehan has been taken off the West 
Manchester beat and will cover the 
center of the town with Sergeant 
Andrews. Officer Lee is taken from 
the center and will cover the Cove. 
Special Officer Morgan, who has been 
‘on duty during the summer season, 
is taken off detail duty for the 
winter. — 
New Street? 
One of the most progressive moves 
undertaken in Manchester for some 
time, in the line of improvements, is 
that which looks toward the abolish- 
ing of Proctor street and the laying 
out of a new street to Smith’s Point, 
which will skirt the harbor and run 
on a level way from Beach street, 
opposite Old Neck road to the pres- 
ent end of Proctor street, at the en- 
trance to the Charles Read estate. 
This would do away with the steep 
and dangerous Masconomo Hill for 
those who now go to Smith’s Point 
by way of Proctor street, and would 
cut five minutes off the time it takes 
to travel between the Point and the 
The new way 
would be on a level with Beach 
street, all the way. It is understood 
that the right of way for this new 
road could be obtained with practi- 
cally no cost. Much of the road 
would be over the edge of the har- 
bor. The grocers and marketmen 
particularly would appreciate the 
advantage of this new road, as the 
present long pull over Masconomo 
hill is always hazardous and at times 
State Supervision Means Much 
Year by year the State of Massachusetts’ supervision of Trust 
Companies is becoming more rigid and the qualifications of the 
bank examiners, who are obliged by law to make frequent examina- 
tions, is reaching higher efficiency. 
The Massachusetts Banking laws make every stockholder of 
this bank liable to depositors for twice the amount of stock owned. 
Add to these safeguards the management of affairs by our effi- 
cient officiers and directors three of whom are Presidents of success- 
ful banks, and the semi-annual inspection by the stockholders 
examining committee, and you can feel absolutely secure in placing 
your account here.
