MANCHESTER 
Much interest is being manifested 
| in the proposition to abandon Proc- 
tor street on Smith’s Point, and the 
construction of a new street to the 
| point along the water front. The 
proposition on the face of it seems 
good. The new road would leave 
Beach street almost opposite Old 
Neck Road (the new street to Old 
| Neck) and would skirt the harbor, 
| coming out at the entrance to the 
Charles Read estate. This would 
give a road over a level way, and 
| would obviate the neeessity of the 
| long pull over Masconomo hill. It 
would considerably shorten the dis- 
tance to Smith’s Point and would be 
another step in beautifying our 
water front, as this section of the 
| harbor will eventually be a beauty 
| spot; especially if the plans to im- 
| prove our marine park are carried 
| out. The water in Day’s Creek will 
some day be locked in. It is hoped 
the citizens will attend the hearings 
next Thursday afternoon in the se- 
lectmen’s room and express them- 
| selves freely on the matter. Plans 
| have been prepared and may be seen 
| at any time. It is understood the 
| road can be built with practically 
| no land damage, as the abuttors 
would gladly give land for the new 
| road. in exchange for what they 
| would gain by the abandonment of 
| Proctor street.

| Despite the inclement weather, 
| the Town hall was well filled Wed- 
-nesday evening to hear Rev. Henry 
_R. Rose in his stereopticon lecture 
“With Longfellow in Evangeline 
| Land.’’ Dr. Rose started from 
| Portland and by his very beautiful 
| pictures and descriptive talk carried 
| his hearers to the Cape Breton 
‘coast and ‘‘ Evangeline Land.”’ 
| Events and incidents of the trip 
| were very interestingly introduced 
| during the lecture and made it var- 
| ied and entertaining. The lecture 
| was given under the auspices of the 
Woman’s club. 
| Byron Dukeshire, driver for Se- 
mons & Littlefield, met with a pain- 
| ful accident, while at his work Mon- 
day on the P. Dexter estate. The 
heavy wagon was backed up to the 
bank, from which large rocks were 
| being taken. One of the rocks fell, 
striking Mr. Dukeshire’s ankle and 
| leg. He was taken to one of the 
doctors where it was found that 
| though no bones were broken the 
| limb was badly bruised.

A bad break in the water main on 
Union street, at the head of Beach 
street, sent a stream of water into 
the air yesterday afternoon, and fa 
flooded the street before it was (GEO. WwW. HOOPER,

it is thought, by the blasting re- 
cently done in connection with wid-

break was not repaired until well FIRST-CLASS GROCERIES
