Out SPIRITED MEETING 
One of the most spirited meetings 
in recent years, and one that was 
largely attended, was that of last 
Monday night in Manchester, to con- . 
sider the question of substituting elec- 
tric lights for the Welsbach gas lights 
now in use. It was finally voted to 
defer the matter to the annual meet- 
ing in March. 
The first business of the evening 
was the reconsideration of the article 
in the warrant calling for the accept- 
ance of Putnam’s court, so-called, 
which had been passed over at the 
first meeting. Several spoke in favor 
of this action and it was shortly voted 
that the lay-out be accepted and al- 
lowed, and $50.70 was appropriated 
for the land damage to be awarded 
to Mrs. John Griffin, the amount to 
be transferred from the excess and 
deficiency account. 
Art. 9—reports of committees—was 
next under consideration, and this 
meant the report of the special com- 
mittee on electric lighting. For fully 
a minute the meeting assumed the 
aspect of the proverbial quaker meet- 
ing, nobody offering to speak on the 
issue One way or another. But this 
proved to be the lull before the storm 
that was brewing. 
Frank P. Knight, in order to bring 
the matter before the town, moved 
that the town accept the proposition 
of the Manchester Electric Co., for 
furnishing electric lights for the 
streets of Manchester, as contained in 
the report of the committee on elec- 
tric lighting. 
Chairman Ralph Henry Barbour of 
the committee spoke at length on the 
‘question, his remarks referring espe- 
cially to the communication in the 
Breeze of the week before. Mr. Bar- 
bour said that the electric lights 
would be provided with a 15 percent 
reflector, which would tend to throw 
the light a maximum distance. As to 
the matter of lamps burning out and 
passing all the degrees of candlepow- 
er from 60 to o, he thought this 
could be provided for in the contract 
with the company. Referring to the 
possibility of interruptions in the 
service he said it would not be long 
duration at any time. He felt it was 
good business to patronize local in- 
dustries, to say the least, and not 
have to deal with a firm away off in 
Philadelphia. In reference to the 
Welsbach Co. giving a possible better 
price next year, he was in doubt. He 
said the proposed war tax of 2c, a 
gallon on gasoline had resulted in a
