CHESTER $9,500 IN DREDGING 
ee MANCHESTER Harpor. 
__ The adjourned Town Meeting in 
_ Manchester, Monday evening, was at- 
_ tended by about 150 voters and passed 
off without a word of discussion, 
some $23,400 being appropriated in 
the thirty-two minutes the meeting 
lasted. It was voted to spend $5,700 
_ for moving the fire station to the cen- 
ter of the lot on which it is located 
‘on School street, $3,700 for the con- 
struction of a sidewalk on Summer 
‘and Raymond streets; $4,500 for the 
purchase of a wood-lot on Pleasant 
street, of about 8 1-3 acres, and 
$9,500 for dredging. In addition to 
_the latter figure, the state is to spend 
$4,000 with $6,000 of the town’s 
money to dredge between the rail- 
road bridge and Point of Rocks, the 
town will spend $3,000 under ‘the 
direction of the selectmen, $2,900 in 
the inner harbor and $100 outside, 
and $500 will be spent under the di- 
rection of the park commissioners. 
Moderator Allen called the meet- 
‘ing to order at 7.35. Chairman E. S. 
Knight, of the board of selectmen, 
read the report of the committee on 
‘moving the fire station. The building 
vill be moved some ten feet westerly 
om the street and twenty feet 
mortherly, The cost wil! include the 
"construction of a retaining wall in 
‘the rear, granolithic walks, the turn- 
ing and removing of the stable. The 
work will be done at a cost of $5,700, 
under the direction of a committee 
composed of James Hoare, E. S. 
Knight and Horace Standley. 
_ Chairman Knight offered the mo- 
tion for the appropriation of $6,000 
for dredging to be used in connection 
with $4,000 offered by the state. 
‘The work will provide for the widen- 
ing of the channel between Point of 
Rocks and the railroad bridge and 
the enlargening of the anchorage 
basin. : 
Mr. Knight stated that in accord- 
ance with the acts of 1909, $100,000 is 
_to be spent by the state each year for 
‘three years, and of this sum such 
amounts will be allotted to towns and 
cities as are willing to spend money 
‘themselves for the work. 
He offered another motion that the 
Harbor and Land Commissioners be 
asked for an allotment for additional 
‘dredging in 1912 to be spent for work 
beyond Point of Rocks. 
Three thousand dollars for dredg- 
‘ing the inner harbor and $500 for 
dredging at Masconomo Park were 
voted without discussion.

Under Art. 39, the matter of build- 
ing sidewalk in the eastern part of 
town came up. M. Kehoe of the com- 
mittee, stated that the committee had 
gone over the ground and had_ had 
plans prepared by an engineer, and 
the plans were submitted tonight. C. 
L. Crafts would like to see the side- 
walk cross Summer street near Mr. 
Kehoe’s house instead of farther 
along down Raymond street, going 
down on the right hand side of the 
latter street. 
Mr. Kehoe thought the walk ought 
to be built on the left hand side of 
Raymond street, crossing Summer 
street at its junction with Raymond. 
G. S. Sinnicks thought the plan as 
presented was all right. O. T. Rob- 
erts also favored it. 
FE. P. Standley moved to refer the 
whole matter back to committee for 
revision. Lost. The original motion 
to build the walk at a cost of $3,700 
was voted almost unanimously. 
Under Art. 45, the matter of pur- 
chasing strip of land known as “Dark 
Woods,” on Pleasant street, near the 
junction of Pine was reported upon 
by the special committee appointed at 
the meeting last week. .C. L. Crafts 
read the report. The committee rec- 
ommended the purchase of this whole 
lot, instead of the strip. The lot con- 
tains about 8 1-3 acres, and adjoins 
the Moses Hill property on the north, 
the stone crusher property on the east, 
Pleasant street on the south, and the 
Carter-Kinsman lot on the west. ‘The 
committee recommended the purchase 
of the whole strip at an option price 
of $4,500. O. T. Roberts moved the 
acceptance of the report and the adop- 
tion of the recommendations. Voted. 
M. E. Gorman stated that at the 
April adjournment he would call for 
a reconsideration of the motion passed 
at the last meeting whereby the matter 
of building a new dam at Central 
street was left in the hands of select- 
men. He would offer this motion on 
the request of Mr. Rust, who was un- 
able to be present at tonight’s meet- 
ing. 
B. F. Foster moved that all the 
street lights in town be lighted every 
night throughout the year. 
M. C. Dodge thought this a need- 
less expense, and that it was unneces- 
sary to light the lights on moonlight 
nights. 
P. H. Boyle did not agree with Mr. 
Dodge. He said the moon was not 
always out on schedule and the smail 
cost of keeping: the lights two extra 
nights each month would be small 
compared to the advantage gained. 
It was voted to have the streets 
lighted 365 nights of the year.
