TOWN WARRANT 
MANY INTERESTING MATTERS TO BE 
PRESENTED: TO“VOTERS ON 
oat atacand 8e 
In the last issue of the BrreEzK the 
Warrant for the’ annual meeting of 
the Town of Manchester..was pub- 
lished. A number~ of matters of 
more than ordinary...anterest. are, to 
éoime before the votérs this year. 
Aside. from,the usual appropriations 
and election.of officers several special 
appropriations will be, considered. 
Articlé 48’ of the’ Warrant is being 
freely ‘discussed »among’ those who 
have read‘ thesarticle? It asks the 
Town to appropriate the sum. of 
$5000 for the campaign for the eli- 
mination of mosquitoes started on 
the North Shore last fall. The appro- 
priation is recommended by the 
Board of "Health in its. report to the 
towns -Beverly-is-said.to have appro- 
priated already a like amount and 
some $20,000 has been raised among 
the ‘stuamér fésidents ,for the work. 
Unless the Town of Manchester con- 
tributes the amount requested, it is 
said, the committee in charge of the 
campaign will face a deficit of that 
amount. 
Other special appropriations are 
called for, but for less amounts. The 
fire department is handicapped by the 
fact. thatthe team usedyat present is 
too light for the work and a heavier 
pair of horses’ is urgently needed. 
The department asks for an appro- 
priation of $400 for this purpose. 
The department also needs $700, in 
addition to the regular budget, for 
painting and repairs to the fire 
station. 
The matter of dredging the harbor 
will again-come before, the town for 
consideration... Last::year it was left 
with the Selectmen, forj;action. 
A ‘petition ‘has: been|presented by 
George FE. Willmonton. and others for 
the construction of a new granolithic 
sidewalk on Union st. from the 'prop- 
erty of the late Claudius B. Hoyt to 
the corner of School st., and on 
School st. from Union st. to the prop- 
erty of the late Charles Hooper. The 
article in the warrant asks an appro- 
priation of $300. .«Ehe,amprovement 
ic a needed ’one,-as) the present walk 
is sadly in want of, nepaita: «(| 
Another . sidewalk. improvement is 
asked by residents of Bennett, st. An 
appropriation of $700 is asked, for 
the purpose of laying a concrete walk 
onthe southerly side. of the. street 
from ‘Bridge st. to @¥ point on the 
westerly slope of the hill! Sidewalks 
are also requested..for._the ..easterly 
side of Essex st., appropriation, $450,

An appropriation of $280.17 1s 
asked to reimburse Thomas B. Dunn 
for the expense he underwent in 
raising the grade of his premises on 
Pine st. to correspond to the change 
of grade by the town in constructing 
the street. 
The town is asked to adopt the 
xew by-laws recommended by the 
special committee, and also to con- 
sider the adoption of Chapter 59 of 
the Acts of 1916 relating to the 
“holding of annual town meetings.” 
Another article provides for author- 
izing the town to license motor vehi- 
cles to carry passengers under the 
provisions of Chapter 292 of the 
Acts of 1916. 
The question of repairs to the con- 
crete standpipe will be revived. 
An interesting article in the war- 
rant revives the interest in the pro- 
posed Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monu- 
ment. A _ petition by Lyman W. 
Floyd and others asks the appoint- 
ment of a committee of five to act 
with the committee now in existence 
for the erection of a monument to 
the memory of the men of Manches- 
ter, who served in the War of the 
Rebellion, and asks the appropria- 
tion of such sum of money for the 
purpose as may be deemed advisable. 
Action to do away with the special 
ballot for moderator is proposed. It 
is petitioned that the town vote to 
elect the moderator for the term of 
cne year, such election to be upon the 
regular official ballot.

dances, which were highly pleasing.

Edward $. Knight, the president of 
the club, Misses Smith and Barr sang 
a duet, “Passage Birds’ Farewell.” 
The. next “number. a: solo, 2 Gar- 
mena,’ which was by Miss Smith, 
was well received and Miss. Barr’s 
solo from “Bohéme” was heartily ap- 
plauded. A piano solo by Miss Barr 
was an interlude to Miss Smith’s ap- 
pearance in the interpretative dance, 
“Narcissus.” Miss Barr. sang, in 
costume, a number of Scotch songs. 
Miss Smith, in pretty Italian costume, 
sang an Italian street song and re- 
sponded to an encore with:a pretty 
little ditty. Two translations of Ital- 
ian songs were sung as duets by 
Misses Smith and Barr. Miss Smith 
gave a reading, “Guiseppe,” as an in- 
terlude to the next,number. Miss 
Barr sang one of the numbers from 
“Madame Butterfly” and then a pop- 
ular rendition of, the theme of the 
play. The duet, ‘“Shadowland’’ fol- 
lowed. Miss Smith was particularly 
charming in her dance “Pierrot.”

Little Bit of Heaven” with decided 
effect. A duet, “Sunshine of Your 
Smile,” closed the program. 
Ice cream -and cake were served 
following the program. ) 
Dancing was enjoyed later in the 
evening.
