NEW BY-LAWS 
WiLL, BE TAKEN Up At ADJOURNED 
Town MeEstTiING Next Mon- 
DAY EVENING. 
A number of changes, more or less 
radical, are proposed in the by-laws 
submitted to the voters of Manches- 
ter for consideration at the adjourned 
town meeting to be held next Mon- 
day evening, March 19. Some of 
the changes suggested by the com- 
mittee, after a good deal of painstak- 
ing consideration, are decidedly ad- 
vantageous. Others are of doubtful 
value. 
The town, at a special town meet- 
ing held on Wednesday evening, 
September 8, 1915, voted that the 
moderator appoint a committee of 
three to revise the by-laws. The 
nominating committee named by the 
moderator consisted of the then board 
of selectmen. At an adjourned 
meeting on Wednesday evening, Sep- 
tember 15, 1916, the board reported 
that they had nominated a committee 
of three, composed of George R. 
Dean, Thomas Baker and Charles C. 
Dodge, to revise the by-laws. The 
committee was authorized to employ 
such assistance as it might require. 
The committee has prepared a new 
set of by-laws, having called into con- 
sultation practically every officer and 
board in the town. They have also 
consulted with every town in the 
state and have received valuable sug- 
gestions from many of them. A 
great deal of valuable assistance has 
been rendered the committee by. the 
office of the Attorney-General in the 
way of preliminary criticism. 
No new by-laws were attempted 
relative to the assessors, overseers of 
the poor, board of health, school com- 
mittee, superintendent of _ streets, 
sealer of weights and measures, park 
commissioners, sewerage department, 
fire department and certain other de- 
partments, which are taken care of 
by the statutes of the Commonwealth, 
or are not subject to town by-laws. 
One of the important changes 
which is proposed is the setting for- 
ward of the date of the annual town 
meeting. If the new by-laws are 
adopted the annual meeting will here- 
after be held on the second Monday 
evening in February instead of the 
first Monday in March. The text of 
the proposed section of Article I, re- 
lative to the date of annual town 
meetings is as follows: 
“The annual town meeting shall be 
held on the second Monday evening 
in February and shall begin not 
earlier than seven o’clock. 
“The meeting shall be adjourned 
to the next day, Tuesday, for the 
election of town officers and for vot-
