TOWN MEETING 
GREAT AMOUNT OF DISCUSSION OVER 
ADOPTION OF PROPOSED 
By-Laws. 
A little over two hours was spent 
i adopting or rejecting the pro- 
visions of the first four articles in the 
proposed by-laws’ for the Town of 
Manchester at an adjourned meeting 
held for the purpose on Monday eve- 
ning. More than half of the time was 
spent in getting under way, smooth- 
ing over misunderstandings and over- 
coming the objections to the first 
three sections of Art. I. 
The meeting was called to order at 
7.38 by Moderator Raymond C. Allen 
and Art. 38 of the Town warrant 
taken from the table. The action on 
the article was deferred by the unani- 
mous consent of the meeting until 
the report of the resolutions commit- 
tee upon the retirement of Alfred 5. 
Jewett as town clerk was read by 
Henry T. Bingham. The _ report, 
which was in the form of a congratu- 
latory resolution, was adopted by a 
unanimous rising vote. 
George S. Sinnicks moved for un- 
animous consent of the meeting to 
consider Art. 43 next. Consent be- 
ing given, Mr. Sinnicks offered the 
resignation of Oliver Roberts. as a 
member of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ 
Monument committee. The resigna- 
tion left two vacancies on the com- 
mittee, which was appointed at the 
annual meeting. The moderator 
named Rev. A. G. Warner and 1. 'M. 
Marshall to fill the vacancies. 
The by-laws committee struck a 
snag immediately when action was 
called for under Art. 38. . Jeffrey 5. 
Reed moved that the proposed by- 
laws be tabled and James Beaton 
seconded the motion. George R. Dean 
of the by-laws committee thought the 
town should have a set of by-laws. 
He rehearsed the history of the by- 
laws committee’s work and that of 
previous committees. He said the 
committee had put in over a year of 
rard work in drawing up the new by- 
laws, that the town counsel had been 
called upon for advice and a prelim- 
inary draft submitted to the Attorney 
General’s office. He declared all de- 
partments had had an opportunity te 
appear before the committee. He 
said the by-laws were second to none 
in the state and ought to go before 
the meeting, at least. 
Thomas Baker thought the motion 
was foolish and extravagant as the 
town had gone to the expense of 
securing the new by-laws and the 
money would be thrown away if they 
were not accepted in some form. He 
urged some action even if only a por- 
tion of them were adopted. He
