As to another town meeting on pur- 
chase of the Manchester Electric plant! 
It is not unlikely that another town meet- 
ing will be called in the near future to 
take action on the purchase of the Man- 
chester electric plant. It was thought 
by many that the vote of two weeks ago 
put the matter aside for two years at least. 
In aletter to Chairman E. S. Knight of 
the Board of Selectmen, W. O. Under- 
wood, the town counsel, says: 
‘*In my opinion a town can call as 
many meetings and at such times to vote 
upon this question as it seems fit until the 
necessary two-thirds vote has been ob- 
tained, after which in order that it may 
become effectual there must be a second 
meeting held not less than two nor more 
than 13 months thereafter. If at such 
second meeting the necessary two-thirds 
affirmative vote is secured the vote be- 
comes effectual, if then no new 
meeting can be held to consider the 
not, 
question within two years after the sec- 
ond vote. It therefore follows that the 
town of Manchester can now call one

or more meetings at any time it desires 
to consider the question unti] it has se- 
cured the first affirmative vote, after 
which the statute applies.’’ 
Asoutr un-mutied motor _ boats! 
While the Manchester board of health 
have done ail ia their power to have 
boats equipped with mzflcrs and have 
asked the co-operation of the harbor 
mmster inthis connection, Harbor !\les- 
ter Lations says he has not the legal pow- 
er as harbor master to enforce the ob- 
servance of the ordinance. He is _ will- 
ing to do all he can, and has done so in 
many instances, but he has no power to 
force anybody to equip their boats with 
mufHers. We make this statement in 
Mr. Lation’s behalf, inasmuch as our 
article of last week might seem to sug- 
gestthat Mr. Lations had full and com- 
plete power to enforce the regulations as 
~ made by the board. 
PassENGERS on the trains of the Bos- 
ton & Maine R. R., in passing through 
Beverly Farms may notice the unsightly 
dump, which is so, seemingly, on ac- 
count of lack of care on someone’s part. 
In spite of recent fires, still much com- 
bustible stuff remains there which should 
be speedily reduced to ashes. “The au- 
thorities at Manchester have ordered fire 
cages constructed especially to serve as a 
furnace for wooden boxes, barrels, pa- 
This should be done in the 
Something 
per, etc. 
case weare speaking about. 
should be done to lesson the untardy ap- 
pearance the dump presents. While it 
is true that the trains of nearly every rail- 
road pass just such places and we think 
little about it, yet, we cannot afford to 
have any pile of rubbish mar the Jand- 
scape of our beautiful North Shore.

To the Editor of the BREEZE: 
The statement was. made in your col- 
umns last week that no one opposed the 
granting of a license to the North Shore 
Grill. This is not a fair statement of the 
case. It is well known that many letters 
and petitions were addressed to the Board 
of License Commissioners in opposition 
to the Hesperus license. Probably every 
one of these, certainly most of them 
stated distinctly that the writer was op- 
posed to ‘“‘any license in Magnolia.’’ 
‘This means that there was the same op- 
position to the licensing of the Grill that 
there was to the licensing of the Hes- 
perus. 
The sentiment in the community has 
not changed. ‘The only reason why 
people did not write again to the licens- 
ing board is because it seemed a hopeless 
task. ‘heir wishes were ignored once. 
Why would they be considered the sec- 
ond time? ‘The licensing board believes 
sincerely, I think, that it is fostering busi- 
ness and therefore increasing the pros- 
perity of Magnolia. It regards those 
who oppose its policy on moral or other 
groundsas merely ““‘temperance cranks,”’ 
unworthy of consideration. “Che mem- 
bers of the board fail to see the possi- 
bility that they themselves may be the nar- 
row minded men in their single eye for 
the property interests involved. “They 
fail to see too that their policy will drive 
away some of our best people and that 
this may not be good “‘ business.”’ 
An illustration of their short sighted- 
ness is to be seen when one steps from 
the train at the Gloucester — station. 
Across the road from the station is a 
licensed barroom recently opened, out 
of which on a Saturday night a motly 
crowd issues to catch the last train home. 
A block farther along on Railroad avenue 
is another saloon standing on an import- 
ant corner. ‘The effect of these bar- 
rooms on the first impression formed of 
Gloucester by strangers is disastrous in 
the extreme. 
Before the licenses were granted this 
year a petition signed by 700 people was 
presented to the license board asking that 
no license be granted the last named 
saloon---the other did not then exist---for 
obvious reasons. ‘The result of this peti- 
tion is two saloons instead of one! 
This is the “* business’? policy of our 
honorable licensing board. 
The only hope under such conditions 
is anew board. One member of the 
board has completed his term within a 
fortnight and been replaced by, we hope, 
a broader minded man. ‘The terms of 
the others will expire in the fulness of 
time. They will not be renewed. We 
must be patient.
