VOLUME 5B. NUMBER 6 
SATURDAY, FEB. 9, 1907. 
Through no fault of the editor iast 
week a very unfortunate error was 
made in the view on the front page of 
the paper. The wrong cut was 
printed, thus making the accompany- 
ing description ridiculous. Instead of 
printing a picture of Union street, 
Manchester, of 64 years ago, a view 
taken last summer at Old Neck was 
printed by mistake. 
“If Candlemas day be fair and bright 
Winter will have another flight. 
If the day be dull and drear, 
Winter is over, Spring is near.” 
Last Saturday was ‘ Candlemas 
Day”’ and according to the wisdom of 
the Ground Hog, the backbone of 
winter is broken. Though Saturday 
started off pretty good in showing the 
“‘ spring is near,’ it did not keep up 
the reputation, for winter has been 
very much in evidence since then. 
The North Shore need have no fear 
of an ice famine next year. The ice 
men have been very fortunate this 
winter ; or perhaps, it would be better 
to say we are the fortunate ones. 
We can’t complain of high prices of 
ice, though. We were well treated 
last summer during the “famine,” 
being called upon to pay but a small 
increase in comparison to other towns 
in our immediate vicinity even. 
The steam railroads paid into the 
state treasury last year the amount of 
$1,597,063. Of this money paid to 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
the state as franchise tax, $996,767.94 
was distributed to the different cities 
and towns on the basis of the owner- 
ship of stock in each place. Man- 
chester fared well in the distribution 
receiving $8915.17, the third largest 
of any city or town in the county. 
Beverly received $7943.53, Glouces- 
ter $946.63, Essex, $16.39, Rockport, 
$10.38. 
There is some little talk being made 
in Manchester toward inserting a 
warrant in the Town Warrant for 
raising the wages for a day’s work at 
town labor from $2 to £2.25. This 
does not appear unreasonable, consid- 
ering the present cost of living, and 
we think an issue of this kind would 
be successfully met. An order has 
just been introduced in the Common 
Council at Salem for this same thing. 
Another matter which will probably 
come before the town in March will 
be that of street lighting, as there is 
talk in some circles of inserting an 
article in the warrant to have the 
lights on every night in the year. At 
present the lights are supposed not to 
be lighted four nights in the month, 
two nights before a full moon, the 
night of the full moon, and the night 
following, except on stormy nights. 
The complaint is made that. there are 
lots of stormy nights that the lights 
are not lighted, two weeks ago last 
night being one of the nights. The 
BREEZE man inquired into the proba- 
ble additional cost and finds that it 
will be in the vicinity of $562. 
We are indebted to G. E. Willmon- 
ton fora copy of the Jamaica Daily 
Telegraph printed on Jan. 22, a week 
following the earthquake. This was 
the first issue published after the 
quake and it givesa most vivid ac- 
count of the terrible disaster. In 
commenting on the Gov. Swettenham 
—Adm. Davis incident the paper 
says editorially : 
“But his (the governor’s) behaviour 
in a moment of great peril and diffi- 
culty, has not been worthy ofa re- 
sponsible British official or even of a 
cultured English gentleman. The let- 
ter he addressed to Rear Admiral 
Davis is a production of which he 
ought to be ashamed.”
