COMMUNICATIONS 
A Few Words to the Voters of Manchester 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Town meeting is close at hand and 
I desire to place a few facts before the 
voters of this town. In the past, 
candidates for the important office of 
Selectmen have, without exception, 
been natives of this good old town, or 
at least adopted sons of such long 
standing that we know their loyalty 
and qualifications without question, 
but among the candidates this year is 
one Allen, a new arrival in Manches- 
ter, and perhaps a few words as to his 
past “loyalty” will be in order. 
We first hear of Mr. Allen in the 
famous Beach Bank case, he being a 
witness for the abuttors and as such, 
gave the court his opinion as to the 
amount of money the town should pay 
for land, that every native believed 
belonged to them and which finally 
cost the town rising $100,000. His 
testimony may be of interest, showing 
as it does his interest in the towns- 
people. The following is a matter of 
court record : 
Question by counsel for the town, 
Mr. Morse, as to whether the view 
from the Bullard estate of Singing 
Beach would be injured by giving the 
control of the beach into the hands of 
a responsible body, like a Board of 
Park Commissioners. 
Answer by Mr. Allen: “I think 
private control of this Beach is much 
better than public control.”’ 
—“Your opinion is then, that a 
Board of Park Commissioners as a 
rule is a very unsafe and dangerous 
body into whose hands to entrust the 
care of public property, do you?” 
A.—“Oh no, I didn’t say that; I 
say that this Beach in this specified 
case is of more value owned by private 
individuals than to put it into the use 
of the general public.” 
And then again we heard from this 
Lake-Croft Inn 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
same gentleman the past two seasons, 
raising his voice in loud protest against 
the police, in their enforcement of the 
automobile speed law and presumably 
of the opinion that autos should be 
allowed to race through our streets 
regardless of the lives and safety of 
our: wives and children. 
If you carefully consider these facts 
it should impress upon you the duty 
of re-electing the present Board of 
Selectmen, who have been tried and 
proven loyal to Manchester and her 
interests.

Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
In view of the fact that the Jocal 
papers appear to look at the candidacy 
of Mr. G. L. Allen as a joke, and fear- 
ing that our voters may carry this joke 
too far, and accept this candidate for 
what he looks rather than for what he 
is, I would like to call their attention 
to a few facts in reference to Mr. 
Allen. 
No man that talks as much as Mr. 
Allen can fail to say something good 
and wise once in a while, but I think 
the proportion of wisdom in_ his 
speeches is far too low to admit him 
to the table with the fathers of the 
town, and we very much fear that if 
he is admitted that he will tip over 
the tea or spill the soup and soil the 
linen that has been kept quite clean 
this last year. 
‘‘No man can serve two masters.’ 
The last time that Mr. Allen came in 
contact with the town he was against 
us, and his testimony was, at least, 
one of the contributing causes of our 
present park debt. He was against 
us again in our last law-suit. He is 
agaigst ou police department on the 
automobile question. He is against 
our street department. In fact, he is

Reserved Seats at Keith’s Theatre 
It seems fitting that the new plan 
of reserving seats at Keith’s Theatre, 
Boston, will go into effect on next 
Monday, March 4th, ‘Inauguration 
Day.’ In making this change it 
should not be thought that the prices 
are to be raised, for on the contrary 
the prices of many of the seats will be 
less than before, notably the first rows 
in the balcony, which will be sold for 
50 cents instead of $1.00, while the 
rows in the orchestra for which $1.50 
has been the price when sold reserved, 
will now be 75 cents for the after- 
noons, excepting Saturdays and _holi- 
days, and $1.00 for all evenings, includ- 
ing Saturdays and holidays. 
All seats in the orchestra and first 
balcony will be reserved, tickets sold 
for the afternoons being good up to 6 
p. m., while those purchased for the 
evenings will entitle the holder to the 
seat called for by the coupon after 6.30 
p.m. Seats canbe secured one week 
in advance. 
Another innovation will be the open- 
ing of subscription lists whereby 
patrons can secure the same _ seats 
each week, with the exception of Sat- 
urdays and holidays. 
The new plan will in, no way inter- 
fere with the continuous performance, 
for the doors will be open at 1.30 and 
the show will run until 10.30, as usual. 
The prices of admission will remain as 
before — orchestra, 50 cents ; first bal- 
cony, 35 cents, and second balcony, 25 
cents. There will be reserved seats 
at both of the first mentioned prices, 
but none at 25 cents, as the seats in 
the second balcony will not be re- 
served. 
The principal feature at Keith’s 
next week and one of even more than 
usual importance will be the great 
English actor, R.A. Roberts. Mr. 
Roberts is to appear in his famous 
portean sketch, “ Dick Turpin,” in 
which he portrays several incidents in 
the life of that notorious highwayman, 
playing all of the characters himself. 
Mr. Roberts was the originator of this 
line of work for the vaudeville stage, 
and is yet without an equal.
