VOLUME 5. NUMBER 10 
SATURDAY, MAR. 9, 1907. 
In Ipswich the office of Selectman, 
Assessor and Overseer of the Poor is 
a three-years’ job. Ex-Senator Geo. 
A. Schofield was re-elected to the 
office at Tuesday’s election for three 
years. He beat his nearest competi- 
tor by 353 votes, which shows that 
Mr. Schofield is held in much favor in 
his home town. 
Everybody seems to have received 
an increase in pay at the hands of the 
Manchester voters but the police. 
They now receive $2.50 a day,— ten 
cents more than town laborers, who 
now will receive $2.40. Manchester 
should not be behind other places in 
this regard and should give the patrol- 
men $2.75 or $3.00 a day. It is likely 
this matter will be brought up at the 
next meeting. 
The adjourned Town Meeting in 
Manchester will be held next Monday 
evening at 7 o’clock. There are yet 
30 or more articles which have not 
been acted upon or which require 
still further action. The most im- 
portant matter, probably, will be the 
question of purchasing the piece of 
land on Beach street adjoining the 
park. Though this was voted down 
twice Tuesday night and did not re- 
ceive the necessary two-thirds vote the 
third time, the opinion seems to be 
that the land ought to be purchased. 
The town will certainly gain nothing 
by holding this matter over for the 
town will sometime have to purchase 
it ; it will be far better to do so nowat 
the figure stated than to go toany fur- 
ther trouble in the matter. 
The annual report of the county 
treasurer and the county commission- 
ers for 1906 has been issued and the 
following may be of interest to Man- 
chester folk: Manchester paid for 
county taxes, $13,350.20; the amount 
paid for dog taxes, $342.20, returned, 
$278.18; the damage done by dogs 
was $15.15, of which Fred K. Swett 
received $6, and John H. Osborne 
$1.40 for appraiser’s services; for 
damages, E. P. Stanley received $2, 
John Baker $38, Cornelius Pain $2, 
N.C. Marshall 75 cents. 
Highway Surveyor George Kimball, 
formerly of Danvers, isan issue in the 
spring election at Manchester, where 
he has served successfully for a num- 
ber of years. It seems that a wealthy 
citizen of the town has taken a notion 
that Mr. Kimball should be retired, 
and is running for selectman witha 
view of dispensing with Mr. Kimball’s 
services. The NortTH SHORE BREEZE 
puts it up to this aspirant in a strong 
manner, stating that it considers Sur- 
veyor Kimball one of the best men in 
the state at the road-making business. 
Manchester has about 30 miles of 
streets and appropriates something 
like $30,000 for them annually. Dan- 
vers, with more than double the street 
area, appropriates scarcely more than 
a third of that amount.— Salem Even- 
ing News. 
Park Commissioners 
The Park Commissioners have or- 
ganized as last year with D. T. Beaton 
as chairman and _ secretary. They 
have re-appointed John Desmond as 
caretaker at Beach street park, and 
Arthur U. McCormack as caretaker 
at Singing beach. 
Selectmen Organize 
The Manchester Board of Select- 
men met Tuesday following Monday’s 
election, and organized with F. K, 
Swett as chairman and W. R. Bell 
secretary, the same as last year. They 
made the first of their appointments 
In re-appointing George Kimball 
superintendent of streets fof the 12th 
consecutive year. Mr. Kimball, much 
less than being ousted from his office, 
enters upon his new year of service 
with an addition of $300 to his salary, 
voted by the town Tuesday evening. 
N. S. H. S. Notes 
J. W. Duncan, assistant superin- 
tendent of the Boston park depart- 
ment, will lecture on ‘“ Trees and 
Shrubs,” at the next meeting of the 
N.S. H. Society, in Lee’s Hall, Man- 
chester, March 15, at 730 pm. A

pected, and an invitation is extended 
to any who are interested in this sub-
