point committees that seem to. me 
to be best fitted whether in the front

row or in the back. If the voters 
don’t like that you can find a rem- 
edy at the next meeting.” 
EK. P. Stanley moved that the sum 
of $2500 be appropriated to dredge 
within the limits of the U. S. survey 
of channel between the draw in the 
railroad and Town wharf, and that 
this money be expended under the 
direction of the dredging commit- 
tee to be appointed by the meeting. 
Mr. Stanley explained that the 
dredging committee had not made a 
report because its work was not in 
shape to report. It was largely 
through the efforts of the late J. H. 
P. Dodge the original appropriation 
was made. The appropriation of 
$5000 which Cong. Gardner. had put 
in the bill this year was stricken 
out. We thought it best to get an 
appropriation into the state bill 
which we have done with the as- 
sistance of Senator Shaw and we 
are trying to get $8000 from _ the 
state to dredge between the railroad 
bridge and Rocky Point in case we 
appropriate $2500 for the inside 
work. We have commercial inter- 
ests which demand something be- 
ing done. Our boat building busi- 
ness is $40,000 a year. Coal deal-

O. T. Roberts said he was inter- 
ested in a general way. “I believe,” 
he said, “it is for the good of the 
town to have all approaches to the 
town good. We have improved our 
streets and the entrances into the 
town in that direction are exceed- 
ingly beautiful. Mr. Fenton, I be- 
lieve, would employ the dredger to 
dig out a pool at his place, so that 
he could launch his boats.” 
Mr. Roberts also stated that al- 
most all the shore people are in 
favor of this appropriation. The 
vote was unanimously in favor.

purpose of putting this article into 
the warrant to purchase this land 
from G. S. Sinnicks was because the 
commissioners felt the town should 
own this piece of land and keep the 
park free from all obstructions: 
G. S. Sinnicks said the land which 
he owned on Beach street he want- 
ed to improve last year. He applied 
to the Harbor and Land Commis- 
sioners and just at that time several 
people of the town objected and at 
the hearing the Park Commissioners 
offered objection and your  select- 
men objected also. “The commis- 
sioners asked if the town would be 
willing to purchase this land if town 
meeting was held and asked me if 
I would wait till that time. They 
saw fit to withhold from me the 
right to improve the land. ‘The 
town should either give me the priv- 
ilege of improving it or they should 
purchase it. Our Finance Commit- 
tee recommend that the price of 
$1550 be paid for it. That is just 
what I paid for it, gentlemen. It 
seems hardly fair to sell it for just 
its cost. All I ask is to beveuses 
square. I have had to pay for en- 
gineers’ fees and other things brings 
the cost to $1673. A pile struetare 
will probably be built if I can im- 
prove the property.”
