TOWN MEETING AT MANCHESTER 
Continued from page J. 
Moderator Allen met this fair and 
square and flatly refused to entertain 
the motion taking as his ground not only 
that the matter couldn’t be acted upon 
because it did not appear in the warrant, 
but because of its unconstitutionality as a 
measure. The sense of the meeting was 
taken informally, however, and though 
strongly in favor the vote could not be 
taken in the least manner as being legal 
or as having any weight whatever. 
The meeting adjourned to next Wed- 
nesday evening, at 7.30.

What was Said and Done at 
Manchester Town Meeting- 
The meeting was called to order 
at 7.30: by, Moderator mA liens > Arti- 
cle 2 was called for by E. P. Stanley 
who.made a_ brief’ supplementary 
report, op thepcollectors ote. baxes: 
The auditor’s report was then ac- 
cepted. 
Att. 96. Tishways. FE. > 
Knight of the Finance Committee 
stated that the amounts recom- 
mended by the committee were for 
labor as it existed prior to the vote 
passed for increasing wages. An 
increase of ZO per cent ishould ‘be 
added to the figures given. Accord- 
ingly it was voted that $18,000 be 
appropriated for maintenance of the 
highway department, to include sal- 
ary of the superintendent; $3000 for 
crushing stone, and $3600 for con- 
creting 
Art. 7. Norwood ave. extension. 
The Finance Committee recom- 
mended at 10 per cent. grade. Supt. 
Kimball took exceptions to this, 
stating that an 8 per cent. grade 
would prove more acceptable in the 
long run. He said the layout of the 
street was accepted last year with 
an 8 per cent. grade. Mr. Kimball 
moved that the street be built with 
an 8 per cent. grade and $60CO be 
appropriated for the work. 
Mr. Kimball remarked still fur- 
ther that: Lincoln street: at the 
point where it would join with the 
new street had a grade of 6 per cent. 
It would be bad to have too steep a 
grade leaving Lincoln street, and as 
the. 8 percent verade swouldmcast 
only about $900 more he thought 
the town would benefit by it in the 
end. By way of explanation he 
said that Masconomo hill had a 10 
per cent. grade, while Beach street 
coming into Union had an 8 per 
cent. grade. 
John Baker. “This matter came 
before the Finance Committee and 
we considered this street being a 
cross street would not get very 
heavy travel. The street is very 
short and $6000 is a large amount 
to spend on it.” He offered an 
amendment that the street be built 
with a 10 per cent. grade. 
The Moderator said the street 
layout had already been accepted 
with an 8 per cent. layout. 
W. C. Rust said he thought, in 
looking the matter over, an 8 per 
cent. grade would be the better. 
P. H. Boyle said that later that 
street would be built upon and as we 
want things to look well, wouldn’t 
it be better for the town to pay the 
difference and have the 8 per cent. 
grade? 
Austin Morley also spoke in favor 
of the 8 per cent gradesmehere 
isn’t more travel over any street in 
town than over Norwood ave., he 
said. ie 
The amendment (10 per cent.) 
was put and did not prevail. The 
original motion (8 per cent.) was 
carried by a decided majority. 
Art. 14. $500 was appropriated 
for care and improvements of Wen- 
ham road. 
Art. 16. $100 was appropriated 
for clearing snow from Central 
pond. | 
Art. 51. ,Band Concerts. Called 
for by Wm. F. Spry, who moved 
that the sum of $500 be appropriated 
for a series of nine band concerts to 
be given by the Manchester-by-the- 
Sea band, and that the matter be 
placed in the hands of the select- 
men. 
A. C. Needham said on behalf of 
the Finance Committee, that the 
committee did not recommend an - 
appropriation because it felt the cit- 
izens might like to hear some other | 
band than the one called for in the 
article. 7 
W.C. Rust offered an amendment 
to the effect that seven of. the con- 
certs be given by the local band and 
two by some other band, adding 
that he would like a change once in 
a while. 
C. O. Howe. “Do I understand 
that $500 covers the whole bill?” 
Moderator. “Yes 
Mr. Howe. “Perhaps the other 
two concerts will cost $500 each.” 
Mr. Spry said that the approxi- 
mate cost of out-of-town bands 
would be $80, whereas it would be 
about $56 in town . 
Mr. Rust. “If $500 isn’t enough 
to give us a change let us have. 
more. This is something which 
gives us pleasure and I think we are
