Camp Commander W. R. Bell wel-

years ago there were but 20 members;

he state. He announced as the first 
number of the program a trombone and 
cornet duet, by Lagory Wade and Byron

ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY. 
The Appropriation Committee of the Town Reports favorably on the 
Matter. 
Thev recommend Appropriations covering $35,133.50. 
Matter to come up second week in April. 
To the Citizens of the Town of Manchester: 
The Appropriation Committee have 
considered .carefully, the appropriations 
called for under Article 27 of the Town 
Warrant relating to the matter of addition- 
al water supply and make the following 
recommendations : — 
We recommend that the own accept 
the Beaver Dam Meadow plan as an ad- 
ditional water supply, and that the water 
be brought from that location through 
Essex road, School street and private land 
to the large well at the pumping station; 
and appropriate the sum of $16,605. 
We recommend the removal of small 
plant at the pumping station to Beaver 
Dam Meadow, near location of wells, 
and the erection of a suitable building for 
same; and the appropriation of the sum 
of $5,000 for this work. 
We recommend 12 additional driven 
wells on the western side of Essex road, 
in Cedar Swamp; including main pipe 
and connection with pump, and the ap- 
propriation of $5,800 for this work. 
We recommend that the Town take 
up the option on the Gentlee land at 
the Beaver Dam Meadow, 6.589 acres; 
and appropriate the sum of $1,147.25. 
We recommend that the Town take 
up the option on the Knight land at 
Beaver Dam, 1.31 acres, and appropri- 
ate the sum of $ 5327.50. 
We recommend that the Town take 
up the option on the Sturgis land at Bea- 
ver Dam, .233 acres; and appropriate 
the sum of $58.25. 
dialogue between the two was brimming 
over with good humor, and a duet, 
‘‘When the band plays in Dixie,’’ ac- 
companied by some fancy steps, closed 
their sketch. 
Following the entertainment a collation 
was served, consisting of sandwiches, 
coffee, fancy crackers, cake, banannas, 
etc., and ice cream. The affair was in 
charge of the entertainment committee of 
which C. B. Stanley is chairman. 
CARY 
We recommend that the Town ac- 
quire by purchase or otherwise the strip 
of Hoyt and Gentlee land, 1 acre be it 
more or less, and appropriate the sum of 
$100.00. 
We recommend the purchase of land 
known as Moses Hill, now owned by 
A. A. Smith and Charles Fitz, upon 
which the ‘Town has an option, said land 
to be used as a location for high service 
standpipe; 17.43 acres, and appropriate 
the sum of $6,100.50. 
We recommend that the Town appro- 
priate the sum of $5,138.50 from this 
yearss taxation, and the balance of 
thirty thousand( $30,000 ) dollars be raised 
and provided for by borrowing under 
three notes of ten thousand( $10,000) 
dollars each, to mature one in 1908, one 
in 1909 and one in 1910. 
We further respectfully beg to report 
that we have made the above recommen- 
dations understanding that the necessity 
of the case calls for an immediate addit- 
ional supply of water, but in our opinion 
feel that it might be a wise policy for 
the Town to again consider Gravelly 
Pond as an additional water supply.
