VOLUME 5. NUMBER 15 
SATURDAY, APR AIS #1007) 
At the Town meeting next week 
the question will be put up to the 
Manchester voters of deciding be- 
tween Gravelly Pond and the driven 
well system as an additional water 
supply. The latter is recommended 
by the majority of the appropriation 
committee and the former by the min- 
ority. Assuming that we must have 
an additional supply and that action 
will be taken one way or the other, 
the question will be between a pond 
water and underground water. Which 
do the citizens want? The board of 
water commissioners have been work- 
ing on this matter for several years. 
They thought they could see an 
answer to their efforts in the under- 
ground supply at Beaver Dam. The 
state board would not give their sanc- 
tion until certain experiments and 
tests had been made. These have 
been made and they recommend the 
Beaver Dam project. Now it is 
thought by some that this. Beaver 
Dam supply would simply mean tap- 
ping the present supply and conse- 
quently they favor some other means, 
namely, Gravelly Pond. Manchester 
has justly been able to boast of its 
water, but what will be the effect if 
we go to the expense of bringing pond 
water to the town? Will our summer 
residents look upon this with favor? 
Wouldn’t it be better to follow out 
the recommendations of our water 
board and the state board and adopt 
the Beaver Dam plan, so-called. 
Our Manchester Senator 
A central and conspicuous figure on 
Beacon Hill, Boston,during the present 
session of the legislature is Senator 
“ Jim’”’ Shaw of the third Essex Dis- 
trict who although no novice in pol- 
itics is serving his first year under the 
Gilded Dome. 
While but a first year man there is 
no member more popular and better 
known among the legislators and em- 
ployees at the State House than Sen- 
ator Shaw, who is busy early and late 
in attendance at committee hearings 
and sessions of the Senate. 
Shaw stands forth as an able leader 
and one of influence and he has dem- 
onstrated rare ability thus far, holding 
important positions on the committee 
on ways and means, committee on 
rules and committee on military of 
which he is chairman. 
Essex’s senator is one those men 
who believes in doing. -He has cer- 
tainly made himself conversant with 
the needs of his constituents, so that 
his district is being represented in on 
doubtful or quiescent manner. 
Shaw has been especially active in 
behalf of the clammers of Newbury- 
port, and his so-called clam bill which 
would give clammers a privilege of dig- 
ging shell fish on Sunday seems to be 
a popular measure. He has taken 
active interest in the appropriation bill 
which provides for the expenditure of 
$10,000 to meet the national appropri- 
ation to dredge Essex River and is 
hopeful of getting another appropri- 
ation to dredge the harbor at Man- 
chester where he resides. 
The so-called armory bill has been 
given close attention by the senator, 
and his committee has reported favor- 
able, whereby the state shall assume 
control of all armories, thus relieving 
the cities and towns of their present 
burdens. The passage of such a bill 
would be gladly heralded by Glouces- 
ter, Lawrence and Haverhill who at 
the present time have big buildings on 
their hands. It seems reasonable at 
the present time to believe that the bill 
will pass both houses and become a 
law. 
The attention of Republican leaders 
is being directed on Shaw who during 
his short term of office has made good. 
He promises to be a factor in the Re- 
publican administration and at present 
is a close and important figure in the 
administration. Frequently he has 
been called into consultation by “His 
Excellency” on important measures. 
Amid a great stress of business he has 
found time to devote time to state af- 
fairs, and his important business and 
political connections here and there 
have made him a valuable servant to 
his constituency. Personally he is one 
of those big hearted fellows, cordial, 
approachable and agreeable. Heisa 
hard worker and knows how to accom- 
plish things, and his fairness as a busi- 
ness man and a politician which has 
been his business acumen has made 
him popular and a factor. 
Will Shaw be a candidate to succeed 
Congressman Gardner when the latter 
retires is a question being asked among 
politicians of the sixth congressional 
district? It is admitted that he is 
made up of the proper kind of material 
necessary for a Congressional candi- 
date, but the senator will not commit 
himself one way or the other. He 
says it is a little too early to consider 
the matter of Congress with such a 
volume of business before the state 
legislature. 
But in the meanwhile his career is 
being closely followed.
