NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER 
A hearing was held last Saturday 
afternoon at the office of the select- 
men on petition of William Phalen for 
a victualler’s license. J.S. Reed and 
L. W. Floyd remonstrated against 
granting the license, and A. S. Dow 
spoke favorably. The board voted to 
give the petitioner leave to withdraw. 
Mr. Phalen is a stranger in the town, 
and the selectmen looked at the mat- 
ter in the light that a man who had 
established a business and carried it 
through the winter for the conve- 
nience of the citizens, should be pro- 
tected through the summer season 
from what might be termed itinerant 
venders, or people looking for gain in 
summer resorts, and therefore they 
gave the applicant permission to with- 
draw. 
Arthur S. Dow has applied to the 
board of selectmen for a common 
victualler’s license (which allows 
serving food on Sundays), and at the 
meeting of the board Thursday even- 
ing his petition was granted. The 
selectmen felt justified in granting the 
license as the town in the summer 
months demands a restaurant, or 
lunch room, where a meal can be 
obtained at any hour of the day. 
They felt that the sentiment of the 
citizens seemed to be that a place 
where one could obtain a sandwich, 
cup of coffee, etc., at short notice at 
any time, was an actual necessity. 
At the hearing Thursday afternoon 
on the matter of granting a license to 
Capt. Nelson of Gloucester to main- 
. tain a fish-wier off Coolidge’s Point, 
no one was present, either for or 
against, and the board gave the peti- 
tioner leave to withdraw. 
Rev. and Mrs. Geo. L. Gleason 
drove over from Topsfield for the con- 
ference Wednesday. Rev. Geo. E. 
Freeman, another former pastor, of 
Watertown, was also in town for the 
meeting. 
One of the dredger men received a 
ducking Tuesday night. He was 
pushing a scow from the pier when 
the pole gave way and he fell over- 
board. 
Frank H. Crombie claims the 
record as an amateur hen man. Dur- 
ing the month of April he got 552 
eggs from 25 hens,—an average of 22 
eggs from each hen for the month. 
Can anybody beat this? 
William McCormack, profession- 
ally known as W. J. MacRaye, now
