Contract AWARDED For PRINTING 
At the meeting Tuesday night of the 
Manchester board of selectmen, bids 
were opened for printing the Town 
Report of the past year. Only 
two bids were received as follows: 
North Shore Breeze Co., $2.19 per 
page; Manchester Printing Co., Har- 
ry E. Slade, prop., $2.25 per page. 
The Breeze company put in an ad- 
ditional bid, as in former years, for 
printing the School Committee and 
Water Commissioners’ reports. The 
Manchester Printing Co. did not put 
in any figure on this, no estimate being 
called for by the auditor. 
Mr. Slade was asked if he indended 
to include this latter work (which 
comes to $60) in his original estimate 
and he replied that he did. The con- 
tract was awarded to him. 
The _ Breeze company protested 
Wednesday on this kind of dickering 
and said that new bids ought to be 
called for. Chairman Knight inform- 
ed Mr. Lodge that the board always 
reserved the right to accept or reject 
any or all bids. A little later he made 
known the decision of the board (and 
auditor) to chief of police Converse, 
who spent a liberal portion of Wed- 
nesday and Thursday informing the 
public that “The Breeze has lost the 
contract for printing the Town Re- 
ports.” 
The public fails to see just what 
connection Chief Converse has with 
the printing of the town. It is a signi- 
ficant fact, however, that he was deep- 
ly interested. 
The chief was in the ‘Town hall 
again this morning, getting additional 
information on the matter from the 
auditor, so Auditor Jones informed 
us at 2.10 this afternoon upon being 
asked the direct question. 
Perhaps the chief is looking for the 
auditor’s job next year and that is 
why he is so interested.

Just because your watch confinues to run is no sign that it isnot being in-

Ernest Mead of Wellesley Farms, 
who is well known in Manchester, 
gave an informal talk Tuesday even- 
ing at the weekly meeting of Col. H. P. 
Woodbury camp, 149, S. of V., which 
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large 
number of men _ present. Several 
years ago Mr. Mead and a fellow em- 
ployee at the Boston office of the Iver 
& Pond piano concern, took a five- 
week holiday to Europe, and it was 
some of his impressions of this trip 
that Mr. Mead told about. Mr. Mead 
has a remarkable memory and an 
equally remarkably way of seeing 
things and being able to tell about 
them very fluently. 
Speaking of London he told of its 
army of 17,000 police officers and — 
1400 firemen and of some of the fea- 
tures of the great metropolis. Great- 
er London, he said comprised some . 
700 square miles in area and had a 
population of more than seven million 
people. He took up briefly six points 
of particular interest in the city—the 
Tower of London, Westminister Ab- 
bey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Parliament 
buildings, the British Museum and 
the National Gallery. 
From London they took a five-day 
tour about England, visiting such 
places as Cambridge University, Leeds 
and Sheffield, seeing the Rogers’ cut- 
lery plant in the latter place; North- — 
ampton, the center of the lace indus- 
try in England; Kenilworth Castle, 
Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford Univer- 
sities and back to London, and a visit 
to Winsor Castle. ; 
They afterwards spent a week in 
Paris, where the chief points of inter- 
est were visited, such as the Cathedral 
of Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, the 
tomb of Napoleon, the old French 
prison, etc. 
A collation of coffee, doughnuts, — 
crackers and cheese was served and 
the meeting closed with the singing of 
patriotic songs.
