A very noticeable improvement has 
been made by the Boston & Maine in 
removing the high board fence separ- 
ating its property near Beach street 
from J. S. Reed’s. For years Mr. 
Reed’s garden, in season, has been 
one of the prettiest spots in Man- 
chester. So pretty, in fact, that 
magazines have published pictures of 
it. The removal of the fence will at - 
least add to the attractiveness of this 
place. The fence blew over during 
the big wind storm last month. It 
was replaced, but since then it has 
been removed and a wire fence now 
separates the B. & M. property from.

The new wagon of the forest fire 
warden has arrived and has been put 
into commission. It is kept in the 
rear of the fire department building. 
It is of a light construction and the 
body part is partitioned off for fire 
extinguishers, pails, axes, hose, shov- 
els, and brooms. It has large lights 
on either side and a large gong is on 
the dash board. The fire warden will 
no doubt have great use for it the 
coming season as forest fires are fre- 
quent at that time of the year.
