Town meeting was a quiet occasion. 
There were no electoral contests ex- 
-cepting for assessor, where N. Porter 
Perkins defeated Austin C. Patch, 
and board of health, where Harlan I. 
Brown was successful over Arthur 
M. Harrigan. Re-election or election 
without contest was the rule in all 
other instances. William E. Hadlock 
and Elbridge R. Anderson made no- 
table speeches, the former describing 
succinctly and skillfully the mechan- 
ism of the town clock and convincing 
the voters that the time piece needed 
and deserved thorough repairs, and 
the latter pleading eloquently and suc- 
cessfully for the town to adopt the 
new tenement house act. The adopt- 
ion of the tenement house act, which 
finally took place with only one dis- 
senting vote, came as a crown to the 
efforts of the Village Improvement 
societv and the Church Department 
-of Social Service. Twice had the V. 
I. S. conducted public meetings with 
this end in view. And on Sunday, 
the very evening before town meeting, 
the social service forum in the village 
church consisted ofan address illus- 
trated with stereopticon views given by 
Rey. E. F. Allen of Ipswich, setting 
forth the peril of bad housing in towns 
derson drew freely upon Mr. Allen’s 
material in making his argument be- 
fore town meeting. At the close of 
the meeting Oscar Hosmer questioned 
the town officials and elicited the state- 
ment that Wenham customarily closes 
its financial year with a surplus of 
several thousand dollars. The Wen- 
ham No-License Committee had ap- 
pealed to voters to regard the vote on 
the license question in a serious light. 
The town has always been in the “No” 
column and is regarded as safely 
“dry.” This year there was a slight 
falling off in the “yes” vote and a 
notable diminution in the number of 
blanks. No-License carried 105 to 31. 
Last year there were 42 blanks. This 
year only 23. 
Bird Life is the title of a lecture 
to be given Tuesday at 8 p. m. in the 
Town hall, by Mr. E. H. Forbush, 
state ornithologist. The Village Im- 
provement society is responsible for 
this opportunity, and offers it without 
charge to the Audubon society, the 
boy scouts and the public generally. 
Much sympathy was extended to 
Ira W. Heywood last week, when he 
received word that his mother had 
died, in Meriden, N. H.
