MANCHESTER TOWN MEETING 
Warrant of 66 Articles Disposed of 
in One Day—$209,000 Appro- 
priated. Officers Elected 
Manchester’s annual town meet- 
ing was held Monday and the busi- 
ness of the session was disposed of 
in record time. There were 66 arti- 
eles in the warrant this year. Ev- 
ery article was disposed of Monday 
and a total of $209,000 was appro- 
priated. Everything was cleaned up 
and the meeting adjourned at 9.40. 
The election took place in the after- 
noon. Raymond C. Allen, who has 
served as moderator the last four 
years, acted in that capacity this 
year, and it was largely through his 
wit ww 
CHAIRMAN E. 8. KNIGHT 
of the Board of Selectmen, re-elected 
‘efficient work that the meeting was 
able to pass on so much business in 
such a short period. 
What Was Said and Done at Town 
; Meeting 
(Monday Morning Session.) 
Town Clerk A. S. Jewett called 
the meeting to order at 9 o’elock. 
There were about 50 voters present. 
After the reading of the warrant 
Art. 1, choice of moderator, was 
taken up. Raymond C. Allen was 
again unanimously chosen. He 
thanked the voters for continued 
expression of confidence in him and 
promised to serve them to the best 
of his ability. He stated that in re- 
cent years the business of the annual 
town meeting, through the assis- 
tance largely of the appropriation 
committee, was being completed in 
very short order, and as many of 
the voters did not get out to the 
forenoon session it was a question 
in his mind whether or not the pol- 
icy of many other towns should not 
be adopted in Manchester, that is, 
have the election of officers on one 
day and then do the other business 
on some other day or a week later.
