BIG IMPROVEMENT 
FOR MANCHESTER 
Channel 100 Feet Wide to Be Dredged from the Entrance 
to Harbor, New Yacht Club, Across Glass Head F lats 
One of the most important moves 
in the line of permanent improve- 
ments for Manchester is about to be 
undertaken by the state in dredging 
a channel 100 feet wide at the bot- 
tom, and 6 feet deep at low water, 
across the Glass Head flats at the 
entrance to the harbor. The chan- 
nel will be dredged from the deep 
water of the outer harbor to a point 
about opposite the Yacht club. From 
that point into the inner harbor has 
already been dredged. 
The harbor and land commission- 
ers were petitioned by the town to 
give their assistance in this project 
and they have decided to spend 
$15,000, with the understanding the 
town will appropriate $6,000 of this 
amount. 
The selectmen have assured this 
amount and with this understanding 
the commissioners have prepared 
plans and _ specifications and_ bids 
will be opened on the 12th of April 
for doing the work. Just as soon as 
the town takes. action at its ad- 
journed town meeting, April 15, the 
state will give out the job and work 
will be started at once. The work 
must be completed by.October 1. 
Few Manchester people realize the 
importance of this work. The en- 
trance to Manchester harbor has 
been of a very crooked and winding 
nature, and almost impassable to the 
stranger. By cutting this straight 
channel across the flats anyone 
could find their way into the barbor 
at any time. 
The channel will be buoyed later 
and properly lighted. 
This project is made possible 
largely through the efforts of Chair- 
man Edward 8. Knight of the board 
of selectmen who has worked in- 
defatigably to bring it about.
