Manchester’s new highway, recently 
completed, is meeting with the ap- 
proval of motorists and others who 
lave occasion to use it. It is regarded 
as one of the finest pieces of road 
work in the state. When the esti- 
mates of the State Highway Co.ns- 
sion were made last fall on the prob- 
able cost of the work they were made 
on a basis of amount of material nec- 
essary to do the work at unit prices 
then prevailing. With those estimates 
as a basis the town appropriated 
money for the construction of the 
highway from the George A. Priest 
school to the Beverly line. By the 
time the contract was let the price of 
all materials had so increased that it 
appeared doubtful if it would be pos- 
sible to build the road within the price 
of the appropriation. With the work 
completed and other road improve- 
ments also having been made from the 
funds appropriated it now appears the 
entire cost of reconstruction has been 
kept within the appropriation by at 
least $700. The final report of the 
Highway Commission engineers is ex- 
pected in a few days.

It took two Manchester policemen 
to quell a disturbance on Pine street 
Sunday afternoon, when four Italians 
much under the influence of liquor, 
started a battle. The men were using 
pickaxes and axes for weapons, but 
the police arrived in time to prevent 
fatalities. In district court in Salem 
Tuesday one of the men was dis- 
charged as not guilty of the charge of 
fighting. The sentence of one was 
suspended and he was probated and 
two of the men were fined $25. 
As an incident to the building of 
the new highway through the western 
part of Manchester this season, side- 
walks were built at a new grade, flush 
with the curbing on Bridge street, 
some distance west from the junc- 
tion of Central and Pine streets. The 
new sidewalks are built of “grano- 
lithic,” a concrete mixture with smooth 
white finish and are a great improve- 
ment upon the old style of sidewalks 
in general use. It is said that the 
new sidewalk on Bridge street is the 
first of many others to be built of the 
same material in coming years.
