It has been suggested that an ex- 
tention be built all around the band 
stand in Central sq., Manchester, pro- 
viding about six feet additional floor 
space in each direction. The stand 
is too small to comfortably accommo- 
date a band of nearly 25 men and 
their instruments. Often special in- 
struments are used for solo numbers 
and the quarters are then altogether 
too cramped for the performers to do 
their best work. Perhaps a new 
band stand would be preferable to 
enlarging the old one.

Limited only by feeble bounds of 
a hard-working imagmation, two or 
three newspapers of nearby towns 
have added their bit to a yarn con- 
cocted by the Boston Post last Mon- 
day in regard to an alleged contro- 
versy over the use of Singing Beach, 
Manchester, by non-residents of the 
town. Even some Manchester people 
have been so exercised by the story 
that they have forgotten a few facts, 
quite well known to themselves, and 
have swallowed whole or in huge por- 
tions the story of the attempted re- 
striction of the use of the beach. 
Two weeks ago the BREEZE com- 
mented upon the popularity of Sing- 
ing Beach, which is increasing from 
year to year. Attention was called to 
the fact that the capacity of the pres- 
ent bath houses is taxed beyond 
the limit every pleasant day in sum- 
mer. The suggestion was made that 
it was time added accommodations 
were provided. No reference what- 
ever was made to the use of the bath 
houses by non-residents, and the writer 
had not given that phase of the ques- 
tion a thought. The 32 dressing rooms 
can easily be taxed to capacity with- 
out a single non-resident setting foot 
on the beach. And when it is re- 
membered that several hundred per- 
sons congregate on the beach on a 
Sunday and that the majority of them

that that issue should have been raised 
at all. However, Jeffrey S. Reed of 
the Park Board, who has always ad- 
vocated charging a small fee to non- 
residents who use the public ‘bath 
houses, wrote a letter to the BREEzE 
last week calling attention to the fact 
that the question of the legality of the 
free use of the public bath houses by 
non-resident had never been settled. 
Mr. Reed suggested that it might be a 
good thing to determine the right of 
the Town of Manchester to build bath 
houses for the use of “all Essex 
county,” before making any additions 
to the present buildings. 
The Boston Post, like other Boston 
papers, makes a practice of enriching 
its columns with clippings from the 
columns of the Breeze. When a 
youthful reporter was handed the 
clipping from the Breeze and Mr. 
Reed’s letter he scented a “big con- 
troversy,” as he called it. Accompa- 
nied by a photographer, he visited 
Singing Beach last Sunday and se- 
cured the picture of a group of young 
ladies, whom he chose to call Salem 
shop girls. After a visit to police 
headquarters, where he learned that 
not an arrest had been made at the 
beach in eight years, and that to all 
appearances his trip had been fruit- 
less, he decided to do a little stirring 
up of affairs of his own accord. 
Eventually he drifted into the BREEzE 
office and there was informed that 
everyone in Manchester was appar- 
ently in accord on the question of the 
use of the beach by non-residents. 
He was told that the matter had 
often come up in Town meetings, but 
that no action had ever been taken 
to instruct the Park Board in regard 
to making a charge, the inference be- 
ing that everyone was agreeable to 
having visitors to Manchester use the 
privileges of the beach, including the 
bath houses, providing they did not 
abuse them. 
However, he took the liberty of 
quoting the editor of the BrerzE as 
being in favor of restricting the use 
of the beach to residents and sum- 
mer residents of the North Shore. 
The BrEEzE has never advocated any

restrictions of the use of Singing 
Beach and probably never will, unless 
changed conditions justify it. Sevy- 
eral papers and a number of un- 
informed individuals have pictured the 
BREEZE as advocating a class distinc- 
tion in connection with the use of the 
beach by non-residents. Common 
sense and a knowledge of the facts 
should be enough to convince anyone 
that such has not been the case.
