WitH THE MANCHESTER BOARD 
oF SELECTMEN AND OTHER 
Town OFFICIALS 
The adjourned Town meeting was 
held Monday night with only a few 
voters present. The remaining arti- 
cles of the annual warrant were either 
passed over or acted upon, so that 
the meeting was dissolved. Modera- 
tor Allen presided. The first business 
to come before the meeting was the 
matter of dredging. Chairman Mel- 
drum of the selectmen stated that 
about $17,000 was required to com- 
plete the original plans of the Harbor 
and Land Commissioners for improve- 
ments in Manchester harbor, and the 
board had assured the selectmen that. 
if the town appropriate $8000 the 
state would put enough with it to 
complete the work. It was accord- 
ingly voted “that the town appropriate 
$8000 for the improvement of Man- 
chester Harbor, the said sum to be 
paid in to the treasurer and receiver- 
general of the Commonwealth and ex- 
pended under the direction of the 
board of Harbor and Land Commis- 
sioners under the provisions of Chap. 
481 of. the Acts of 1909.” 
Under Art. 34 the park commission- 
ers asked for $3000 for dredging, and 
this, too, was voted. The commis- 
sioners plan to spend most of this 
money on the inside of the wharf at 
the park, toward Beach street. The 
basin there will be greatly changed 
and part of the float now extending 
down stream will be brought in to- 
ward Beach street. 
Under Art. 59 it was voted that 
$1000 be appropriated to carry out 
the vote of the town in accepting the 
statutes regarding the condemning of 
unsafe buildings. It was explained 
that though the town accepted the 
statutes nothing was done toward 
providing funds: to use in this con- 
nection. 
The articles relative to improve- 
ments on Pine stret were passed over, 
as the county commissioners had not 
vet made their report. Probably the 
street will be temporarily repaired by 
the highway department. 
It was further voted that $148,000 
be raised by taxation this year. This 
is several thousands in advance of 
last year, but it was explained that 
the state and county taxes alone this

It has been decided to hold a union 
picnic of the Congregational and Bap- 
tist Sunday Schools this summer. 
An entertainment and social in aid

on the town’s part of more than $20,- 
ooo. Assessor Swett said that the 
state tax commissioner had increased 
Manchester’s valuation from a_ basis 
of 16 million as it had been in the 
three years of I9QI0-I1-12, to 26 mil- 
lion for 1913-14-15. ‘This means sim- 
ply that the state in levying its tax 
on Manchester in the next three vears 
will work on the latter figure as a 
basis instead of 16 million as hereto- 
fore, and this means a heavier state 
tax. 
Representatives from Manchester, 
Danvers and Hamilton attended the 
conference with the Beverly city coun- 
cil held at the Beverly City hall re- 
cently to discuss the problem of hav- 
ing the towns surrounding Beverly co- 
operate with that city in maintaining 
an isolation hospital. ‘Those present 
at the meeting included George R. 
Dean and F. G. Cheever of the Man- 
chester board of health, Alderman 
W. O. Wylie of the Beverly commit- 
tee, who presided, aldermen Lane and 
Goldsmith of Beverly, J. E. Herrick, 
health commissioner, Dr. N. M. Mc- 
Leod, city physician, C. G. Knowlton 
of the Hamilton board of health, Dr. 
FE. H. Niles and W. H. Crosby of the 
Danvers board of health. While the 
establishment of an isolation hospital 
is optional with the towns, Beverly 
conceived the idea of building the in- 
stitution and having the surrounding 
towns contribute toward its  main- 
tenance. This would result in a ma- 
terial saving to all of the municipali- 
ties included within the plan. The 
Beverly plan has been indorsed by the 
town delegates and a committee con- 
sisting of J. E. Herrick of Beverly, 
George W. kitz of Hamilton, N. P. 
Meldrum of Manchester and Dr. E. 
H. Niles of Danvers has been named 
to investigate the maintenance cost. 
A further consideration of the prop- 
osition will result at a second meeting 
to be held soon.
