A sidewalk has just been built 
around the dangerous corner and 
ledge at the Cove, near the Coolidge’s 
Point. 
The bad corners in the highways 
about town have been marked with 
chalk lines, to warn autoists as to their 
position in rounding corners. This 
was inaugurated last season on a 
small scale, but this year several more 
of the corners are marked. It is a 
good proposition and well merits the 
expense to which the town goes in the 
matter. 
The historic old Foster house on 
Central street, Manchester, now 
known as the Leach cottage, has been 
reopened for the summer by Mr. and 
Mrs. George C. Leach, the owners, as 
a high-class boarding house. Among 
those who have already arrived for 
the summer is Miss A. O. Williams of 
the Buckminster, Boston, who. arriv- 
ed yesterday.

The Fourth of July committee will 
meet again tonight. The plans as out- 
lined thus far are somewhat as fol- 
lows: In the forenoon a program of 
sports at 8.30 at the playgrounds; in 
the afternoon at 1.30 a children’s en- 
tertainment in the Town hall (there 
will be a baseball game in the after- 
noon, but not under the jurisdiction 
of the committee). In the evening 
there will be a band concert on the 
Common by the Co. G band of Glou- 
cester, and a display of fireworks.

Town Affairs 
WITH THE MANCHESTER BOARD 
OF SELECTMEN AND OTHER 
Town OFFICIALS 
The school committee at their 
monthly meeting last Friday evening — 
accepted the resignation, as presented 
by the following teachers: Miss Edna 
B. West, Miss A. Gertrude Gray and 
L. R. McKusick, sub-master at the 
High school. The first two intend 
to give up teaching; Mr. McKusick 
will accept a more favorable position 
at a private school in Connecticut. 
All the other regular and special teach- 
ers have received their re-appoint- 
ments. 
Everybody is interested in the plans 
for Manchester’s new Town hall. The 
committee is trying to push along the 
work of having plans prepared with 
a view of placing the whole matter 
before the citizens at a special Town 
meeting. Charles Coolidge of Boston, 
of the firm of architects, Shepley, 
Routan and Coolidge, has been secur- 
ed to prepare a set of plans. Though 
yet of somewhat tentative nature, 
much of the detail being left with the 
architect, the plans will call for a 
building of tapestry brick, with gran- 
ite or limestone trimmings. The 
building will be planned for town uses 
only, and will be of two stories. The 
auditorium will have a raised floor 
and a seating capacity of 800; the gal- 
leries will seat 400 (the present capa- 
city of the Town hall). Provision 
will be made for another large hall for 
banquets, dances, etc. ; this will be con- 
siderably larger than the present Town 
hall. The whole structure will be de- 
signed with special reference to fitting 
the general surroundings of Central 
square, as it is at present, with the 
police station building removed.

From the Boston News Bureau of 
June 10, we reprint the following dis- 
patch from Globe, Ariz., concerning 
the Iron Cap Copper Co., of which 
Frank P. Knight of this town is 
president: “Globe, Ariz—The Iron 
Cap Copper Co. management expects 
June output of 500 tons of high-grade 
ore. Prediction of 300 tons for May 
was exceeded by actual shipment. The 
650-foot level is now 471 feet from 
the mouth of the drift and the rich 
ore body is still holding up in size and 
value. The company has not yet 
cross-cut, sunk or raised on the ore, 
following it with a drift two sets 
wide, exposing an average of 12 feet 
wide. The first of June a raise was 
started 20 feet back from the face of 
the drift to ascertain the height of 
the ore body. Cross-cuts and winzes 
also will be driven to explore the body. 
The ore holds an average of 12 per 
cent copper and the streak of high 
grade in the center, varying from 12 to 
24 inches, runs as high as 50 per cent 
copper and over 100 ounces in silver.” 
Mr. Knight confirmed this report 
when interviewed at his home in Man- 
chester last night.
