The fire department was called out 
Tuesday evening on a_ telephone 
alarm from the Gordon Abbott cot- 
tage at West Manchester. In some 
manner a fire was started from un- 
derneath the kitchen range and rather 
than risk serious’ results when the 
danger was discovered the depart- 
ment was called a little before eight 
o'clock. The auto chemical made a 
quick response and the firemen soon 
got at the seat of the difficulty. The 
damage was under $50.

One of the best improvements made 
in connection with Manchester’s 
parks in recent years is the new 
“turn-around” at Singing Beach. This 
is a wonderful convenience and adds 
greatly to the pleasure of a visit to 
the beach by motor or carriage. It 
is a wonder why more improvements 
of this sort are not made.’ Manches- 
ter’s Singing Beach is one of her 
chief attractions—one of her best as- 
sets; and to think it has been so inac- 
cessible all these years! Now one 
may drive almost out onto the beach, 
getting a splendid view of the ocean 
up and down the coast without leav- 
ing his vehicle. The cost was only 
slight—nothing compared to the big 
convenience and public benefit. And 
speaking of parks, who is there who 
can say the town is any less attractive 
since that marsh on Beach street has 
been lifted out of the water and the 
shrubbery and plants have taken the 
place of the barren stretch of useless 
land. , Every dollar that has ever 
been put into that park is today re- 
turning ten-fold in the impressions 
one gains of the town by its develop- 
ment. Would that the town could 
spend sufficient money to finish the 
entire layout of the park in one year. 
To us of the town, living here the 
year round, these improvements are 
hardly noticed, much less appreci- 
ated but to the new-comer they im- 
mediately form an impression, and the 
impression cannot be otherwise than 
good. And, speaking further along 
this line we feel called upon to make 
some comment on that most disgust- 
ing strip of land opposite the park, on 
the corner of ‘Tappen and Beach 
streets. Whoever owns that property 
shows they have very little civic pride 
to allow this condition to continue. 
There are piled up in a most inhar- 
monious manner the dumping from 
some gravel pit, rocks of various 
sizes, loam, brick, pipes, and what 
not. It is a disgrace to the town. 
Manchester shows the need of a Vill- 
age Improvement society or some 
similar organization. This dump is 
allowed to exist on the main street of 
the town, opposite our park, and no 
one dares or cares to raise a voice of 
disapproval.

A number of relatives and friends of

Hokenson of Somerville were united 
in marriage Wednesday evening by 
Rev. Clarence Strong Pond, at the 
latter’s residence at Beverly Farms.

people have been engaged for some 
time, but they did not desire to have
