‘THERE are two articles in the Town 
Warrant pertaining to dredging,—one 
calling for $4,200 to be spent on dredg- 
ing the channel from the main channel 
to the pier at the Masconomo Park, and 
the other calling for dredging the inner 
harbor. ‘The latter calls for $5,000. 
We do not know how much need 
there is of dredging in the inner harbor, 
but it would seem that inasmuch as_ the 
inner harbor was dredged two or three 
years ago, that it cannot be called for 
very much this year. We doknow that 
the channel to Masconomo Park has 
been talked up now for three or four 
years. [he town has spent thousands 
of dollars on the park and has built a 
pier there. Is would therefore seem that 
the digging of a channel would be along 
the line of further progress in this dir- 
ection. 
Perhaps it would be well to dig the 
channel at Masconomo Park this year, 
and let the matter of channel in the in- 
ner harbor go over for another year.

Town Meeting Talk. 
Town meeting, Monday, March 1. 
All nomination papers must be filed by 
5 p. m. next Tuesday, the 23d. 
Last opportunity to register before 
Town Meeting will be tomorrow, Feb. 
20, 12 noon to 10 p. m. 
The Assessors will be in session to- 
morrow from 3 to 5and 7 to 9 for the 
convenience of persons desiring to be 
assessed for polls. 
No other candidates have yet appeared 
for the position of selectman. Outside 
the old board, Mr. Meldrum is the only 
candidate. When we say old _ board 
we mean F. K. Swett, Mr. Knight and 
W.R. Bell. Mr. Meldrum is also a 
candidate for assessor for three years, 
and Mr. Bell is a candidate for re-elec- 
tion for the same position. Only one 
assessor is elected now, and he for three 
years. 
Something unusual,—a fight on for 
school committee. Alfred C. Need- 
ham isa candidate for re-election for 3 
years. E. Wallace Stanley, one of the 
force of employees at Standley’s black- 
smith’s shop, took out papers the first of 
the week. Dr. Waldo H. Tyler is also 
running. Papers were taken out yester- 
day morning by some of Dr. Tryler’s 
friends. Nobody in town evinces a 
more active interest in schools than Dr. 
Tyler. 
Water Board.—Nothing doing so far. 
Jeffrey T. Stanley is the only candidate 
in the field so faras we know. He is 
looking for re-election, and as far as we 
can figure it he should get it. He has 
served on the board for two or three 
terms, has helped put through this ad- 
ditional water project and we believe he 
should be given a chance now to see 
this matter to an end. 
Gypsy moths! They are getting all 
mixed up and unless we have missed the 
cue there will be quite a tangle of webs 
before election 1s over. William Young 
is a candidate for re-election. He has 
served for a number of years. John D. 
Morrison is running. He is now super- 
intendent of moth suppression. There 
is a sentiment among some that the tree 
warden and moth superintendent ought 
to be one and the same,—the ofhceés;— 
one elective and the other appointive, — 
ought to bé combined. Andso Mr. 
Morrison is running. The Cove puts 
up a candidate in the personage of Oliver 
Gilman.

Park Commissioner! The present 
incumbent, D. T. Beaton, who isa can- 
didate for reelection, for 3 years, will 
have opposition, as Jeffrey S. Reed has 
taken out papers One of Mr. Reed’s 
issues is that Masconomo Park is not 
being handled properly by the present 
board. He thinks the park ought to be 
rip-rapped all the way around, to the site 
of the old mill, and that a dam of some 
sort ought to be built there so as to keep 
the water in Day’s Creek, thus keeping 
water over those flats all the time and 
making a convenient place for children 
and others to row and sail, etc. But 
this is only one issue! He has others. 
That blanket nomination paper.— 
More or less talk is being made of the 
fact that John D. Morrison’s name is on 
the blanket nomination paper which was 
gotten out a week ago today. It has 
been customary to get out this paper 
every year, having on it the names of 
many of those who were candidates for 
re-election, and in most cases it would 
contain the names of those who had no 
opposition. The nomination paper must 
be signed by a stipulated number of vot- 
ers and it seems hardly necessary to get 
out a paper for every individual, when a 
number of candidates can be put on one 
paper. 
Quite a little talk, however, has re- 
sulted from the fact that Mr. Morrison's 
name is on the blanket paper this year. 
Mr. Morrison is the new candidate for 
tree warden. Some people have an idea 
that Mr. Morrison’s name was put on 
the paper by some of his friends. Noth- 
ing of the sort. Last Friday morning 
when Mr. Jewett was making out the 
blanket paper Mr. Morrison went into 
the office to get out his own paper, and 
the suggestion lent itself to both Mr. 
Jewett and Mr. Morrison that there was 
no reason why the name couldn’t be put 
on this blanket paper with many others. 
And soit wasdone. If opponents of Mr. 
Morrison are using this as campaign talk 
against anybody they should drop it, for 
nobody used any ‘‘effort’’ in Mr. Mor- 
rison’s behalf. Anybody else could have 
done the same thing. 
Harvard Gymnasium Team. 
It will be all Harvard at the Salem Y.

nasium team,—20 crimson champions in 
astonishing acrobatic activities, will give 
an exhibition. The proceeds of the af- 
fair (tickets 25 cents each) will be used 
in purchasing gymnasium apparatus.
