Tue Appropriation Committee recom- 
mends appropriations in so many of the 
articles of the annual Town Warrant for 
Manchester town meeting next Monday, 
that we report only what they do not re- 
commend. Under this heading may be 
placed: Publishing valuation list; con- 
crete sidewalk, Beach street, toward the 
beach; concrete sidewalk, School street, 
from Vine street to Brook street; con- 
crete sidewalk, northerly side Bridge 
street. The matter of new bathhouse 
at Singing Beach, for which, by the way, 
four or five thousand dollars will be 
asked, instead of $7000, and the matter 
of dredging channel at Masconomo park, 
are placed under the “‘ We make no re- 
commendation’’ head. 
On the matter of investigation of the 
subject of sewerage the committee re- 
commends that $300 be appropriated for 
a committee to work on this question. 
The park commissioners call for $3000 
for maintenance of parks. $2000 is re- 
commended.

The committee recommends that 
$3000 be appropriated for dredging the 
inner harbor. ‘They make no recom- 
mendation on dredging a channel to the 
Masconomo Park. It appears to us that 
there is more need of dredging a chan- 
nel to our new parkand public pier, than 
in dredging the channel in the inner har- 
bor, inasmuch as the inner harbor was 
dredged only three years ago. 
For highways, concrete, clearing snow, 
etc , a total appropriation of $25,110.00 
isrecommended. For schools $23,000, 
and for special on schools, $3325.00. 
Town Meeting Talk. 
If there is any, we haven't heard it. 
It is the “‘ quietest’’ before-town meeting 
we have known. If there is any work 
being done, and talk being made for any 
of the candidates, it is beyond our sight 
and our hearing. 
Only one new candidate for any office 
has appeared since our last issue,— 
Jacob H. Kitfield, who is running for 
assessor, for 3 years. Mr. Bell’s term 
expires this year. He is a candidate for 
re-election. Mr. Meldrum is also 
running and Mr. Kitfield is the third one 
in the field. One will be elected. 
For selectmen there are four candi- 
dates,—the old board (of 1907), Fred 
K. Swett, Edward S. Knightand Walter 
R.*Bell. N. P. Meldrum is the only 
new candidate. Three will be elected. 
It is funny how the votes run some- 
times. For instance, last year everybody 
was sure Mr. Swett was a winner, any- 
way. [here was no concerted move- 
ment to throw him down. Yet he lost. 
His own friends defeated him. It is al- 
ways well to bear such things in mind. 
Every vote counts, and every voter should 
cast a ballot not for one, or two, but for 
three selectmen. 
Town meeting will be called to order 
at9 a.m. The forenoon will be taken 
up with reports and business of minor 
importance. Election will begin at 12 
o'clock and the polls will close at 5.30. 
The evening session will begin at 7 
o’ clock, probably. 
Owing largely to the fact that the town 
report was out so early this year, the 
Finance Committee were able to finish 
their work earlier than usual. Their 
last session was held Monday. Their 
report was distributed about town Thurs- 
day afternoon. “They recommend total 
appropriations of $191,343.32, $27,175. 
00 of which may be classed as new and 
special appropriations outside the routine.
