It was voted in Manchester 
meeting last week, to have the select- 
men look into the question of treating 
our streets to prevent dust. In con- 
nection with the motion O. T. Roberts 
read an extract from an address delivered 
by Charles W. Ross of Newton, before 
the Mass. Highway association last fall, 
as follows: 
‘Take the item of watering the 
streets and see what a saving you. can 
make when you can use some of the 
appropriation for treating the roads. In 
the first place, after a road is treated, it 
saves the expense of teaming the water, 
as well as the drain on the water supply, 
which this year has been very heavy. 
‘Tf you apply any of the oils, asphalts, 
or the different cheaper preparations 
which can be put on the street, costing 
say from two to five cents per sq. yard 
for dust laying purposes, you have put 
onto the surface of the road a finish 
which is almost waterproof. We have 
used a great deal of terracolio-tarvia and 
asphaltoilene, and those materials can be 
used in the village where the people walk 
across the street a great deal. You can 
save the surface of your street, get rid 
of the dust, also save the watering. 
Even if it costs a littlke more you have a 
finished surface which is dustless for 
twenty-four hours in the day. 
‘‘ Tf you treat a macadam road with 
tarvia A. or tarvia B., costing 7, 10, 12 
or 15 cents per sq. yardf’a great saving 
is made in two years. You can save the 
surface of the road and get rid of the 
dust. 
“The difference between that and 
the expense of maintaining the street 
water, etc., shows it certainly would be 
cheaper to use some preparation of that 
kind than depend on the ‘old-fashioned 
way of watering the streets.’’ 
A Few Comparisons. 
We were interested a few days ago in 
looking over the account of the Rock- 
port town meeting and the list of appro- 
priations. While, perhaps, conditions 
render a comparison of the two places 
unfair, itis of interest to note a few 
comparisons between the appropriations 
made by Manchester and* Rockport. 
Rockport is considered part of the North 
Shore and is populated to a large extent 
by summer visitors, though not by such 
a select class of people who have sum- 
mer homes in Manchester.

A perusal of the above figures ought 
to be enough to convince one that Man- 
chester is a good place to live in after 
all. It takes an “* out-sider’’ to realize 
the benefits to be derived in the line of 
public improvements by living here. 
And what is the reason of it all? Is it 
not because of our wealthy summer resi- 
dents? ‘Too few of the citizens appre- 
ciate this fact.

ing nol prossed after the conference with

of an automobile. 
Charles S. Dewey and Albert B.

To Abate Motor Boat Nuisance; Must 
be Provided with Underwater 
Mufiler. 
That motor boats shall muffle their 
exhausts is a provision which is incorpo- 
rated in a bill favorably reported to the 
general court Tuesday by the committee 
on legal affairs. 
For some time’ the idea has been 
agitated by residents of the river and 
water front, and many cities and towns, 
and at the hearing which was given by 
the committee a large number of citizens 
from various localities appeared in sup- 
port of the proposition. 
The bill as reported. provides that it 
shall be unlawful to use a boat, propelled 
in whole, or in part, by gas, gasoline of 
naphtha, unless it is so constructed and 
used as to muffle in a reasonable manner 
the noise of the explosion. 
Any person who operates a boat in 
violation of the provisions of this act 
shall be punished by a fine of not more 
than $25. 
This act is to take effect 30 days after 
its passage.
