Mrs. Eliza Crombie is seriously ill at 
her home on Pleasant street. 
The schools close this afternoon for 
the Easter holidays, to reopen on Mon- 
day, Apr. 12. 
The display windows at E. A. Leth- 
bridge’s store present quite an attractive 
Easter appearance. 
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Valentine have 
moved from the Killam house to the ten- 
ement in Lee’s block, just vacated by 
Mr. and Mrs. George Kimball. 
Invitations have been sent out the past 
week for the reunion of the Class of ’07, 
Story High school,’ to be held at the 
Town hall on Wednesday evening, 
April 14. 
Graduation honors for the Class of 
1909 at the Story High school have been 
awarded, the valedictory to Miss Abbie 
P. Floyd, and the salutatory to Miss 
Mabel W. Lodge. ‘The other two 
members of this year’s class are Miss 
Agnes M. Sjolund and Robert W. 
Baker. 
It is not unlikely that the board of se- 
lectmen will make a report to the town 
at the adjourned meeting to be held on 
Monday evening, April 12, to the effect 
that the town petition the war depart- 
ment in Washington to instruct the Bos- 
ton & Maine R. R. to widen the chan- 
nel into Manchester inner harbor, direct- 
ly under the railroad bridge to 40 feet, 
and that the trusses of the bridge over the 
channel be built above, instead of below 
the tracks, the object being to obtain a 
passage into the harbor under the bridge 
at all tides. 
The dredging of the channel and basin 
in the inner harbor has progressed quite 
favorably the past week. Up to Wed- 
nesday night as much work had been 
done, and as many cubic yards of mud 
had been removed as was removed when 
the work was done two years ago, and 
the work is not yet completed, so that it 
can be seen the town is having much 
more done this year than two years ago. 
It can readily be seen how fast the chan- 
nel fills in when it is realized that when 
the work was completed two years ago 
the depth of channel at low water was 
six feet. It was only two feet when the 
work was started last week. The price 
paid two years ago was 45 cents per cu. 
yd. ‘The price being paid this year is 
~324 cents. This low figure was obtained 
owing to the fact the contract could be 
awarded when it was, rather than waiting 
until the company’s dredging machines 
are all busy on other work. ‘The basin 
near the landing, we understand, will be 
125 feet broad.

Local plumbers, affiliated with the 
Salem Plumbers Council, which includes 
in its membership journevmen from Bev- 
erly, Salem, Marblehead, Manchester 
and Hamilton, are to ask for an increase 
of forty cents a day, or from fifty to fifty- 
five cents an hour, the new wage rate to 
go into effect on the first of May. It is 
also understood that the steam and gas- 
fitters will ask for an increase from 
$3.75 to $4 a day, to go into effect at 
the same time. 
‘There was a lively runaway on Beach 
street, Saturday, about 1.30 p. m., when 
a horse, belonging to P. H. Boyle, and 
attached to a carryall, took fright at a 
locomotive drawing a freight train, and 
ran over the crossing in front of the en- 
gine. In turning in towards the depot, 
the carriage struck one of R. & L. Bak- 
er’stip carts and a shaft was broken. 
‘The driver, however, succeeded in bring- 
ing the horse to a halt before any further 
damage was done. 
The moth suppression work is going 
on with a force of over 50 men in Man- 
chester. Acting Superintendent Worth- 
ley and other state officials were in town 
‘Tuesday looking over the work. The 
efforts of the past few days have been 
directed to the colony off Pine street, 
and between that andthe old Wenham 
road. Underbrush and trees are being 
cut out and either split into cord wood or 
burned, and brush that has laid over 
from past years is being burned. Yes- 
terday was pay day, and consequently 
some $1500 or $1800 more money is in 
circulation about town today than yester- 
day, for which all the merchants and 
others are duly thankful. It has been a 
dull winter in Manchester.
