As we look through our North Shore 
woods and follow along the trail of the 
hundreds of moth suppression workers, 
and see the piles of cord wood piled up 
here and there, we are lead to wonder 
if, after all, this work is being done right- 
ly, and if the thousands of dollars raised 
by the town, state and private subscrip- 
tion is being spent judiciously. When 
one sees handsome large trees felled by 
the wood choppers, and hardwood trees 
varying in height from 10 to 20 and 30 
feet chopped down, we wonder if the 
old saying that ““the remedy is worse 
than the disease’ is not very applicable 
here. It is alright to clear out the brush 
and undergrowth, and maybe certain 
kinds of trees, but when beautiful hard- 
wood trees that have stood the tempests 
of five, ten and fifteen years in some 
cases, are hewn down, it does look as if 
there is something wrong somewhere. 
We do not pretent to be well enough 
versed on this subject of moth suppres- 
- 
sion to pass our judgment on the matter. 
The fact remains, nevertheless, that 
hundreds and hundreds of beautiful trees 
are being cut down, and split into cord 
wood or burned. 
WE call attention to the following reg- 
ulation of the Gloucester board * of 
Health relative to spitting upon sidewalks, 
etc. : 
““No person shall spit on any side- 
walk or upon the floor of a railroad 
station, ferry boat, street car or other 
public conveyance, theatre, hall used for 
public gatherings, church, store, building 
used for the storage or preparation for 
market of fish or other food, or on the 
steps or floor of an entrance way leading 
to said places and owners or occupants 
are requested to place warning cards 
against spitting in conspicuous place and 
furnish spittoons where needed; spitting 
into gutters or portions of the street not 
used as a sidewalk is not forbidden.’’ 
The Manchester board of health, we 
think, would not be far amiss in making 
some such regulation for this town. 
Manchester’s sidewalks are very nearly 
all concrete. Spitting upon any kind of 
sidewalk is bad enough, but a walk of 
solid material offers the worse possible 
condition. 
William Harvey Allen. 
William Harvey Allen, one of Man- 
chester’s best known and respected citi- 
zens, passed away last Sunday morning 
at his home on Norwood avenue, at the 
age of 60 years, 3 months, 23 days. 
He had been in failing health for six 
years, but had been confined to the 
nouse only a week previous to his death. 
Mr. Allen was born Dec. 3, 1848, in 
that part of the town known as North 
Yarmouth, in a house still standing on 
Forest street, adjoining the Essex County 
club property. He wasa lineal descend- 
ant of William Allen, one of the origin- 
al settlers of the town, being of the 
eighth generation. He was a son of 
William Harvey and Susan (Poland) 
Allen. His whole life was spent here. 
Like many young men of his day Mr. 
Allen learned the wood carver’s trade. 
After the death of his father, however, 
he carried on the little farm at North 
Yarmouth, where he was born, for some 
years. He conducted a milk and vege- 
table farm. After this he did carpenter- 
ing and was one of Roberts & Hoare’s 
most valued men until he was elected a 
member of the board of selectmen in 
1902. 
For a number of years Mr. Allen 
served the town as a member of the 
school committee, being a member of 
the board at the time the G. A. Priest 
grammar school was built. He also 
served a number of years as a member 
of the Library Trustees. In 1902 he 
was honored by the citizens by being 
elected a member of the board of select- 
men, to which office he was reelected in 
1903, 1904 and 1905, serving as chair- 
man the last two years. It was during 
his last year as chairman of the board of 
selectmen that he had his first attack of 
what finally resulted Jast Sunday in the 
crisis, death. 
Mr. Allen was a man of many good 
qualities. He was public spirited and 
had served the town on many important 
committees from time to time. He was 
for many years president of the Man- 
chester Historical society. He was also 
a member of the Manchester club. 
On Dec. 5, 1869 Mr. Allen married 
Mary F., a daughter of the late Richard 
Gilson of this town, who, with three 
children, survives him. The children 
are Raymond C. Allen, a civil engineer 
of this town, and Misses Susan W. and 
Marion C. Allen. Mr. Allen himself 
was an only child. 
Funeral services were held Tuesday 
afternoon from his late home on Nor- 
wood avenue, the Rev. Dr. Rider of 
Gloucester officiating. Many friends, 
relatives and former associates, attended. 
‘The bearers were Fred K. Swett, repre- 
senting the board of selectmen; Edward 
A. Lane, with whom deceased had 
served on the school committee and as 
library trustee for many years; James 
Hoare, Horace Standley, Postmaster 
Samuel L. Wheaton and David McKin- 
non. Burial was at Rosedale cemetery.
