Tue people of Manchester have many 
things to be thankful for; things that are 
commonly classed among a town’s as- 
sets. We have the reputation of having 
the finest streets inthe country; we have 
magnificent inland drives; beautiful 
beaches, and a happy combination of sea- 
shore and country scenery, and other 
things which we will not stop to enum- 
erate. 
The latest improvement,—the latest 
addition to the town’s assets—is the in- 
stallation of city delivery. Think of it, 
city delivery for a town the size of Man- 
chester! City delivery and rural delivery 
should not be confused. They are en- 
tirely different. Rural delivery is just 
what it means, mail delivery in the rural 
districts, say within a limit of half a mile 
from the postofice. But with city de- 
livery we have the very best that can be 
offered. 
And yet there are some people who 
would rather not have it. We have 
heard of some pcople in Manchester 
who would do anything even now to pre- 
vent the government from instituting city

delivery here. They would probably go 
so far as to sign a petition against it if 
such a petition were presented to them. 
What a condition! Here is a prize 
which every town in the country covets; 
the citizens of most communities would 
pay large sums of money could they have 
city delivery; yet the prize comes Man- 
chester’s way unsolicited, we might say, 
and there are some who would say “‘No, 
we don’t want your improvements; take 
them away.’”’ : 
About the only objection that can be 
raised is that it will henceforth cost two 
_ cents to mail a letter in the town. 
Think of it; it will cot ONE CENT 
additional to mail a letter in town. 
This will mean a big expenditure for 
the business firms of the town. It means 
that most of.them will be called upon to 
spend from ten to twenty or twenty-five 
dollars a year additional for postage. It 
happens, though, the business firms of 
Manchester are a mighty small propor- 
tion of the population. What about the 
“common people’? we hear so much 
about now a days. JIsn’t it a great bene- 
fitto them? Think of the hundreds of 
people in the town who do not now 
come to the postoffice everyday for their 
mail, and who will now have their mail 
brought to their homes twice or three 
times a day. 
It so happens that there is no business 
firm in the town that the installation of 
the service will affect as much as the 
publishers of the local papers. It means 
an additional expense of from $60 to $80 
a year for them. What do they say? 
Let’s have our city delivery, Postmas- 
ter Wheaton, and let’s have any other 
improvements you can give us, too. We 
pass through this world only once, and 
Jet’s have our money’s worth while we’ re 
at it! 
ANOTHER bouquet for Manchester! 
The newspapers tell of the travels of the 
Good Roads committee of thirty or 
more members all over the United States. 
‘The committee, it will be remembered, 
were on this way some weeks ago, and 
they paid a visit to the North Shore. 
They are now in Ohio, and it is gratify- 
ing to read that in all their travels they 
have not seen a road of equal wearing

differ with those experts! The piece of 
road along Central street, in Manchester, ‘| 
one of the finest pieces of road in the 
town. And there are several miles of 
road here now just as good as thai

Ir is evident that the combination dl 
: 2 a 
which we announced last week is going — 
to be taken advantage of by many people. i 
Several persons have already given their 
order for two of the magazines, in com- — 
bination with the Breeze, at a $3.00 
price,—a saving of one dollar over the — 
regular price of the three publications. — 
We again call attention to the advertise- _ 
ment in this issue. Irrespeetive of this 
offer, we are making the customary offer 
at this season of the year, as announced 
two weeks ago, of sending the BREEZE to _ 
all new subscribers from now to Jan. 1, 
1910, free. All subscriptions to the — 
paper received during November and — 
December will be dated Jan. 1, 1910, 
and will expire Dec. 31, 1910. 
Ir is to be hoped that a representative 
gathering of the citizens of -Manchester 
will plan to attend the hearing to be — 
given at the Town hall on Friday, Nov. ; 7 
26th, on the matter of making needed 
improvements to the entrance into Man- 
chester inner harbor under the Boston 
& Maine railroad bridge. This matter 
has been agitated for some time, but no 
advance was made until the present board - 
of selectmen put the matter up to the 
Secretary of War, through its town coun- 
sel. The hearing is given before the 
representatives of this office. It is un- 
derstood that a large delegation of our 
summer residents will appear at the hear- 
ing and that every effort will be made to 
have the improvements made. 
The Manchester Electric Co. is soon 
to extend its service to the R. C. Hoop- 
er estate at West Manchester. A priv-— 
ate plant has been in use there for sev-— 
eral years, but this is to be discontinued 
and the corporation’s service substituted.
