“MANCHESTER SpEcIAL Town MEET- 
} NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 21 
ING OF May 3. 
An account of the special town 
meeting in Manchester on Monday 
evening of last week, was inadvert- 
ently omitted from our last issue. 
© The meeting was called to order 
by Town 
Clerk Jewett at 7.35. 
Charles C. Dodge was elected moder- 
ator by nomination. 
Art. 2. Geo. E. Hildreth moved 
an appropriation of $700 for exten- 
sion, of a six-inch water main on 
Lincoln avenue. Voted. Voted un- 
der Art. 3, on motion of Thomas 
Baker to appropriate $525 to extend 
the sewer from School street to. the 
northwest end of Lincoln avenue. 
Art. 4. E. P. Stanley moved that 
the vote under Art. 7 of the meeting 
held Aug. 13, 1913, and adjourned 
to Aug. 30, 1913, relative to adoption 
of sewer rates as made by the sewer 
cominissioners, be rescinded. This 
was passed by a unanimous vote.” 
This action leaves the town without 
sewer assessment and the entire ex- 
pense of sewer maintainance will go 
into the general tax levy. 
Art. 5. E. S. Knight moved that 
the selectmen be authorized to settle 
the case of Lord vs. the Town of 
Manchester for land damage at 
Lord’s cranberry meadow. This is 
for land taken in connection with 
building the water works road. The 
amount involved is $400, to be taken 
from the general bond issue. Voted. 
Art. 6. Harry Hooper moved that 
$800 be appropriated to provide and 
maintain a public dump and that the 
selectmen be authorized to secure a 
proper place. E. P. Stanley thought 
we should first find out where a place 
can be obtained; Geo. Hobbs said 
the superintendent of streets had 
furnished a dump for several years 
and was willing to continue it if the 
town would provide a man to take 
care of it; E. S. Knight said thie 
selectmen had about all they could 
do to take care of the dumps now in 
use. A dump is a nuisance anywhere 
you put it. Mr. Stanley remarked 
that Beverly had a dump almost 
in the center of the city and 
everything burnable is put in a cage 
and burned every day.- Mr. Crafts 
amended the motion to pass over. 
Mr. Hobbs. said there was much 
complaint about dumps and ought 
not to pass over. Geo. R. Dean 
favored a dump. He offered an 
amendment that a committee of five 
be appointed to investigate the mat- 
ter of a public dump and report at 
adjourned meeting. This was car- 
ried and Harry Hooper, G. R. Dean, 
€. L. Crafts, Albert Sinnicks and 
P. Stanley were appointed as the 
LAST

committee. 
Under Art. 7, $300 was appro- 
priated to build a stone wall on thie 
town property on Brook street. 
Art. 8. Relative to changing the 
election of board of selectmen from 
one to three years, E. P. Stanley 
moved to pass over. H. T. Bingham 
said he was convinced that it was the 
best thing to do to elect for three 
year terms which would always i 
sure having two men on the board 
with experience, which was a great 
advantage. The motion to pass over 
was put and carried by a very large 
majority. At 8.10 the meeting dis- 
solved.
