Among the changes that have tak- 
en place at Manchester since last 
season, and which are of mucli inter- 
est to summer cottagers returning 
this year, is the introduction of city 
delivery, for the Manchester post- 
office. The rapid increase in the 
postoffice business at Manchester 
within the last six or seven years has 
made this possible. Many of the 
summer cottagers will now have 
their mail delivered to their houses 
by earriers, where formerly, private 
mail boys had to be hired. In many 
eases, however, the houses stand so 
far back from the highway that the 
regulations of the department will 
-not permit carriers to deliver to 
such houses, though boxes may be 
placed near the highway for the de- 
posit of such mail. Further particu- 
lars regarding this may be obtained 
by inquiry at the postoffice. In the 
winter months the services do not 
demand a carrier on the Smith’s 
point section. Postmaster Wheaton, 
however, has arranged to have a sub- 
stitute carrier in this section during 
the summer months. 
In connection with this change, a 
re-arrangement of the postoffice was 
necessitated. The interior has been 
entirely remodeled. All of the call 
boxes have been removed, and the 
lobby and work-room have been 
greatly improved. 
Other information concerning the 
postoffice is given below For the fis- 
eal year ending April 1, 1910, there 
was an increase of $1,942.81 in the 
sale of stamped paper. The year end-

TOWN OF MANCHESTER 
ASSESSORS’ NOTIGE 
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 41 
of part 1 of chapter 490 of the Acts of 
1909, all persons, firms, and corporations, 
domestic or foreign, subject to taxation in 
said town are hereby notified to bring in 
to the assessors of said town ON OR BE- 
FORE JUNE 1, next, in case of residents, 
true lists of all their polls and estates, 
both real and personal, (not exempt by 
law from taxation), of which they are 
possessed on the first day of April in the 
current year, and in case of non-residents 
and foreign corporations, true lists of all 
their estate, both real and personal, in 
said town not exempt from taxation, which 
lists must be verified by oath as required 
by Section 43 of said part 1. 
Under the provisions of Section 42 of 
said part 1, the above-mentioned lists must 
be in form prescribed by the Tax Commis- 
sioner of the Commonwealth. These blank 
forms may be had at the Assessors’ office, 
or will be mailed to any address upon ap- 
plication. 
Section 45 of part 1 of chapter 490, Acts 
of 1909. A mortgagor or mortgagee of 
real estate may bring in to the assessors 
of the city or town in which it lies, within 
the time prescribed by the notice under 
Section 41, a statement vnder oath of the 
amount secured thereon or on each separ- 
ate parcel thereof, with the name and 
residence of every holder of an interest 
therein as mortgagor or mortgagee. If. 
such property is situated in two or more 
places, or if a recorded mortgage includes 
two or more estates or parts of an estate 
as security for one sum, such statement 
shall include an estimate of the interest 
of the mortgagee in each estate or part 
of an estate. The assessors shall, from 
such statement or otherwise, ascertain the 
proportionate interests of the mortgagor 
or mortgagee, respectively, in said estates, 
and shall assess the same accordingly. If, 
in any year, such statement is not brought 
in, the tax for that year on such real es- 
tate shall not be invalid merely for the 
reason that the interest of the mortgagee 
therein has not been assessed to him. 
In accordance with section 41 aforesaid, 
all persons and corporations are hereby re- 
quired to bring in to the assessors, on or 
before the first day of June next, true lists 
of all real and personal estate held by such 
persons and corporations, respectively, for 
literary, temperance, benevolent, charitable 
or scientific purposes on the first day of 
April, in the current year, together with 
statements of the amounts of all receipts 
and expenditures by such persons or cor- 
porations for said purposes during the 
year next preceding said first day of April; 
such lists and statements to be in ac- 
cordance with blanks furnished by the 
Tax Commissioner.
