the Town for a raise of pay at the 
annual meeting, if not sooner, to 
bring their salaries up in proportion 
to the increasing cost of living. The 
present rate of pay for regular patrol- 
men is $3 per day. What increase 
may be asked is not known. Through- 
out the state towns and cities are tak- 
ing action to increase the salaries of 
their officers in keeping with the in-~

ing behind other towns.

Ropert D. BAKER. 
The sudden death of Robert Davis 
Baker, son of J. Davis and H. Lor- 
etta Baker of 8 Lincoln st., Manches- 
ter, was a decided shock to the young 
man’s wide circle of friends and ac- 
cuaintances. - His death occured 
shortly after 2 o’clock on Saturday 
morning of last week after an illness 
of a few days. He was 17 years, 6 
months and 12 days old. Diabetes 
was the cause of death. 
The young man was a member of 
the class which will graduate from 
Story High school next June and 
was popular with his classmates and 
a wide circle of outside acquaintances. 
Although apparently in good health 
he had been suffering from the dis- 
ease which caused his death for more 
than a year. About a year ago he 
underwent treatment at the Mass. 
General hospital and was discharged 
as improved. Since then he had been 
about as usual until the week of his 
death. He was out Tuesday of last
