MANCHESTER SECTION 
_Manchester Votes for Sewerage 
Friday August 22, 1913. 
Plant to be installed at Cost of $225,000 
At one of the most important town 
meetings in its history the town of 
Manchester voted last Monday night 
to install a system of sewerage for 
the town. . The cost of the plant, as 
at present outlined, will be $225,000 
the money to be raised by a bond is- 
sue covering a period of thirty years, 
—retiring $8,000 worth of bonds a 
year. The meeting was very largely 
attended and the vote on all questions 
of the warrant were very decided, in 
fact the vote to raise the $225,000 
which required a twe-thirds majority, 
went unanimously, there being 85 in 
favor and none against. 
It was felt by many previous to the 
meeting that this project which has 
been under consideration, and which 
has been in the hands of a special 
committee for the last two years 
would not pass. The remarks of Ma- 
jor Henry Higginson and Dr. George 
H. Washburn had more influence on 
the voters, it appeared, than any other 
speeches made. 
The meeting was called to order 
at 7.30 by Town Clerk Jewett, who 
read the warrant. Raymond C. Allen 
was chosen moderator. W.H. Hoare, 
Frank Foster and C. M. Dodge were 
appointed tellers. On motion of O. 
T. Roberts the report of the commit- 
tee on sewerage was taken from the 
table. It was voted on motion of E. 
P. Stanley that gentlemen present, 
residents of the town, but not voters, 
be accorded the privilege of the floor. 
W. C. Rust tried to introduce a mo- 
tion that all matters covered in the 
articles of the warrant be referred to 
the annual town meeting in-1914. The 
moderator ruled this motion out of 
order on the ground that any motion 
to refer must be relating to some 
special article in the warrant and not 
to the whole warrant. 
Among those speaking on the ques- 
tion were O. T. Roberts, Major H. 
L. Higginson, €:*W. Tainter, E. P. 
Stanley, Gordon Abbott, S$. Parker 
Bremer, Geo. E. Cabot, Albert Cun- 
G. E. WILLMONTON 
Attorney and 
Counselor at Law 
ningham, C. C. Dodge, Dr. Wash- 
burn and Dr. G. W. Blaisdell. 
The vote on the main question was 
114 to 54. The matter of a commis- 
sion of three to take charge of the 
installation of the sewer and _ their 
nomination was left in the hands of 
a committee to report at the adjourn- 
ed meeting. At 9.22 the meeting ad- 
journed to Saturday evening, August 
30th, at 7.30, when the final details 
as far as the town is concerned, will 
be acted upon.
