TAX RATE, $8.60 
The Manchester Assessors Fix Rate a Little 
Less than Last Year—Valuation of Over 
$34,000,000. 
The rate of taxation in Manchester 
for the present year will be $8.60 on 
$1,000, an increase of 30 cents over 
last year and just the same as in 1904. 
The figure was given out by the 
assessors on Wednesday. Inasmuch 
as the appropriations this year are 
much in excess of last year, it was 
expected the rate would increase in 
like proportion, but there is an increase 
in valuation of $370,565, which of 
course helped keep the rate down. 
The taxable valuation this year is 
$11,360,627, after $38,920 worth~ of 
property exempt from taxation is de- 
ducted. The total valuation is $11,- 
399,547, of which amount the resident 
personal is $4,095,944, the resident 
real estate $3,193,550, the non-resident 
personal $372,133, and the non-resi-

dent real estate $3,737,920. There 
are 771 polls. 
This rate of $8.60 gives to Manches- 
ter probably the lowest rate of any 
town in the commonwealth—that is, 
any town deriving the benefits enjoyed 
by our citizens of good roads, walks, 
water, schools, fire and police protec- 
tion, etc. 
NIGHT 
BY MARGARET L. CORLIES 
Oh love, with myriad hues, 
Thou moonbeams soft and bright, 
And brilliant starry gems, 
That fleck the sky at night. 
Into my radiant soul, 
I feel thy presence steal, 
Casting a ray sublime, 
As at thy shrine I kneel. 
A halo bright hast thou, 
Which softly shines on me, 
And with that lighted torch 
Thy radiance | see. 
Entwined in close embrace, 
In thy loved arms I'll hide, 
And while thy kisses reign, 
I shall be glorified. 
IN TABLEAUX 
Interesting Form of Entertainment Furnished 
by North Shore Young People to Raise 
Funds For Purchase of Books for Magnolia 
Library. 
A most interesting form of enter- 
tainment was furnished at Library 
hall, Magnolia, Thursday evening, 
in the tableaux, given for the purpose 
of raising funds to purchase books for 
the Magnolia library. The young 
men and women who took part were 
all members of the summer colony 
along the shore, mostly from the ho- 
tel guests at Magnolia. 
Miss Gertrude Savage Sands, so 
well known in connection with the 
Vincent Club and other amateur 
theatricals in Boston, managed the 
business end of the affair, assisted by 
Miss Lillian Gillette of Chicago. 
Both young ladies are guests at the 
Oceanside.

Entrance to Norton’s Point, 
Manchester 
Visitors to the North Shore exult in 
the beauties of its delightful drives. 
Among the most attractive features of 
the roads are the entrances to the es- 
tates. Few of these are more beauti- 
ful than the entrance to Norton’s 
Point, Manchester. Notice the arch 
formed by the willows meeting over- 
head.
