At the town meeting, Thursday. il was
voted that the Treasurer bc authorized TO
hire 81 .4o0.oo Tor the support OF poor and
other town charges during the balance Of
the year 1880. 1t seems that the Sc
lectmen ran short OF funds because they
were obliged TO cxpend 50 much cash ON
the highways. Six thousand dollars, raised
each wear and expended in labor, would
naturally seem 70 be enough TO keep the
roads Of this town in repair. The system
Of districts, however, ab>orbs the whole
amount and a large part Of it goes toward
breaking out roads We believe there i
something rotten In this system, and those
who pay their taxes In cash will soon de-
mand change in this matter. lfthc labor

the treasury is Slapped TO the extent of
nearly two thousand dollars annually. \
good road agent, with salary OF $500,
and two or three assistants, at 5000 each,
