$50 WhifHetree Chains.

The Office that advertises to do pretty
much all the job printing in this sec
ton of the country makes some very
queer and ineXcusable bluDders. In
the recently issued town report and
under the appraisal of property at the
almshouse is entered, $50 barrels of
soap grease, .75," 1900 bushels shorts,
$780," zone stone drag, S50.00," zone
whiffletree chain, $50.0O." c.. p. Car
penter or Wilder & Noyes would like
the contract for furnishing the town
with whiffietree chains at $50. 90 each.
1t is something of a joke on the three
auditors who certify that the property
is appraised at what in their Judgment
is fair valuation.
Besides the above there are other
blunders in the report 'toO numerous
to mention" But there is this expla-
nation, though it is no excuse: The
selectmen wanted Il cheap job, received
bids for cheap job, and got Il cheap
job. They seem to act on the supposi-
ton that the voters of the town will
not sustain them i'm getting Il credita-
BILE report printed and paying a living
price for it. This last job is the laugh
ing stock of the town.
