 At the town meeting held last Satur- day Hon. E. 0. Pinney acted as moder- ator, and it was voted to lay tax of 20 mills on the dollar on the list next to be completed, made payable on or before the 1st day of May; to take no action in rela- ton to the furnishing of free text books to the pupils of the public schools; to ap- propriate one hundred dollars for the ob- servance of memorial day." to pursue the same methods for the next three years as those followed in the past three years in the repair and maintenance of high ways. The original resolution passed at the meeting held Nov. 12, 1888, was as follows: "Resolved-That the repairing of highways in the town of Stafford be done for term of three years from April 1st, 1889, by teams owned by the town, the selectmen to buy cattle to make up two separate teams, with all necessary tools for 8 successful prosecution of the work to be done, and to contract with two suitable persons, to act as their agents, to look after and direct all work on the roads, to have charge of the teams and tools, and hire such help as in their j,1dr op% fc fo ho fooy to the best advantage of the town" In consequence of the inability of the force provided to put the roads in order until very late in the season, at the next meet ing, held on Nov. 4, 1889, it was voted to instruct the selectmen to put all the roads in repair earlier in the season, if possible, and in the discussion preceding the vote 1t seemed to be the desire of all present that in the outskirts of the town which the town teams could not reach in time, arrangements should be made by the se- lectmen with suitable persons wherein to perform the work.
