This was caused partly by an error in
Measuring and partly by failure OF the c.
Y. X. X. to pay against their land on So
his account to come out even. and before
he work was commenced on Pleasant st.
he walks then laid were all measured by
lin and Mr.. Brooks. Every abutting prop
rty owner has settled in full, except the
:. V. X. X. Co., which claimed that its
ard was in the nature of public square.
Owing to the many large Jobs done dur
ng the past year the highway account
las been over-run some four or five hun
red dollars, the exact amount being not
low obtainRble. This will NOT necessitate
ny larger tax the coming year unless the :
illage wishes to make many more perma-
ent improvements on the streets.
