TRUMBULL.
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.

At 10, the business meeting was
called to order by Moderator e. s. Fair
child and the warning read by Town
Clerk Louis M. Wakeley. First in order
was the report of the treasurer for the
year ending September 20, 1892. Lee
grand @. Beers pointed out an error of
the printers; the balance due Septem-
Der 20, 1891, was $1,000 81, instead of
1921 81. The debts are all paid and a
balance of over $1,000 now on hand. A.
S. C. Cook and Horace Fairchild ques-
toned the right of the selectmen to buy
$50 worth of crushed stone for future
use. j. A. Treadwell thought it wise
and expedient. "A motion was carried
to accept the full reports as printed. l..
G.. Beers stated that the full cost for the
macadam road had been paid, 1874 20,
$4,000 of which was paid the first year.
L. G. Beers made motion to lay a
tax of 10 mills, as the pauper tax was
very light and they had received from
the State $402 so. This motion was
carried. j. A. Treadwell moved that
the tax be made payable September 1,
1898, with per cent. discount to all
taxes paid on or before that time,
which was also carried.
For the schools, "a mill was appro-
priated, the same as last year.
F. S. Shelton made a motion that the
selectmen and two or three agents be
appointed to have them in charge. l..
G. Beers doubted the advisa bility of this,
but afterward approved of it, as the
right man was appointed. E. Platt rec
commended having an AGENT in each of
the three divisions. A. S. G. Cook heart
lily endorsed it. w. B. Coans wanted
good roads. He didn't care how they
got them. Thought some of the road
from Long Hill to Daniels Farm was
far from a good road. L. G. Beers
thought the road from w. B. Coan's to
Daniels Farm was better than he had
ever seen it. Lewis Brinsmade was in
favor of a change in managing our
roads. E. Platt offered, as an amend
ment, that three agents be appointed at
salary of $40 each and it was voted to
appoint three agents, one from the east,
middle and west districts to superintend
the roads, the salaries to be $40 a year
each and that they be authorized to en-
ploy men to work the roads. Orville S.
Mallett was appointed for the west side,
Frederick S. Sterling for the middle and
E. S. Fairchld for the east division.
j. A. Treadwe1 made a motion that
the paupers be left entirely with the Sc
lectmen and it was carried.
1t was voted to erect sign post on
the triangular green near A. A. Halls
store.
In the matter of sending John Stickits,
half breed Indian. to the school for i'm
beetles, the selectmen questioned his be-
longing to Trumbull, as his mother was
born in Newtown and cared for by that
town before her death. Th"@-A' o. u
the legality of IT, when was accept
Coolx - selectmen be authorized to
.nq uire into the matter and report at the
next annual town meeting.
