decided by q unanimous vote that Cox &
Henze, who at tho last meeting were
awarded the contract for the burial of the
town dead, should ale an agreement with
the town authorities for the faithful per.
Torrance Of the requirements of the con-
tract. This action is the result of the Fifty
cent bid submitted by Cox & Hepss for the
burial of the town dead between the ages
Of three and twelve years.
Selsctman Ssahl stated that in his opin-
ION the town uudertakers should be COM
PEELED to enter into contract with the
town for the faithful performance of the
duties required, the same a. other con-
tractors are required to do. He stated
that the ATTY cent bid seemed very queer
to him. - during the past year he had
buried thirty.one children between the
ages of three and twelve years, and he de-
aired that the town dead pe given proper
burial. and not buried like dogs. With
this end in view he desired that an agree
ment be made to insure the living up to of
the contract.
Selectman Baldwin also favored the plan
and It was finally unanimously decided to
have the agreement entered into.

qnently proved to be Q barroom. In exec
