 The action of the county commissioners Tn reducing the license fee to $500 has set the selectmen to thinking as to how they the present income. It was expected that the receipts from this source would amount to about s63. 900. but the action of the commissioners will reduce 1t to a little over s47 .OO0. The tax of two mllls levied at the last town meeting was also con- sidered insufficient. especially when it was known at that time that temporary loans amounting to SS3. .OO0 had been incurred in 1893 and this should be met in addition to the regular expenses. The estimated expense for the town during the present year amounts to SIPS, ,3O1. The income from every source will amount to about Sl09. 900. leaving balance of about s20. 900 for the paym of which no provi- sion has been made. In view of these facts the taxpayers need not be surprised if they should be called together in town meeting before long to consider the con- dition of the towns finances.
