be run easily on n three mill basis, and leave a surplus of over s5o.00o. Mir. Kimberly stated that he believed that 1t would require a four mill tax and he did not believe fin hampering the ad- ministration of affairs by making 1t too low. James H. Macdonald stated that the report showed that sios.o0o was on hand when. as a matter of fact. only N+.0oo was turned over to Town Treasurer Mersick.
 Mir. Pardee explained that since the year had closed q large indebtedness which came due was paid. and thus 1t was that the balance was only $44.0o0 at this time. James D. Dewell advocated a three mill tax. saying that he had faith in the last administration. and if 1t was stated that three mill tax would run the town government, he had sufficient confidence in the republican administra- tion to believe that it could be run at that rate.
 The vote on the question carried the three mill plan through without Q dis | senting vote.
 The resolution calling for an appro- priation of $lO.o00 for the park commis- sion called forth discussion. Charles c. Kimberly moved to amend the resolu- | ton providing that the money should only be expended in the city, and also providing that report should be made
 to the town agent. of all expendi- lures.
 Judge Baldwin and Park Commission CT Blake spoke against this motion, and finally MT. Kimberly withdrew the amendment and the resolution was passed as originally offered.
