The action taken at the town meeting Thursday evening in appropriating $150 to hire expert accountants to inves- tigate the selectmen's report for several years past, etc., was the subject of much discussion about town yesterday and last evening and it is believed that such experts will have a great task to tackle if some of the bookkeeping of some of the selectmen in past years Is investigated. Not that there is any supposition of any dishonesty, but some of the officers in question while strictly honest and working for the best inter- est of the town were not experts at bookkeeping and kept accounts in manner that they understood them- selves at the time, but probably, no one else could without their help.
