THE auditors have completed the ac-
counts of the town Road Commissioner,
Chas. H. lockwood, aud find that he be-
gan the year with an indebtedness of
some $3.50. This was incurred in the
first place because of a miscalculation
regarding the State highway fund that
would probably be returned to the town.
During the year just closed the highway
money has kept the roads in repair, and
the debt has been reduced to some $43,

machine, which is paid for, showing a
wise use of the funds in this department.
