 Editor of Ne,ps:
 Are the taxpayers aware that our highways have cost $l1 455.67 (includ- ing the Bennett Hill iob) in the last two years? That is about $400 % less than we raise on our grand list for a year. Last Monday the town voted to build two new bridges at an expense not to exceed 5000. That makes $14. 455 .67 for highways and bridges in little over two years. The cost of the Bennett Hill lob. including $100 land damages paid to Mrs Bonner, is $6, 769 AT. The whole amount that the state pays on this job is $4, ,O25 54. That leaves BIO, 430.1 IS that the town alone will have expended on it's highways in about two years and three months, ss the new bridges will probably be built this fall. These fig ures do not include the expenses on the roads from September to next January which is included in the period of two years and three months above mention cd. I calculate that a two per cent tax must be laid for three years in success. ion to leave the town in as good finan- cial condition as it was two years ago.
