accepted and the same amount appr0-
o,iated as last year, $2345. A twelve
mill tax was voted to meet che expenses
for the current year. The road question
brought out some sharp discussion, a.
there was an effort made by some to CEN
sure the sele ctmen for not keeping them
In better condition. Although the roads
were terribly washed late IN the winter
and in May, the road expenses were but
little above the ordinary, and had it not
been 90 dry it was impossible to do any
work, sthey would have been kept up
satisf actorily. 1t was finally voted to
work them as last year, under the charge
of the selectmen hiring by the day, CIV
ing the work to taxpayers in town. The
library question was subject OF long dis
cussion In order that the officers OF the
library association and the voters might
understand one another in the matter.
It was hoped that the town would be
willing to vote a small sum annually fol-
the maintenance and increase Of tho IL

general management to the association
with three members of the directors to
