AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session the budget OF
appropriations was taken up. There was
general discussion of the needs OF the
various departments, which were 30
thoroughly understood by the members
OF the board returned from last year,
that comparatively little time was
occupied.
The general sentiment OF the board was |
in favor OF pruning down the appropria- |
tions in order II possible to reduce the !
rate of taxation, or at least to keep II as
low as last year, with a reduction In valu- |
alton which is anticipated. The total OF |
appropriations finally voted, S37 612, Is
the lowest since 1895, when 1t was s37, 1873.
The largest reduction in any fund is the
bridge fund, which was made larger last |
year in anticipation OF the building of
new Bangor bridge.
Following is list OF the appropriations
as decided upon, which was given its two
readinl and passed under suspension OF |
rules. 1t is accompanied here by state |
