Some of the reports OF town officers
which have been printed and distributed

| This is very good showing, in view Of
! the fact that several good-sized sums
have been spent in the Improvement or
the town and the increasing of the school
The reports of all OF the officers and
departments of the town show that public
AFFAIRS are being managed in n manner
TO which no exceptions can reasonably be
taken. The estimates OF amounts which
are necessary To conduct the work OF the
town for the ensuing year are very con-
been manifested In those who are in
charge OF the towns affairs there Is but
little doubt but what they will be made.

plat books. made by the town council. is
an excellent one. The pages OF the plat

drawings of a standard size. This VIII
entail considerable expense II 1t Is
done, but the improvement IL worth more
than it would cost and should be made
for the preservation OF the records.
