are madc Az follows;
THAT the towns be assisted III bus.

600 and GlaremoRt and Weathersneld
together $4,000 The Vermont plan
would impose SEA 900 upon New Hamp.
shire and upon Vermont only STE, 900.
I'VE recommend the reimbursement
of towns that have freed their bridges

state, n q matter 10 be left 10 the legis.
