Inspection and Railroad Order.
Twenty-one articles make up the war
rant for the annual town meeting. which
will be held in Festival hall March l. and
while most of them are of a routine ma
ture several new articles appear. The
warrant was posted Wednesday after
noon. First comes the question of IL
cense or no license, which has to be de-
cided by ballot, and while the votes on
that subject are being cast the other
business will be taken up. The town
voted against license by a majority of
1853 last year.
The first article out of the ordinary is
article 3, to see whether the selectmen
shall be empowered and authorized to
appoint one or two road commissioners,
the number to be determined by the
town Section /, No. 1917, Acts of 1910,
provides that towns may, if they so vote,
have the seectmen appoint the road COM
missioners instead of electing them by
ballot
There are two articles relating to high
ways: one is to see how much the town
will appropriate for highway purposes
under No 1875, Acts of 1910. The new
law provides that no part of the town
highway tax may be used for the care of
winter roads but must be expended on
the summer roads, funds for maintaining
the winter roads being transferred by the
selectmen from the general fund. The
other highway article is to see If the
town will vote to raise money in excess
OF the amount required by law to be
raised for highways, to take advantage
of the provisions of section /, No 127
Acts of 1910. and if so, how much. Under
the new state Aid law the limit of aid
to a town has been raised to $50 Here
tofore the limit has been $500
