In the opinion of the board members I a 12 mill tax may be fixed Asked as Ito what the income from a 12 mill tax
 
 needs the reply was made that all ineedfu1 appropriations of money by lthe town could be made, all necessary 1 improvements called for could be sat- Iisaed and still no addition to the ltovzla.s debts be added.
