He had spoken to the state highway commissioner about it and the latter said he would be glad to resurface it this month, providing the town would pay it's quarter of the ex- pense. This road is built by the state and maintained by it, the town paying one-fourth of the upkeep. The pro- posed action was superf1uous because the state can repair the road when 1t pleases and the town must pay it's share.

Austin moved the meeting 9d- journ as the matters under disc s- sion would necessarily come befor. the new finance board A resolution. by MT. Stevens to have the New Britain road repaired was carried bE a vote of 39 to 19. The selectmatn will confer with the state highway commission and the road will be fixed this fall.
