 In compiling the annual town re- port the endeavor has been to make it ,elf explanatory. In the limited Ipaoe allowed, it is not always possible Q do this, and this article is intended o remove a wrong impression held y some in regard to one item of ex- ,ense named in the report. namely: Highway account, W. O. Ruby, ;120S.79. There is no mistake or rror in this entry; the error comes n assuming that this was paid for repairs on the highways. By vote at a special town meeting IN were authorized for the improvement if the Fisk Hill road, so called. Will ,ert O. Ruby did the work at an ex- 'ense of $754. 91, and Wm. D. Ruby $2OO from his own pocket oward this expense. AS may readily ,e seen, this leaves $453. S8 for highway repairs. This ex. ,lanation is due MT. Ruby because of he misunderstanding on account of ack of detail in the town report.
