ADJOURNED TOWN MEETING.
Attended By About Twenty Citizens Vote To Lay 7-MiII Tas-S54.ooo For SchooIs-$o5o For Hospital.

At the adjourned town meeting held in the town hall Saturday afternoon about twenty of the electors of the town were present George F. Taylor the town officers were read and ac- cepted.
 The first business to come before the meeting was the laying Of a town tax. Frank F. Fenton stated that heretofore the laying of the tax had been put off until sometime in the spring of the year, but he saw nc reason why some action should not be taken on the matter at the present meeting. The opinion of the select men was that a seven mill tax would serve all purposes.
 At this point there was some dis cussion on the advisability of laying the tax at the present meeting but ii was pointed out that if the tax was now laid it would greatly help mat ters in making out the rate book. F J. Randall then made a motion that the seven mill tax should be laid and it was so voted. 7
 The selectmen and the town treas urer were given power to borrow money to meet the expenses of the town. A resolution introduced by H c. Lathrop was adopted whereby $64,000 should be appropriated for the town school expenses for the year.
 A resolution, whereby $9of: sholIlo be appropriated for St. Joseph's hos pital upon the condition that the towr would not have to pay more than five dollars a week for it's patients at that institution, was adopted.
 Town Counsel w. A. King intro duced a resolution whereby the se- lectmen were given power to make an exchange which would straighter the town line. The resolution was adopted. MT. King introduced another resolution whereby the meeting should appropriate S100 for the pub. lie library in Windham. This was done in order that the library would get the appropriation from the state The request of Timothy Colbert ant others for a street light in Soutf Windham was granted The meeting then adjourned
