obligations amounted to upwards of
$4,000 and Mr.. Sanford said that an
annual report which failed to include
them was misleading to the public.
Tax collections began and newly
elected officials took office about Oct.
1 and the accounts should be brought
up to that period with as much COM
pleteness as was possible. Mr. San
ford further succeeded in effecting a
reduction of his own salary to $3.50, a
decrease of $50 from that paid his
predecessor, and saved the town an
other $50 by getting eliminated the
proposed appropriation for clerk hire.
He recommended both changes on the
ground that by reason of the road
contract system now in force the Sc
1ectmen had less to do than formerly
and could easily attend to the clerical
work themselves.
Another change in the towns hnan-
cial system which Capt. H. s. Barnes

At the spring meeting which will be
held after the completion of the new
grand list another effort will be made
to secure adoption of the proposed
change.
In the main the estimates submit
ted, by the finance committee were ap-
proved with little discussion. They
include $1,000 for the purchase of the
Dayton lot, $4,000 for state road con-
struction and $1,000 for permanent
road improvements, although the two
latter items met with some opposi-
ton on the score that most people
found their income insufficient to meet
the unusual demands upon it and ex-
penditures should be cut wherever
possible. A, suggestion that the state
road funds be used to help build the
trunk highway above the Ridge
brought out the fact that this could
not be done under the warning for the
meeting. The unusual appropriation
of $500 for legal expenses had refer.
ence to the tax suits in which the
town is defendant. When someone
proposed to cut out the allowance OF

was suggested that autos as well as
