In view of the rapid increase in the

two years taxpayers may well give CON
sideration to this question with view
to determining whether or not il is he
ing handled properly. From 1912 to
1915 inclusive the cost of town moor
ranged from Approximately $500 TO
s., 400, including the cost of maintain
ing the town farm. For the year end
ing Feb. /, 1917 the total was $6,646..
~ OF which SO ,240.07 was for the town
farm and $3,4O6.72 for poor not at the
farm. For eleven months ending Jan
l OF the present year the town books
showed an expenditure of $2.7s3.91 on
town farm account and $4,2l3.42 fol
other poor, making a total of $6,997 SO
which will probably be considerably in
creased by the end of the fiscal wear
This indicates an increase of nearly
