Middletown, Feb. 25.--The annual re-
port of the Commissioner OF the Town
of Middctown are now in the hands OF the
printers, and show that under the present
board the affairs Of the town have been
very we'll managed. A law was passed by
the Legislature of 1918, allowing the
town to collect and keep, for the purpose
of the maintaincnce of the two principal
streets through the town, their own road
tax, which usually amounts from $2,5OO
to So, 700. 1t had been the policy Of some
of the previous town boards TO expend this
money pecemeal, building short stretch
of new street each year, which proved to
be expensive. The present board has
held to the policy of saving the money
each year until a sufficient amount is
accumulated to do at least one Of the two
streets completely, and through their
foresight the town now has a balance on
hand of more than $4,000
