Voted to Exempt Members Of the Home

afternoon for The purpne of levying a
tax for the ensuinI se&r. The meeting

stated that the principal business of
the meeting was to lay tax rate, as
appropriations AMI other business had
been attended at the October meeting
From the figures submitted by the
selectmen, the estimated running ex-
pc aes of the town for the coming year

railroad bond as voted at the annual
meeting, will make S, 1000 additional.

year. It was voted to make the tax rate
the same as last year, l5 mills.

bers of the Home Guard was brought
up and after short discussion it was

Between the crosses, row on row,

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, but now we lie

To you from failing lanas we throw
The torch, be yours to held it high,
