Paris Town Matters,

Interesting items from the assessors
report: There are $50 horses and colt
owned Ia town or were owned las
spring; 1900 cows, 48 oxen, and young
cattle to the number of 972. There were
267 sheep and 242 swine. There were
also 200 automobiles owned In town.
There was appropriated and assessed
$40, 1850, with tax rate Of $3.50 on
thousand dollars. There are 1928 pollI
taxed and untaxed.
It may be of interest to state there ar
1855 male dogs and - female dogs IL
town.
In the highway account the appropria
ton and expenditures nearly balance
there being an unexpended balance o.
forty ak cents. The amount expended
was s7,385.41.
The amount paid on snow bills wal
s., 1851 0S, the appropriation being over
drawn $500 40.
The maintenance of state aid highway
borne jointly by town and state cos'
$500.
The appropriation for state road wa!
$550.0O with an equal amount received
from the state, and an unexpended bal
ance from last year of s1421s made tht
amount expended s11l4.21.
There 10 q balance In favor of the towr
In the poor account of S69.56. Th'
amount available for this department
with amounts received from the state
other towns and town farm credits wal
s., 6S1 40.
The town farm, as is usually the case
did not pay expenses, although the re
ceipts therefrom were larger than usual
amounting In all to $1,00l.77. The
effect of the war on prices received fol
produce sold can be seen in the item fol
beans. That part of the crop sold
amounted to $1,000. Beans are moi
large producers and only war prices
could bring In such amount.
There are only two inmates of the
farm, one of whom is away from the
farm, at present. Eighteen tramps were
entertained at the farm during the year
The balance against the farm was 1878. 40
OF the amount spent for the unfor
tunate poor $751; 3 was for the poor oil
other towns.
The amount of $294.75 was spent fol
families of civil and Spanish war vete
rams.
The numerous things which come I'M
der the miscellaneous account overrar
the amount available, which was "a,
2SS. 2s, by s47.47.
Dogs and foxes caused some havoc II
this account, as it cost some 1927. te
settle the damage done by them. Sheep
turkeys and hens we're the victims
Foxes cost the town S2S 90 Of the above
account and the balance is chsrgesble tt
dogs.
The taxes of the year have all beer
collected except the small amount o.
s276.3S. Attachments were made to the
extent of S367.56.
Including some $4,000 In school anc
other funds, only the interest on which
has to be paid, the net debt of the towr
is shown by the statement OF fnancia
standing to be s12,75S.s9.

Navy Nee ds Men.

Recruiting for the navy Is booming
again.
It 10 hoped that many young men,
stimulated by the advantages shown and
the opportunities offered, will enter the
navy for that splendid training for the
sea which will equip them later, should
they desire, for officers, petty officers,
and crews Of our greatly expanding mer.
chant marine.
At the present time there Is urgent need
of flremen, machinist's mates, appren-
tlce seamep, boilermakers, ships cooks,
hospital apprentices, and officers ser
wants (mess attendants.)
BY recent ruling OF the Navy Depart
ment, the minimum age limit for enlist,
ment as apprentice seamen has been re-
duced to seventeen. Applicants OF this
age will be required to present consent
papers, signed by Q parent or guardian
Consent papers will be furnished upor

been heard as to the matter Of town OFF,

As Is the case with all other political
units large and small, and at least some
individuals, the serious problem which
the town meeting will have to face Is the
financial question. More money must
be raised for about every purpose, much
more for some purposes, and We have
already stable mortgage on next years
tar assessment, in the form OF special
appropriations made during the year.
II we settle up, and appropriate what
seems to be absolutely necessary" for
the coming year, we shall have a corpu-
lent tax rate. How to steer between
parsimouy and an unbearable rate Is the
difficulty.
There have already been used out of
the assessment of 1919 the following
sums, in continuing or special appropria-
lions:
