R. had been entirely left out and as they had done a great deal for the town and had gone to the trouble of marking the sites of all the Revolutionary soldiers graves in Berlin he felt that d member should be added to this committee, The motion was carried.
 The selectmen's report, atf1e treas urers' report, the town school commit tees report and the health officers re- port were then accepted from the table with but few criticisms. Judge filling made a few attempts to criti- cize Dr. Griswoid for work during his term as selectman but failed as the voters present did not care to hear his remarks.

First Selectman Carter then said that 5000 has already been borrowed and at least 25.000 moro would be needed. After much discus sion Mir. filling made a resolution that they be able to9borrow S35. 5.000 if necessary His amendment was car ried.
 As expenses of the assessors have be- come greater this year their amount was raised from S350 to s450 and the amount to the board om relief cut from s110 to s60.
 George Carter then referred to the s1, ,00o emergency fund. He would like to know how that Is going to last if s7O0 is to be used from it for the war memorial. At the last meeting it was decided that this amount was to be added to this years budget anod was not to come from the emergency fund. The money would be raised by additional taxes.
