 The annual town meeting for the levying of a town tax was held We'd nesday evening at the town hall. It was voted that the tax for 1920 be 10 mills. The meeting. which lasted only about 20 minutes, was called to order by Town Clerk Frank P. Fenton . at 8 o'clock. Eugene Randall was chosen moderator. As he declined, H. c. Lathrop was the choice. MT. La- throp then called upon Clerk Frank P. Fenton to read the warning, and then the motion for the 1920 tax was put.
 MT. Randall. speaking for others as well as for himself. made a motion that the tax be 10 mills. R. H. Fenton suggested as an amendment that, as the town was at present running be- hind, it would be better to have larger tax this year, and proposed a F mill tax. Mir Randall said this was more than was needed and more than many property owners cared to pay. Another man had other suggestions to make.
 As there was some doubt about the amount to be raised in taxes, Modera- | tor Lathrop called upon the clerk to | read the figures of the grand list. This | was done and as final feures it was 1 seen that a sum of $153,375 was to be 1 raised by a town tax. Clerk Fenton l stated that 10 mill tax would raise | s156,000, which in the estimation of | First Selectman James Smith would
 be enough to cover the town expenses. l The additional grant Of $a,500 for
 teachers salary increases this year
 was offset by the s1oo00 that would
 be raised this year. not subject to 1 taxation.
 | Moderator Lathrop called for aa aye
 and nay vote on the 12 mill tax
 amendment. This was lost. 4 call
 for a vote on the 10 mill tax resulted
 in an undecided vote but the second
 vote overwhelmingly favored the 1G
 mill tax. The meeting adjourned al
 S.2o.
