wich in common with the rest of the country has been passing through a pc
 riod of depression, which has not yet end
 ed, although there has been some in- provement in local conditions. This con-
 dition has affected to some degree the af- fairs of the town and under the circum- stances your selectmen feel that the town
 was very fortunate in that the outside
 poor and aims house expense has been
 kept within the appropriation. On the
 other hand however, the highway &C.,
 count shows an increased expenditure
 due to the policy of your board, espe-
 cially during the past winter and spring,
 in providing work for a considerable
 number of heads of families on the high
 ways as relief measure in addition to
 the regular employees. Some of the
 work done at that time could no doubt
 have been postponed but in a number of
 cases it was a question of furnishing em-
 ployment to worthy and willing citizens
 or giving support to them and their fam
 flies from the town funds. The method
 taken by your board has not only bene-
 ited the roads but saved the self-respect of the persons employed and they feel that such action will meet with no dis approval from the citizens. Besides making the usual repairs a number of the
 roads were finished with Travel. The only large items of work were two in number, the completion of the state highway on the Gallows Hill road so far the ap- propriation would allow, this being done 1 by the state and the improvement of the i road from Baclsus CorSar to Trading Cove done by the town without special i appropriation. This latter Toad has been | in very poor condition for a number of years but is now believed to be insuch l shape that it will need only minor re. pairs in the future. On the Gallows Hill

road most of the land has been ac- qu:red for the completion of the state highway from Taftville to Norwich Town and it is hoped that this can be finished in the early future. The bridges or the town have been kept in good repair ana the West Side bridge replaced with steel and concrete. As soon as the work is finished on the Central Vermont bridge in this location by the railroad, the town plans to place smooth nituminous surface on these bridges.

 The chemical apparatus for the Yan1 tis steam fire engine company has been purchased and delivered to the company and will provide protection for wide stretch of territory where no other fire apparatus is available.
 You will note an increase in the amount asked for neglected and depenent child ren. This is due to the fact that the state has raised the price of board and attendance for the inmates at the Mans field home from two dollars to ten dol lars a week. The state has also made an increase of one dollar a week in the amount which the town must pay for care of it's insane
 Such expenses as these are, of course, net under the control of your board but must be provided fer The same may be said of the county tax for which this year a large increase is necessery. This tax was laid by the representa- tives | from this county to the last legislature and assessed approximately on the diff ferent towns and this payment cannot 1 be avoided.

SAFETY IN A STORM

Here are some instructions as to what to do and what not to do in thunderstorm. They are issued by the State Fire Marshal of Louisiana and quoted with approval by Safety Engineering. i-:
 If you find yourself indoors during the thunderstorm don't go near the chimney, and avoid using the tele- phone; also don't touch a screen door.
 Out of doors during a thunderstorm the safest place is in the woods. Light ming may strike a tree, but it is not likely to be the one under which you have taken shelter. On the other hand the most foolish thing to do is to stand under an isolated tree. An open shed, especially if it is some distance from larger buildings, is nearly, if not quite as dangerous.
 Never go near a wire fence during a thunderstorm.
 Nine-tenths of the annual mortal ity from lightning occurs in the rural districts. including under this head towns and villages of 2,5OO inhao;- tants or less.
