 A motion was made by John B Reed that it be the sense Of this meeting that 20 mill tax be lad at the adjourned mecting to be held the first Monday in March.
 Regarding the selectmen's budget, it was voted to drop the annual ap- propriation to the Visiting Nurse Association and add $500 to the schools appropriation. By doing this the state pays a part of the nurses salary.
 The matter of employing special constable and a town manager was indefinitely postponed. Street light ing all night was referred to the Fire District. The selectmen were authorized as usual, to borrow money to meet expenses.
 A suggestion by Allyn Fuller that a sinking fund be created with the money received from the bank and insurance tax, brought forth con- siderable discussion. The matter was finally indefinitely postponed.
 Regarding laying cobblestone or concrete ditches, it was decided that action should be deferred until after the selectmen had consulted the Highway Commissioner regarding a piece of concrete road in the town.

Sufficient funds were also granted the Douglas library to brick up the windows on the south side of the building.
