 Following the publication of the pro- posed budget of the departments of the flown of kilinEly. other than schools, came suggestions Monday from citizens as to where some of the estimates of eX- rcnse may he cut. The first and most ] generally seized upon estimate is the one calling for s19.015 for the Upkeep of the towns highways. Under the gen eral heading cf roads are the items of road repairs S14.00o. and upkeep Of ibridges. culverts, cutting brush, keeping lup railnes. grading Wheatley street shove,ng snow and some minor items.
 Some of inc critics Of the road repair stlmate-S14 OOo-sre certain that mucf less than this amount is required A suggestion was heard that the road re, pair work be put up for bids, as wa; done in the town of Brooklyn a few years aco. IL was pointed out by one tcitizen that the town is no longer re quired 10 spend any money at all fol the long stretch of state highway iron the Plainfed-KillinSly line to the Put uam-Kil.ngiyl for the several miles mere between Danieson and the Rhode
 Island line at Little Rest and for othel , stretches of strictly state highway ir town. One critic was so extreme as tC declare that the money appropriated fo'
 roads should not be s19015. but should
 be cut to not more than S10,0O0 Another proposed estimate that wa generally criticised was $1,40O for col , lcctinc the town taxes. Altogether tot , much is the manner in which the crit
 icisms of this estimate may be summed up. A promise was heard here Monday that opposition to voting so much mone. to the town tax collector will be mad, at the annual town meeting It wa, further stated that a number of Daniel son men would be willing to make tho collection for just half the estimate, 1T other words for S7n0
 Costs of poor to the town also came in for careful scrutiny. For the present fiscal year, which ends July 31 next, the estimate is S14,350. There is nothing in these figures, according to some oi the criticisms heard Monday to indicate that prohibition is helping any toward reducing this part of the towns expense The estimate calls for $500 for tho town farm, 5000 for outside poor ay Sl.250 for insane poor. in addition tc minor items. Attention of the critic! was called however, to the depresz condition of business and the possibility Of many being forced to ask aid iron the town during the coming cold tin l period.
