 Selectman William J. Johnson will present resolution calling for Il tax ate of 20 mills at the special town meeting tomorrow evening.
 According to Mr. Johnson, this amount will be sufficient to cover the estimated expenses Of the town and possibly leave small Bum over for added expenses. The present tax rate Is 19 mills, but the budget, being larger than the previous year, calls for a slight increase, Selectman Johnson has gone over the budget carefully and at first figured on a tax of about l9 and onc-half mills. That rate, however, would barely cover the expenses, and the town would prob- ably find itself in debt at the end of the year, as there are generally other expenses added to the budgt as the months go by, he says.
 The grand list now totals s4,220,- 275, following the additions made by the board of relief The sum of $S2,- 7S4.S7 will be raised by taxes The estimated income to be raised from other sources will amount to ST. 5S6.50 Of this amount s3.Oo0 will come from personal taxes and the re- maining sum. $4,5S6.50, will come from the state. The tax rate of 20 mills will bring in about S4,405.50. This amount, in addition to the re- turns from personal and state tax, will cover the budget. The estimated expenses of the town are s9o,620.5o. The total sum to be collected from taxes will come to s9l,992.
