carter sara ne was not warned OF the
accident until about a month ago
and Furthermore thanked Mr.. Moore
for being present at the meeting and
criticizing everything that went on.
They were beginning to get the frst
selectman's goat" apparently.
Mr.. Moore then brought UP the
question OF the pay telephone in the
town clerks office. He said that It Is
shame that the town clerk has TO
pay for every call that goes out OF
the office. Mr., Carter replied that
the phone was put In because OF the
fact that many toll line calls had
been recorded on the original phone
and the town had been required to
pay the bills because OF the fact that
the identity of those making the
calls could not be learned. He said
II had been the habit OF men con-
/ victed In the town court, to call out
of town IN order 10 secure bonds
| many times, and that was the reason
why the pay station had been placed
there.
"Well," said Mr.. Moore, why don't
YOU put a pay station in tho court
| room. and let the town clerk have
the free Use OF his telephone. What
We want Is better service for the
town clerk"
"Bitter service. you mean" said
the first selectman, with a wry smile.
| Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff said
| that 1t has been decidedly incon-
| venient for him at times, with the
pay phone In the office. The first
selectman said that he would take
steps to have the matter remedied.
When the motion was presented,
which II passed, would authorize the
selectmen to borrow s95,oO0 to pay
the expenses OF the town, Mr.. Alling
objected, saying that It was too
much. He amended the motion to
call for 100000.
He launched into the tax collector
for not bringing In enough money to
pay the bills, but was later informed
that 1t was not the fault Of the COL
lector and that the money would
carry the town over until the taxes
became due.
Mr.. Alling's amendment was lost
and the resolution approved. Mr..
Alling also launched into a descrip-
ton Of the methods of tax collection.
On the question of building
road, figures presented by the first
selectman showed that 1t would cost
about $4,000 for 1000 feet OF road
way, asphalt-macadam construction,
! s feet wide. There are somewhat
more than 1000 feet on the project
: ed highway. The matter was tabled.

lowing resolution regarding building
lines and it vas passed by the meet
