 An up-to-date system of book keeping is being installed in the town hall by First Selectman John J. Kimmel to simplify the keeping of the financial records and to pre- vent mistakes which have occurred | numerous times in the past. Under the antiquated ledger system former ly used it was almost impossible tc find desired item, and bills were frequently paid twice; Former Select man William J. Johnson carried the accounts in his head and found that plan more accurate than referring to the muddled ledger.
