 The board has been working on the budget for the past several weeks and the appropriations of many of the departments have been practically decided upon. At the last board meeting a number of items were left open pending further consideration, among these the appropriation for street lights and hydrants. Efforts were to be made to arrange to have these items reduced.
 The tentative figures arrived at call for 25. mill tax rate. Last years rate was 27 mills.

The revaluation com mittee making a general increase in the grand list of 33 1-3 per cent which was later clut T by assessors 15 per cent while cut from 27 to 25 mills will mean reduction of but per cent in the tax rate. Figuring from this angle the tax rate for the coming year to cor respond with the general grand list increase should be to about 21 mills.
