jor amount, $27,38S.62 having been spent. Other expenditures follow: outside poor, $17,684.54; hospitals, $7,900.67; administration, $7,543.54; Meadowbrook home, $5,639.34; chil- dren in homes, $4,583.28.
 Credits amount to $6,970.70 in un- appropriated income and 2l6 as an income for the sale of wood from town property.
 The next expense of $63,553.20 is for II months an average monthly expenditure of $5,777.56 and if this sum is set as probable expense for this month, 1t will mean total 12- month expenditure of $69,330 or $670 less than the budget allows. Budget Had Been Cut This is considered quite good by board members in view of the fact the budget was sliced $5,000 last year from that of the year before. At that time predictions were made that the board would exceed the budget by far but these predictions proved far off.
 A considerable aid in the last few months was the Works Progress Ad- ministration which took a good many off the welfare list and gave them work.
 Louis De Carlo, republican mer1- Der of the welfare board, asked at last nights session for the total amount received from the state for care of aliens. Supt. Scully gave him the total figures of $22,207.57 or a little less than $5,600 average quarterly. However Warden Sheri- dan pointed out this was not addi- tional money coming to the depart ment as this sum Is spent by the department from its budget for alieu aid and the state only reim- purses the department for the ex- penditure.
 Durkin Raps LavatOry
 The womens lavatory ct the Town Hall is mot proper place for @ decent woman to go into" and is Q disgrace" Richard Durkin, nen- Der of the welfare board, said at the meeting last night. Plans to prevent the practice of dishguring the walls with obsence writing and destroying part of the lavatory were discussed.
 The disflguring of the walls is not the work of children, Mir. Dur kin said, for some is near the cell ing and no child could not reach that far up. It appears as though scrawled with a hairpin, he added. The cover of the toilet seat has been knocked off by persons who used 1t to climb upon in order to write on the walls, he said.
 Those who do this should be ashamed of themselves, "Mr. Dur kin declared. Warden Sheridan was of the opinion that 1t was done during noon hours by girls who litter the lavatory with cigarettes, but Superintendent Scully and Will liam Mariana, board members, be- lieve 1t is done at night.
 Superintendent Scully said he had thought of closing in part of the place to limit the number in there at one time. Warden Sheridan did not favor this, saying he does not think the many should suffer be- cause of the actions of a few. He favored the hiring of matron to keepu watch over the place from 6 to 10 in the evening, the woman ti be selected from those on the welfare list. T think the place would be more used If better kept" he said. He arrested the Town Hall officials could check on it during the day.
 MT. Durkin asked the press ti let the public know of the condition and warned that anybody caught for such disagreement will be prosecuted. The section was newly painted last year.
 Urges Comfort station
 He said the town is one of the few towns in the country which hasn't a public comfort station and said one should be located near the Whittemore Memorial bridge. War den Sheridan said there has been some opposition to that location for the suggested station.
 As was expected Marchal McCann was reappointed for anther year as superintendent of the town farm at yearly salary of $l,200. Warden Sheridan and Richard Uarkinson, who moved the re-appointment, were loud in their praise of the superintendent. Not One Complaint
 We are very well satisiield with his work" The warden declared. It is seldom not one complaint is re- ceived concerning the superinten- dent during a year. have yet to hear one against MT. McCann." Mir. Durkin said he had visited the Meadowbrook home several times and found everything very satis- factory.
