Report of the Selectmen
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following report :
In the contingencies it will be noticed that we have had to pay out a large amount for bills previous to 1890. Also a large amount to the Fire Department for fires outside of the Fire District.
The heavy rains have caused a big expense on culverts and roads.
