Selectmen's Report
Your Selectmen herewith submit the following re- port :
The Board organized on February 2nd. with Howard Baker as Chairman and Oakley Ames as clerk. Meetings have been held every Monday night. Mr. Hallock Nichols and Mr. Lyle Wales were appointed Superinten- dents of Highways and Bridges respectively.

Report of Finance Committee
The Finance Committee has met and carefully and deliberately considered the various articles calling for ap- propriations.
The following recommendations were made :
That no overdraft be made by any department.
That a reserve fund of $2,000.00 be established.
That bids be called for on all major projects before awarding contracts.
That the Sinking Fund Commission be retained or a new one created, as there will be a substantial surplus when the water bonds are retired in 1933.
That all common day laborers be hired for $.40 per hour or less.
We recommend that $3,000.00 be taken from free cash on hand to be used by the assessors to reduce taxes.
A detailed account of the finances as recommended by the Finance Committee will be found in another column.
