The Finance Committee wish to state in regard to the vari- ous requests asked for in the way of improvements on the various roads of the town all of these will be taken care of under Article 5 if the town will continue to cooperate with the State under provisions of Chapter 81 of the General laws there will be no poor roads in the town, in a few years.
Although we have recommended little over three thousand dollars more to be raised this year than last, there will be an increase in the tax rate over last year, more than the extra ap- propriations would call for, for the reason that there will be much less received from the State in income taxes.
The Tax Commissioner, Mr. Long, has notified all towns and cities to bear this in mind when making up their budgets for 1931, we have done so and kept the appropriations as low as possible.
