But now, under present conditions, there is no reason why I cannot go on and not only improve Main street, but also the other streets. Thanking the voters for the confidence placed in me and the Town Clerk and Honorable Board of Selectmen for their many courtesies, and the hearty co-opera- tion of my workmen, I amı


Respectfully yours,


THOMAS F. DAVOREN, Highway Surveyor.
