HIGHWAYS.
We recommend $40,000 00 for highways this year, an in- crease of $10,000.00 over 1920. The Highway Surveyor states that with this increased appropriation he can take care of all streets for which repairs are asked for in the Town Warrant and place them in good condition. For this reason we recom- mend that Articles 11, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 28 be passed over. Similarly $2,550.00 has been added to sidewalks and Articles 11, 20, 22, 23 should be passed over.
