In submitting our report to the voters for the past year we wish to call their attention to several expenditures that were unlooked for when the annual appropriation was made. At the Town Home alterations ordered by the State Building Inspectors, cost over $2200. The overseers had no choice in the matter, and were given thirty days to make the repairs or suffer the consequences. The lighting system had to be re- arranged.
Another item of expense incurred in 1926 was the large number of insurance policies that had to be renewed.
