NEW VAULT FOR TOWN RECORDS, ETC.
In complying with the vote of the town at the last an- nual town meeting in regard to building a fire-proof vault at the selectmen's room in the Library building, we have built a vault capable of every need for which it is intended, and containing separate compartments for the town clerk and town treasurer. The different officers of the town who have occasion to use it have been supplied with keys to the select- men's room, which gives them access to the vault at all times, this being a very satisfactory arrangement to all who have occasion to use it.
