SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The town's fiscal year closed Dec. 31, all bills are paid and there is a cash balance of $2,502.55 in the treasury.
The unpaid taxes plus the interest on same amounts to $5,177.22.
The town appropriated $2,150.00 for general road work and $1,500.00 for oiling roads. We would recommend the same appropriation for 1924, if we do this the state will give us $3,225.00 for roads and we probably can get the Public Works Commission to make us an allotment of $1,500.00 for oiling.
