Elections during the year were: the annual town election, the state primaries, and the state election. In addition, a spe- cial election was ordered by the selectmen to fill the vacancy in the office of Highway Surveyor because of the failure to elect at the regular town election, the result at that election having been a tie vote between two candidates.
My special thanks are due the Librarian for assistance in posting notices, etc., during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
