$7,944 62


At the beginning of the town year, after two months trial with a Superintendent of Streets, we voted to carry on the work on a different plan. We added to the money already ap- propriated the amount of the excise tax on last years basis, which was $1,774.11 making a total of $7,774.11 and as our expenditures for the year have been $7,944 62 we would


56


over-run the appropriations by only $170 51 if the excise tax had not been reduced.


The teams have worked 297 days and have spread 3,772 loads of gravel and cinders.


With a mileage of over ninety-two miles of roads and only three good gravel banks to draw from, we feel that the money has been equally distributed.
