FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT.
We note with satisfaction that the unpaid bills have been reduced to $655 54 this year as against $5133 59 outstanding in 1917.
We call attention to the yearly increase in expenses and to the necessity of using extreme caution in voting appropriations if a low tax rate is desired this year.
The Committee extends its thanks to the members of the various Boards, and to the Town Accountant, their assistance and informati on in regard to town business, from which we have prepared this report.
