Johnson, Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, read and submitted their report upon the recommenda- tions of the several Boards, and the Articles of the Warrant which had been referred to them.
Mr. Moderator and Gentlemen :
Your Committee find that the financial condition of the Town is in a satisfactory condition. We have notes amounting to $14,945 due this year against $12,000 last year, and are pleased to note that with the exception of Removal of Snow, the depart- ments have kept very close within their appropriation. The over-draft in department of Removal of Snow a year ago was $162.39, while this year it is $1,038.74, accounted for by the severe storms during the winter. Your departments report to our Committee that they have no outstanding bills unpaid.

Article 18.
Your Committee have devoted considerable time to this Article, and while we are convinced a new school-house is a necessity, yet we are not satisfied that the present location, even with the additional land, is the proper site for a sixteen room school, and we would recommend that a Committee of four be appointed by the Moderator to act in connection with School Committee to inquire into different locations, the cost of same, also whether a two eight room one sixteen room school would be better, the cost of same and report to a Town Meeting to be called by them.
Article 19.
We have visited the Phillips School, and have heard all the arguments and suggestions offered, and are of the same opinion as the Ways and Means Committee of last year and recommend no action be taken at this time.
Article 20.
In our report on this Article, we wish it distinctly understood that we do not believe there is anything wrong in our finances, but as there is a great deal of criticism about Town accounts in the state, we believe it to be policy, not only for the good of the Town's standing and credit, but that we are not afraid to have an expert examine our books and tell us how we can improve in our bookkeeping, and therefore recommend the adoption of this Article and appropriate $300 for same.
Article 22. Pages 78 and 86 are answered in Articles 5 and 47.
Page 87. Your Committee find the library to be in a crowded condition as stated, and see no objection to a committee being appointed as requested, and therefore recommend its adoption, and said committee report at next Annual Meeting.
Page 93. This matter of duplicate invoices would naturally be looked into by an expert accountant, if the Town decide to engage one, and we therefore recommend it be referred to him.
