The securities of the Town were examined and found to be as stated in the report of the Town Treasurer. The books of the several officials agree, as to money received and expended, with the records in the Accountant's office.

The grounds have been cleared of bushes, dead trees, etc., a heavy wire fence has been placed around the plot, the School Department paying for one-half of the fence adjoining the school property. The Selectmen recommend that an amount of money be raised and appropriated for 1929.

Chalke & Sons and con- tinuing through the meadow back of the church property of Bradford Hawes and then continuing on Pleasant Street to Pine Street.
Total cost of construction and land damage of old location from Washington to Pine Street-$42,250.50
Total cost of construction and land damage for new layout- $46,838.50.
