REMARKS.
AT a meeting of the Town, held August 26th, 1882, it was voted to authorize the Treasurer to borrow for the following accounts : Bridges $300, Railing Highways $200, Drinking Fountain $175, Sidewalks $150, and Street Lights $150, but as there was sufficient money in the treasury, it did not seem necessary to borrow money and pay interest on the same, con- sequently these accounts show debit balances, and the money will be raised by this year's taxation.
