There were two contract actions against the Town, one of which was settled for a nominal amount as authorized by the Selectmen, the other abandoned by the claimant.
A suit pending in Court against Medford was disposed of by a verdict in favor of Arlington. A suit pending in Court against Lowell was disposed of by payment to Arl- ington. A suit pending in Court against the Town of Salis- bury was disposed of by payment to Arlington.
There have been fourteen claims against third persons for damage to Town property, automobiles, trucks, precinct boxes, etc. Nine were collected in full, three were settled, and two are in process, all payments being made to the Town Collector.
