WORLD WAR MEMORIAL
Considering the condition of the World War Memorial in the spring of 1926 it was considered best to grade, loam and seed the plot.
As most of the triangle is included in the State and Town roads, the consent of the State Highway Department was first obtained.
In all about one hundred twenty ($120) dollars was ex- pended on the grounds and the future expense for mowing seeding etc., can be met from the income of the World War Memorial Fund.
Fred F. Dill,
Supervisor.
