At last, we can report that a white oak tree has been found that is large enough to make a shaft for the mill. Several people have been very helpful in trying to locate this shaft. We all realize what a blot on the landscape the old mill has been.
It probably could have been fixed with some kind of a stick. Very few people realize the workings of the mill and that very few kinds of woods can be used in this con- struction. White oak is the best, we have been told by peo- ple who know wood. In the summer when the mill is work- ing there is a great strain on this shaft, also on the person in charge when a large group of visitors are around the mill.

There had to be two special town meetings called this year, the first for several years. Purchase of the fire ap- paratus and unforeseen expenditure called these. It was gratifying to see the turnout of voters at these meetings compared to the interest that voters in other towns took where special meeting were called.
Under an article in the Warrant you will find a re- quest by the Selectmen to take some kind of action on some outstanding notes issued by the trustees of the Timothy Smith Loan Fund. Some of these are twenty-five years old. You will notice by the report that over seven thousand dollars are involved.
The officers are always ready to receive constructive as well as "destructive" criticism and we are glad to have you call on us any time. Do not wait until you have a chip on your shoulder.
Please bring your Town Report to Town Meeting.

Report on Sales of Tax Possession Lands
There have not been as many sales the past year as last year. There could have been many more. The reason is that under a new law the Town can put the lots through land court for a small fee. This fall we did not encourage buying because after the Town has taken this step the Town can increase the price asked for the land. This year we hope to take that step.
The surveying we had to have done is all charged against the sale of land this year.
There are several lots that are staked out that are now for sale. The profit may not look as large as it really is. There are houses being erected on some lots already.
As the Town survey is the "goose that is laying the golden eggs" (not egg), there is need of a clerk to help gather these and larger profits as already stated in the Selectmen's report.
