marking of $40,000.00 of the Town Surplus, and requesting $400.00 for expenses, because we believe the time of actual construction is indefinite.


If the Town adopts the budget as approved by the Advisory Board calling for $122,601.83, this will indicate a tax rate of about $40.50.


The Board held eight meetings to consider all articles presented to it and had the fullest cooperation from all department heads.


We feel sure the Town's affairs are in good hands and are being well administered.
