The following is the appropriation recommended by me to the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Board for 1944. It is my intention
60
to use some pea gravel to resurface some of the streets. Because of its cost only a limited amount can be used to stay within the budget. In time it will pay for itself as the maintenance cost is very low.
