Before making out my budget for 1947, I asked the State Engi- neer covering this district to ride over the streets with me as a special favor and make any suggestions he saw fit. He complimented me on the kind of work being done and accomplished and advised me to continue along the same lines. He also assured me that some of our streets were in better condition than ever before and he has been in this district more than 15 years. He strongly contends that the money appropriated is much too small to meet the demands made upon it by the public. After much consideration and advice I drew up my ' 1947 budget knowing the increase would affect the tax rate. Bearing this fact in mind and the public's demand for good roads I concluded that they would be willing to pay for them.
78
I recommend the following. Total expense account $17,668.00. Salaries and Wages account $16,000.00. Chapter 90 maintenance $2000.00. Machinery account $3000.00. Snow account $4000.00.
At this time I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen for its honest whole hearted cooperation, advice and assistance, also the Police Department for their services rendered during snow storms and icy weather.

JAMES H. WHITE, Supt. of Streets.
