Report of E. H. Edgerton, Town Agent
There are no suits outstanding in which the town is interest- ed and nothing in prospect that I know about, During last year the overseer received a communication from the overseer of the City of Barre in regard to a bill which the City had had to pay for the Edson family. At the request of the overseer I sent to the overseer of Barre City a copy of the proceedings had to relieve this town of the expense. No reply has been received.
