With the raising of the pay of the men working on the road from $1.89 to $2.25 per day and teams from $4.00 to $5.00 a day and on some of the state work to $5.50 a day, it has been impossible to keep the roads in good repair and do the per- manent work required without this heavy overdraft. We also drew back from the state and selectmen over $800 more in . 1916 than in 1917. E. A. RANDALL, Road Commissioner.

The interest on all of the above bonds and notes is at the rate of 4%.
The auditors wish to call your attention to the appeal of the school commissioners for an increase of 15% for school purposes. Inasmuch as the town shows a deficit this year we recommend that the town vote an additional 20% the coming year, 15% for school purposes and 5% for the general fund.
