We have examined the accounts of the town officers and found them correct and we recommend raising on the Grand List of 1908 the following taxes :-
5c. state highway tax. 8c. state school tax.
3oc. highway tax. 5c. for permanent work on highway.
75c. for current expenses. 65c. for town school district.
$1.88 on the grand list of 1908.
The Town Treasurer has received from Almon E. Goodno, Admr. of James Parker estate, the sum of eight hundred and 12-100 dollars ($800 12).
This sum to be used for school purposes. We would recom- mend that the Town appoint a trustee and create a fund to be known as the James Parker School Fund. The income to be used for school purposes.
