Selectman Johnson sighed contentedly as he signed the order for ex-Policeman Marino's sala and told his associates that he was glad that the police force is no more. As there is but $50 left of the appropria- tion, the selectmen having disbursed the halance since the beginning of the fiscal vear, August 16th, the officials admit that they will have to spend more than the vote of the recent town meeting calls for. If necessary they will have an officer on duty Saturda nights and perhaps Sunday afternoons. From the date the appropriation was made until the end of the year, they expect to keep the police expenses be- low $200, thereby carrying out the wishes of the voters. The matter of renewing the con- tract for street lights with the United Electric Light and Water company was discussed by the board. The present contract is to expire on Jan- uary 1st and the selectmen were in- structed to get terms from the com- pany for its renewal, reporting at a special town meeting to be held not later than December 15. The board talked over the question last night and voted to arrange for a confer- ence with representatives of the com- pany. A letter to Manross post, G. A. R, expressing the appreciation of the town for the gift of the cannon on the monument plot at the center, was pre- pared at the meeting. Regarding the improving of high- ways in Westwood park and the clean- ing of streets around town before winter sets in, the selectmen took no definite action.

Britain Herald:— In regard to the fact that the re- port of the acting school visitor for the current year, did not appear in the annual town report, I wish m jus- tice to myself, to say that pursuant to a custom practiced for the last twenty-eight years, I sent early in September to the selectmen, the re- port in question,’ and naturally I was surprised that the same was not printed. 1 presume this failure to print the report was due to some oversight or misunderstanding on the part of the selectmen, and as they still have the report in their keeping, I shall be pleased after they return it to me, to submit the, same for publication, should such course seem desiruble.
