It Is ‘also proposed to grant the request of the board‘of charities for a new fireproof addition at the town | farm to serve the purposes of a fe- male ward. The present female ward has been found to be a fire trap. Chairman Hall explained that the “pruning committee” went into the matter thoroughly and decided to recommend that of the $70,000 neces- sary for this work, $10,000 be paid out of direct taxation next year. The remaining $60,000 it is proposed to | pay of $10,000 each of six succes- sive years. The city's notes will be issued in those denominations.
