R. to Hald Open Meeting With Grant Wickwire as Speaker of the FEvening—Methodist Church Plans 0Old Folks Concert. Alling road, Kensington, Ppointed out by both local and out of town motorists as being a stretch| which deserves instant attention by tha board of selectmen in repalring activities. The road iz not posted as belnz impossible to get through and vet few cars have been fortunate enough to pass over it without the eventual miring in the deep mud. On Satur- day afternoon within the space of an hour two cars became stuck, being | pulled out with the aid of a horse and yesterday's flux of motor traffic | ‘was hampered considerably by cars bacoming mired in the road. While it it understood that all roads in the town are suffering from the regular spring rains and thaws, it is generally believed that the offi- cials of the town should warn auto- mobllists by means of posted signs} as to the condition of the road and place “Pass at your own Risk" signs at the junction of the thoroughfare. | Other roads of the town which will be cared for by the town are in dire need of quick action. Blue Hills roads are termed by residents | there as being a welter of mud, with | traffic. | threaten become deep ruts which Several cars have stuck within the last few days and rural| mail trucks are encountering diffi- cuity in reaching ti out of the way plac State roads in the vicinity are in | fairly good condition as the result of temporary repairs made hy the highway commission. * It is the | roads that the motorists are appeal- ing for ald.

Indications point to a similar tax rate for 1927 as was in effect for 1926 with a possible slight increase. | Included in the increase will be the | town nurse appropriation which will have t6 be met this year as well as Becklay crossing work which hasz cost the town considerable money for its share of the appropriation granted to the state highway com- mission for the work. Announéamant of the hearing for the setting of the new rate will be made in the near future, according to Town Clerk Arthur L. Woodruff. At last year's town meeting the mo- tion Was passed to set the tax rate at blank mills to be apportioned by the finance board. ‘While thers has been considerable delay on the part of the board of re- 14st, it 1s thought that the work of the board will be finished by tomor- row avening, the date set as the final day for the submission of the fig- ures. Berlin is the last town of its size to set the tax rate for the com- ing year, other towns having made the announcement some time ago.
