Assistant County Agent Whit man tested milk samples fof the farm-s ers and was Kept busy all day at this work. ° One amusing ineident took place at Mr. Whitman’s desk when after having made a test of cream for a farmer living in Rhode Island, a man approached and asked to see the result of the test. As this work was not being done for public Informa- tion, Mr. Whitman tried to put the man off but found that he was the milk inspector from the district in which the farmer lived and stated that Rhode Island law required heavy cream to test at least 40 per cent. Mr. Whit- man satisfied him that the farmer was producing a lawful grade of cream as the test showed over 41 per cent. Generous Contributions. The financial campaign is proving successful, the Farm Bureau meeting with very general support and many expressions of good will. In recog- nition of the supervision which the Farm Bureau furnished the Home Gar- den movement in New London, the d rectors of the New London Chamber of Commerce very generously contributed $50 and. other. organizations whick have contributed as are foliows: Nor- wich grange $10, North Stonington of the 8 from Mrs. Charles Moss of Old Lyme. has $150 to raise of amount.

A much larger reduction was ‘hoped for by the boayd and could have been made if it were not for cer- tain taxes ovér which the board has no control and which the town must pay. The report on the activities of the year and the list of estimated ex- penses and receipts follows: The following is-a brief rcport of the business of the town of Norwich for the fiscal year just ending, togeth- er with a statement of the receipts and expenses of the town-and certain recommendations as to.taxes, etc., to be acted upon at the coming annual town meeting. A considerable amount of work has been done upon the highways and it is believed that they are now in as good condition.as they have been at any previous period. “In addition to the routine work of repair, perma- nent repairs have been executed on the Salem turnpike, the mapadam on the road from the city line to Backus Corner has been partly renewed and placed in good condition. The bridges of the town have been kept in repair and a new bridge agthe foot of Sher- man street has been built and opened for travel, the expense being paid out of the regular appropriation for the bridges of the town. At the Almshouse. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman have contin- ued in charge of the almshouse and bave performed their duties in the same efficient and careful manner as in the past. The inmates have en- joyed good health in the majority of cases and, it Is believed, are as well satisfied with the condition as can be fairly expected. Their work on the farm and in cutting and splitting the wood which is distributed as fuel to the. outside poor is much appreciated by your board. This delivery of stove wood from the almshouse has resulted in a very considerable decrease in the expenditure for coal and fuel for the poor of the tdwn. The coal from the almshouse was pugpchased some time since for the coming season, ar a ma- terially lower figure than the prSCe at present. Chelsea Parade Walks Reb: 3 Two of the walks through Clielsea Parade have been rebuilt and. in your board’s opinion, a very decided im- provement has been made at the Bean Fiill Green by regrading and the dis- continuance of the highways and the paths which have formerly This work 1s still underwa prebablv be completed by October 1st. and will. it is believed. be the means of transforming this hitherto neglect- ed spot into a small but attractive park which will add to the heauty of our town. Outside Poor Department. Considering - the high. costs of all necessities of life which has existed during the past year, we are glad fo be able to state that the expepses for the outside poor department Have not increased, but are less than !for the previous vears, while those for the insane and neglected -children’s de- partments have been kept within ths appropriations, avhile in_all cases of genuine need relief has been prompt- Iy and willingly given. Town Debt Decreased. We“Gesireato call to the taxpavers’ attention the fact that the town debt| has been decreased durine the past Year in the amount of $27,161.83. this being, we are.informed, the largest actual reduction of any wear for the past twenty years or more and. of course, decreasing* the intwrest charges against the town. In addition to this the town has on hand. at pres- ent, a balance of $28,122.61 as com- pared with a balance last year of $10.661.04 and two vears aco of $3,- 234.89. Moreover, every biil against the town has been paid up to Septem- ber 15th of this vear, while long standing and disputed clalms of con- siderable amount hetween our town and" the towns of Hartford and New London, some items of which were twelve or mcre vears old. have been satisfactorily adjusted. so that this balance represents money in hand for use of the town for the coming-year. Recommend 4 3-4 Mill Tax. Owing principally to the above facts and to the fact that a large amount of back taxes s been collected vour hoard is ah]e’é}r\‘ls year to recommend a tax of 4 3-4 ills, as against 5 mills last year. A much larger reduction was hoped for and could have been made if it were not for certain taxes over which your board has no contro! and which the town must pay the state tax of $36.000, and a special county tax, laid this vear, of about $18,000. These two payments alone amount to more than 3 mills on our tax list. School Committee Estimates. The estimates of the schooi com- mittee call for a tax of six and one- half mills this vear te pay the e penses of the schools. This is an in- crease on their part of 1-2 mill, which Increase is caused, mainly, if not en- tirely, by a proposed 10 per cent. in- crease of salaries. This with the amount asked for by the selectmen, will make a total tax rate for the coming vear, if approved by the town. of 11 1-4 mills on the dollar! Several petitions for other appropriations are also requested by voters of the town and these petitions, if' abproved by the town meeting, will make a higher rate of tax necessarv. The following estimate of the re- turn the three dollars, fourth prize money into the general expenses of the trip. Mr. Musser, extension dairvman at who had charge of the contest is quite elated with results and he writes as follows: “I never was more pleased with the results of my time in this worlk. They are a credit to ten times the training and T hope that all will enter again next year as prize winners are made through a series of comtests.” This is Stonington, second prize ribbon and|a good suggestion to look forward to. ourth " prize money, $4..
