Last year the selectmen asked for a 7 mill town tax and the school board asked for § 1-4 mills, but when the ad- journed annual town meeting in. March voted the town tax rate it was 17 1-4 mills. All bills of the town have been paid for the past year and the annual report prepared by the selectmen, Casper K. Bailey, Charles P. Bushnell and Patrick T. Connell, shows a cash balance on hand of $16,567.54. This balance, how- ever, is. only apparent, as there are sev- eral drafts to be made against it and Wwhen these are paid, there will be a deficit of $1,751.46. Imcluded in the sums to be drawn agdinst the cash balance are $7,600 for the pumper for the Yantic steam fire engine company, $900 for La- fayette street improvement and $3,225 for state highways, as well as the mcney received from licenses that will probably have to be repaid to the county com- ‘missioners. Had it not been for the sum of $8,334 extra for school teachers' salaries which the selectmen were called to pay over to the school board, the year would have closed with a balance on hand of $6,582- 54, The selectmen have prepared their re- port as follows: Your board of selectmen submit the following as a short account of the town's affairs for the past year together with an estimate of the receipts and expenses for the year to come and the amount of tax, which: will be necéssary to defray the town expenses. Considerable difficulty has been ex- perienced during the past year in ob- taining the necessary help and supplies to keep the town highways in proper re- pair but the board considers that in view of all the circumstances and the unavoidable increase in cost that the highways have been kept and are now in reasonably good condition. The road leading from Taftville to the cormer in Norwich Town near the buidilngs of the Sheltering Arms has been taken over by the state highway départment, Wwho will hereafter care for the same and as- sume three-quarters of the expense therefor. A large amount of work has been necessary on the bridges during the past vear. The bridges at Sturte- vant avenue and at Kighth street in Greeneville have been completed and all necessary repairs made to the others. During the coming year it will be neces- sary to replace one of the West Main street bridges. This work has been | contracted for and the steel necessary for the purpose is now on the road. It is hoped that this work can be finished at an early date and without much in- terruption to traffic. ~The great in- crease in transportation by heavy motor trucks over our highways and bridges necessarily causes an increasing ex- pense for their upkeep or renewal. A strong effort has been made to keep down the expenses of tha outside poor without neglecting any worse cases and in this your board considers that they have been successful. The prosperous business conditions during the greater part of the year have contributed to this result but. on the other hand, the provisions of the widows' pemsion act passed by the last general have camsed considerable additional ex- pense as a number of residents of the town are- now reeciving support under this act. nI this year's estimates a special papropriation was asked for to Estimated Almshouse ...

The necessary coal for the coming. win- ter has been bought and paid for. The motor driven apparatus of the Yantic Steam Fire FEngine Company, for which an appropriation was made at the last annual town meeting, ‘has beea purchased and its - delivery Is -expected at any time. “There has been little change in ‘the other expenses of the town for the maintenance of the insane, neglected and - dependent children, ete., but all cases needing care have ' been provided for. The item of election ex- pense, however, Wwill necessarily be in- creased in the future due to the pass- age of the federal amendmnt granting the suffrage to women which it is ex- pected will add very considerably to the number of our electors. At the present time the town has on hand aa unex- pended balance of $16,367.54. From this amount, however, must be deducted ap- propriations for the Yantic Fire Engine Company, the Lafayette street improve- ment, and state aided highways, which amounts are chargeable to the town, al- though it has not been necessary to pay over the money. The refund on the amount received for liquor licenses, which was included in last year's ex- pense, but has not yet been called for by the county commissioners, must also be deducted from this balance. When these various amounts are paid instead of a balance here will be a deficit of $1,751.46. This deficit, however your board considers “to be unavoidable as it is entirely due to the fact that the sum of $8,334, which the school board included in their estimated receipts at the last annual town meeting was never received from the state of Con- necticut, no apprcpriation having been made by the last legislature. This possibility was brought to the attention of the town meeting at the time the es- timates were approved and the failure to receive it made it necessary for your board to pay this sum to the school Breathe Hyomei For Two Minutes and Stuffed Up Head Will Go. 1f you want to safe relief from m’.em.mfitworm-w irritating cough in the shortest time, breathe Hyomei It will clean out your head in two minutes and allow you to breathe freely, awake or asleep, or méney re- funded. the countries, there but declines to give a detailed report of his findings until he has made fiil_ repon to his head- quarters.
