The Board of Selectmen rec- ommended $1,200.00 for repairs but this item has been reduced by the Appropriation Committee to $800.00 as sufficient for general repairs. A recommendation of $2,- 100.00 was made for telephone against an expenditure in 1935 for $1,325.08, but this item has been reduced by the Appropriation Committee to $1,500.00. The increase in telephone expense is explained to the Appropriation Committee as being due to the use of the telephone by the WPA office. This increase in telephone expense seems excessive to the Appropriation Committee and it is recommended that a separate telephone be installed for the WPA office, and the telephone expense charged to the account for Labor, Materials, and Expenses, on Public - Works. The Committee is informed that the telephone expense of the WPA office is approximately $50.00 per month.
