A detailed statement of Town Hall expenses was received
from the Town Accountant. This statement was enclosed with
a letter to Mr. R. H. Holt, Chairman of the Finance Committee,
relating that owing to the inability of the Coal Company to
deliver nearly $800 worth of coal this amount goes over to
this year, which is the reason why we are going to show an
overdraft.
Letter was received from Percy R. Raymond, 23 Revere St.
inquiring in regard to work being done on Revere St. and the
statue of the case. Letter was written, stating that Revere
St. was laid out and accepted in 1916, and the Town is now
doing the work. Your bank has been cut into and the trees
removed, but a retaining wall is to be built and trees set
out at the proper places in front of your property, so that
we feel you will have no cause for complaint and will feel
that your property has been materially improved, when the
work is finished.
