"Art 9 To see if the Town will Authorise the Selectmen to
procure a Safe for the safe keeping of municipal and other
Records of the Town". have attended to that duty and report.
That we have made enquiry in relation to the expense of
a Safe and we estimate the cost at 125 dollars for a Safe of
sufficient size to contain all the most valuable records of
the Town and considering as we do the great value of the
municipal Records of the Town and their liability to be
destroyed by fire we recommend to the Town to authorise
the Selectmen to procure a Safe for the safe keeping of
Municipal and other Records of the Town
