At the present time we have three families on relief in other towns, one in Milo, one in Parkman and one in Belfast; we also have one single person in Portland, on relief at a very small expense. CANNING CENTER The canning center this year was located in the Hughes building on Mechanic Street under the super­ vision of Mrs. Marjorie Gray, Supervisor, and Herman Larrabee, Assistant. The arrangements in this place were very much better than the year before and the output of the center was more than double that of 1934. The total number of cans for the season was approximately 33,000. For the expense of fitting up and moving the center, the town received about 1,500 cans and the town has been allotted about 1000 cans from the surplus. If the center is conducted another season, there will be a very small expense for the town for operating as the room was left ready for use another season. H. R. WILLIAMS, ERA Administrator.

Total 2,261.60 24 ANNUAL REPORT Report of Public Health Nurse

FEBRUARY 1, 1935—FEBRUARY 1, 1936 To Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Since headquarters are within the town, telephone, office and street visits have been innumerable, it has not been possible to keep a full account of each and every service rendered and a record of only the im­ portant or permanent cases has been attempted. To make a brief and concise report of such ac­ tivities as have taken place within the past year is al­ most an impossibility. While the prime objective of our service is HEALTH EDUCATION and PREVENTION OF DIS­ EASE working toward maximum body, mind and moral efficiency i.e. HEALTH ASSURANCE through cor­ relation of instruction in health habit formation and disease prevention, and activities of all sorts involving problems of medical and social nature, it has been necessary to supplement our prime object with adapt­ able and practical solutions such as emergency relief by demonstration in bedside care, securing hospitaliza­ tion and material aid. The efforts have not been con­ fined to any one group or age. Since the basis of a disease prevention program seems to lie with children of school age and because at this age they are more amenable to teaching, it is pos­ sible that more emphasis has been put on the child al­ though work among adults and parents in the teaching of hygiene, care of the sick and the necessity of cor­ rections has been a good part of the program. The demands for medical-social welfare have in­ creased but resources for obtaining aid in these cases seem to be on the decrease. However, the response to specific requests has been generously met in town by the Percolator Club, the Welfare Committee of the Town Club, Eastern Maine General Hospital and state institutions, dentists, doctors and oculists. TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 25

Statistics are dry and uninteresting and in no wise do they measure time, effort or result but the fol­ lowing figures will show some of the work covered in the last year: Patients receiving service in the home...... I l l Infants ...... 8 Preschools ...... 18 Schools ...... 26 Prenatal ...... 6 Deliveries ...... 2 Postpartums ...... 2 Tuberculosis ...... 6 General adults...... -...... 35 Social welfare ...... 8 Note:Many of these patients have received more than one visit. Hospitalization secured for 10 patients Bedside (emergency) care, 14 patients Operations with anaesthesia at nurse’s home, 3 patients Operations with anaesthesia at patient’s home 2 Patients accompanied to hospitals, 10 Talks to clubs and other service as requested. SCHOOL NURSING Although the county nurse is not designated as a “ school nurse” as her specific duty, class-room inspec­ tions have been given as requested, home visits to school children made, school children received at the of­ fice for treatment, etc. Since it had been some time since school children had received a complete physical examination, it seemed1 wise that 1935 should be a year for this purpose. Therefore early in the spring this was done and at the end of the school year the follow­ ing statistics were available: Schools visited were North Street, Pleasant Street, Brockway, Macomber’s Corner, Bear Hill, South Dover and East Dover. Total number of pupils examined...... 598 Number of pupils without defects 155 Defects as follows: Vision or eye strain...... i..... 74 Hearing ------J...... 23 I 26 ANNUAL REPORT

Teeth ...... 269 Enlarged tonsils ...... 97 Enlarged glands ...... 36 10% or more underweight...... 21 Other defects including enlarged thy­ roids, skin disease, orthopedic de­ fects, etc...... 58 Corrections noted since last complete physical ex­ amination'. Glasses (new or refitted') ...... 58 Teeth (mostly fillings) ...... 107 Throat ...... ;...... :...... 62 The Audiometer Test was given to 200 Academy students. At the first examination 58 failed this test and were given a second trial. At the final analysis only three could be called hard of hearing. During the 1934-1935 school year, milch school time was lost on account of various types of contagious disease. Therefore one might here stress the need of cooperation of parents in isolating children in the family who are suffering with such a disease and pro­ tect others by keeping them indoors when excluded from school on account of communicable disease of any sort. Many follow-up visits have been made to homes in behalf of correction of defects found at school ex­ amination. As soon as school opened in the fall all schools were visited and class-room inspection made for evidence of skin disease which might be communicable to others. While we still find a few cases, the number is much less than a few years ago. At this time all medicine closets and first aid kits were inspected and replenished as necessary. All pupils at North Street school have been recently weighed. The large number of dental defects among school children proves the need of some sort of dental’ clinic work. INFANT & PRESCHOOL CLINICS Two of these clinics were held with Miss Ricker at the Chapel the use of which was kindly given by the Community Church. Due to lack of funds it was neces­ sary to curtail the number of clinics. However, the at- TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 27 tendance was very good there being 49 in all, 11 infants and 28 preschools. Sixteen of these children presented no evidence of defects. Dr. E. D. Merrill kindly con­ sented to act as clinician. The parent was interviewed if necessary and instruction given in regard to care. Literature suitable to age of child was distributed. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION— 1936 1. Closer co-operation of parents in protecting the public by keeping children who are suffering from communicable disease away from those who have not been exposed. 2. Immunization— Shick test and Toxoid for diph­ theria; Vaccination against small-pox. 3. Reporting of all communicable diseases to health officer. 4. Tonsil and Adenoid Clinic privileges. 5. Dental Clinic privileges 6. Tuberculosis Clinic. In closing we wish to express our appreciation and thanks for the loyal suport of the townspeople, tax­ payers, Christmas Seal purchasers, The Piscataquis Observer, Bond purchasers, Memberships, organiza­ tions, clubs, churches, doctors, dentists, oculists, town officers, school board, superintendent of schools, teachers, and in fact all who have contributed in time, money and interest this past year toward our en­ deavors to make Dover-Foxcroft a healthier place to live in. Respectfully submitted, Piscataquis County Nursing Service by LOUISE B. NICHOLS, R. N. Public Health Nurse.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I herewith submit my fourth annual report of your schools for 1935-36. TEACHERS ~ The following is the list of teachers employed in the Dover-Foxcroft Elementary Schools for the year 1935-36. Also their position, number of pupils regis­ tered, years of experience and annual salary.

low. During the summer vacation the physical con­ dition of the boys and girls improved wonderfully. At the opening of school in September, they were ready for work. At first considerable review work was neces^- sary, and the report from teachers was that they were making slow progress. But the latter part of the fall term, there was a very noticeable improvement, which has continued up to the present. Attendance, for the most part, has been excellent. We have a few fam­ ilies, who, apparently, feel that there is no obligation on their part, to see to it, that their children attend school regularly, and allowed to continue, it is not long before the child entertains the same attitude. In some cases road conditions have made it impossible for children to attend regularly. Two transfers and one new teacher were the only changes in our teaching staff for the year 1935-36. Miss Louise Campbell, teacher at Bear Hill, was trans­ ferred to South Dover, and Miss E. Evelyn Bowley of Milo, with 8 years experience, a graduate of Gorham Normal School, with summer work at the University of Maine Summer School, was elected teacher at Bear Hill. Miss Bowley came to us with the best of recom­ mendations and her work in the school maintains them. Last spring Mrs. Aldine Farrar resigned her posi­ tion in the Sub-Primary School at East Dover, which she had so efficiently filled for the past several years. Miss Velma Burgess was elected to fill the vacancy for the year 1935-36, the Macomber school where she had previously taught, being closed. Teachers attending summer school in 1935 were: Miss Dorothy Greenlaw, Bates College; Miss Marion Doore, Farmington Normal School; Miss E. Evelyn Bowley, University of Maine. The State Teachers’ Convention at Bangor and the County Convention in Greenville were well attended by teachers throughout the school system. Last fall two courses in Education were offered to the teachers of the union. With two exceptions, all took advantage of this opportunity1. The courses, “ Modem Methods in Teaching” , dnd “Tests and Measurements and their Interpretations” , were given i 64 - ANNUAL REPORT ...... r • , Y‘ ...... * ' in the Grammar School building for 15 weeks at about one third the expense of attending summer school. Each course entitled teachers to two hours credit toward college work- The Instructors were Prof. Ernest Jackman and Dr. J. C. Crawford, of the Facul­ ty of the University of Maine, College of Education. In conjunction with the course in Measurements a complete testing program was carried out in the schools. The objective in putting on the Testing pro­ gram was for the following information: 1. To find out how the accomplishment of pupils, by grades, com­ pared in our schools, with those of other school systems throughout the United States, where a similar program had been carried out. 2. To ascertain, in which sub­ jects there was need of improvement in our method of instruction and use of materials. 3. To develop a systematic type of remedial work, giving attention to individual instruction. 4. To ascertain weaknesses in the system of teaching and the program arrangement, in order that we may reduce the need for remedial teaching. Our teachers did a fine piece of work, and our boys and girls, in practically every grade, ranked above that of the country average. Teachers were highly com­ plimented by both instructors. They expressed, that it had been one of the finest groups they had worked with. BOOKS AND SUPPLIES The introduction of the following books has been made: New Geographies “Neighborhood Stories” by Atwood & Thomas for grade 3; “History of Maine” by Glen W. Starkey for grade 8; Dictionaries for grades 6 and 8A Grammar building; four sets of supplemen­ tary readers for grades Sub, 1, 2, 3; four sets of Li­ brary books, together with many separate copies. Re­ placement costs of books has been large this year and will continue to be for the year 1936-37. . It will be necessary to make re-placements or new introductions of arithmetics, geographies, and histories in many of the grades next year. We are asking for $200 addi- , tional in this account. This is about $1.40 per pupil, which is below the state average. TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 65

Mrs. Dorothy Howse is at present working in the office on a W.P.A. project, cataloging books and will continue until about May 1st. It is believed that by that time a complete record of books will have been taken, and from then on the distribution of all books will be handled by a card system, so that the office will know the number and condition of all books, in all school rooms. All necessary supplies have been furnished. It is the desire of your Superintendent and School Com­ mittee Members, to furnish your schools with a liber­ al amount of supplies. We believe that the greatest efficiency of your teaching force can be realized only when they have had ample supplies to work with. This we feel has been done. In all instances, we feel that the teachers have shown results, which warrant the expenditures. REPAIRS Mr. Pearl, as in past years, has had general super­ vision of repairs. Only one C.W.A. Project has been carried on this year, that being the dismantling of the Foxcroft Center school building. The Committee found that more could be realized from sale of ma­ terials, than from the building. $151.35 has been re­ ceived for lumber, clapboards, windows, and brick, be­ sides approximately $75 worth of materials used to re­ pair school buildings in town and at East Dover. There are un-sold windows and weights and several hundred brick. Major repairs for the year are as follows: NORTH STREET: Repaired two roofs and built a new piazza; equipped five rooms with double roller shades. GRAMMAR: Put new coating of asphalt on roof and lengthened the chimney. EAST DOVER: Bought stbam heating plant of Sangerville Masonic Order and installed in building at a cost of $352.55. PLEASANT STREET: Double roller shades were bought for four rooms. . / I 66 ANNUAL REPORT

The total cost of shades for North Street and Pleasant Street buildings was $186.86. New steam valves have been installed in many of the radiators at a cost of $72.00. The buildings are in excellent con­ dition. Your School Committee have a program for the future, whereby they may be kept so, at a reasonable expense. THE ACADEMY The longer period at the Academy is giving a much broader program for students. A vast amount of individual work is being done. The instruction is of a practical type, such as is being carried on in the more advanced schools of our country. Prin. Stone and his faculty, are making a real study of the students and their school problems. It would be an interesting day for any citizen of our town to visit the Main room of the Academy, which has been turned into a Library laboratory. You will find many carefully supervised groups, working on many different problems. The several departments are fast developing home-room libraries, which make a great deal of material outside of their textbooks, available to the students in their courses. SPECIAL TEACHERS Reports of your District Nurse, Mrs. Louise Nichols, and School Physician, Dr. C.'N. Stanhope, will be found in your report. During the epidemic of dis­ eases, last spring and the Infantile Paralysis scare last fall, they spent a great deal of time in our schools. It is difficult to state in dollars and cents the value of a School Physician and School Nurse. Many corrections are made through their examinations, which might not be called to the attention of parents until serious com­ plications had developed. Miss Gertrude Gately, Music teacher in our school system, is doing a very commendable piece of work with our boys and girls. A Grammar school Orchestra and Violin class have been started this year. It does seem now, with the Boys’ Band, organized by Mr. Crockett, and the additional interest in instrumental music in our schools, that a very\ capable Grammar School Orchestra is in the making. I urge parents to TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 67

give a little more thought to education of their children in music, having them learn to play some instrument. THE COMING YEAR The School Department, through the splendid co­ operation of all interested in the schools, has been able to complete the present municipal year, with substan­ tial balances, in all departments. It was stated by the School Committee, to last year’s Budget Committee, that if conditions warranted it, they would return to the teachers, at the opening of schools in September, 5% of the salary reduction since 1931. It was possible to do this. The maximum weekly wages are: Prin­ cipals $23.89; other teachers in town $23.10; Rural $21. Again, as in years past, your School Committee has made a complete financial report to your Budget Committee, showing to that committee, that lower re­ ductions in school appropriations would not, in the minds of the committee, be advisable, for the best in­ terests of education in Dover-Foxcroft. The School Committee and Superintendent are always ready to discuss school matters and do not want any citizen to feel that they haven’t any part or interest in our schools. Whether you have children or not you are in­ terested in Dover-Foxcroft, and its future depends upon the quality of schools maintained. To my Teachers, to members of my School Board and the Selectmen, to the Parents and their boys and girls, and to the Citizens of Dover-Foxcroft, I thank you for your splendid cooperation in the past. I solicit it in the future. Respectfully submitted, PERRY F. SH-IBLES, Superintendent of Schools.

To Superintendent Perry F. Shibles: Herewith is submitted the report of the School Physician for the current year. At the time of opening school last Fall there were cases of infantile Paralysis in nearby towns. / Since this disease is ushered in with minor symptoms it was 6 8 ANNUAL REPORT deemed best to be over rather than under cautious. For that reason all children showing any evidence of “ colds” or digestive upset were excluded from school for observation. Within this district no cases develop­ ed. The State Dept, of Health was called in a few in­ stances and concurred fully in this manner of handling the situation. As might be expected your physician was besieged with phone and office calls without num­ ber but the results compensated for the great in­ crease of extra work. Routine examinations show that teeth still give us the greatest number of defects. It is gratifying to see the number of corrections that have been made and to note the expected improvement in scholastic standing. Gain in weight and vigor has followed removal of de­ fective teeth and tonsils. Much still remains to be done in this work. A s usual, Mrs. Nichols has given freely of her time and effort in observation of suspects and1 in examina­ tions. The large number of corrective measures would not have been carried out without her assistance. I hope sincerely you may continue to have her in your schools. The number of school hours lost this year from sick­ ness- b??s b°en very s^all. There has been no epidemic of any serious disease. Scabies (the itch) still appears from time to time and will continue to do so until proper attention in treatment and care is given. It can be completely wiped out. Eternal vigilance is the price to be paid for a freedom from communicable diseases. Prevention of sickness is a busy iob for teachers and parents but, as compared to caring for a sick child, it is nothing. Teachers and parents alike have been most helpful in the task and I am sure you may expect this watchfulness to continue. Utopia has not been reached however. In due course of time there will be more measles, mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox, scarlet fever etc., just how many cases being directly ,proportional to carelessness in letting down the bars of regulations. Respectfully yours, C. N. STANHOPE, M. D. TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 69

To Perry F. Shibles, Superintendent of Schools: I herewith submit my second annual report as * Music Supervisor in the public schools of Dover-Fox- croft for the year 1935-36. Last spring the Grammar School Glee Club pre­ sented an operetta “Yanki San” as part of the school exhibition given in May. This year the Glee Club in conjunction with the Grammar School orchestra plans to present a concert during exhibition week. Two new extra-curricular activities have been started this year. The Grammar School orchestra and a violin class composed of pupils from the third through the eighth grade. The Boys’ Band which was- organized by interested citizens of the town with the personal help of George Crockett has- helped fill out. certain sections of the school orchestra tremendously.. The Brass wind and Wood wind sections are much, stronger than the string sections. The violin class will', help to strengthen the string section. The Music department of Foxcroft Academy is- planning a Musical to be presented early in March. The Girls’ Glee Club gave a program of Christmas’ music at the December meeting of the Parent-Teach­ er Association. The Academy orchestra has played several times for Town functions, the school plays and Commencement. We have tried in our regular school work this year to combine somewhat Music and Art. The child has expressed the mood or story of a certain piece of music in drawing. The idea has been carried out a little further by the seventh grade in the booklets they are making outside of school. They select a piece of music which appeals to them and find a picture and a poem which expresses to them the same story. May I express my appreciation for the co-opera­ tion of the Superintendent, Principals, Teachers and Parents. Respectfully submitted, GERTRUDE I. GATELY, Supervisor of Music. / 70 ANNUAL REPORT

During the past year there have been no changes in the faculty. Your faculty, as has been previously noted, is well qualified by training and experience. It has carried on the work of the school in an efficient and conscientious manner. THE BUILDING During the past year, the building has been painted on the exterior; exits at the rear of the building, which make it more serviceable to the school as well as pro­ viding an element of safety which has been much need­ ed have been built. The school office has been re­ modeled in the interests of better service; and library shelves installed in Room 8 to make adequate provision for the Social Studies library and in Room 2 for the Science library. The Laboratory in Room 2 has been equipped with gas thus filling a need which has long existed. The grounds about the building have been further improved by grading and the completion of a road around the building. I feel that much has been done under the supervision of the Building Committee in spite of limited funds to make the building more serviceable to the school.

20 29 . 85 43 14 57 The student body is made up of 232 residents of Dover-Foxcroft and 20 students from Sebec and Atkin­ son. This shows a slight increase over the enrollment for last year. Our student body on the whole, is doing a good grade of work and co-operates well with the faculty. Young people of high school age are faced with many perplexing problems. Foxcroft Academy is the community agency in Dover-Foxcroft to aid these young people to a better solution of these problems. SCHOOL PROGRAM In brief, our school program is built around three curricula: College Preparatory, Commercial, and Eng­ lish or General. The College Curriculum fits students of average mental ability or better, possessing good character and habits of work, for admission to most colleges. Its content is determined by college admission require­ ments. The Commercial Curriculum gives the foundation for work of a general commercial nature including the work in handling accounts and secretarial work. This curriculum serves the needs of those who expect to do office work. While the work required in the above curricula is quite highly specialized in the'last two years, the Eng­ lish Curriculum offers opportunities for those students; and these constitute a majority; ydio do not wish the specialization required for entrance to an academic college or for secretarial and office work. Recent changes in our school program have been sought to en­ rich and make as practical as possible the offerings for these students. This year changes have been author­ ized by the Joint Committee for a second year of TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 75-

Mathematics and a course in Current History. Both of these courses are proving their value in offering add­ ed opportunities to students. As a part of the work in Mathematics, an introduction to work in mechanical drawing is being given. This work is proving both valuable and interesting to many students. The course in Current History is particularly valu­ able in these times when people are confused as to the ideals and purposes as well as the successes of democ­ racy as a form of government. It is fair to assume that the American schools should teach the principles of Americanism. Most observers agree that America, suffers more from the weakness of, ideals^ within rather than attacks of forces from without. On the whqle, students are responding very well to this type of study and are beginning to recognize the problems facing the American nation today. The Faculty and The Joint Committee seek to be alert to the problems of the school and to change and adapt the work of the school as well as the conditions imposed upon them permit. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the many friends of the school and especially to the Building Committee, Joint Committee, and Superin­ tendent of Schools, who have helped in the successful operation of Foxcroft Academy during the year just passed. Such co-operation makes it a pleasure to work in this community. Respectfully submitted, FRANK G. STONE, Principal.

/ 76 ANNUAL REPORT

REPORT OF MAYO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL TRUSTEES The Trustees of the Mayo Memorial Hospital present herewith a brief report of the equipping, opening and progress of the Hospital since the property came into the possession of the town. At the special town meeting in September, when the property was accepted by the town, Mr. C. A. Runnals and Mrs. Sara M. Glidden were elected as Trustees on the part of the town and H. R. Williams was appointed to represent the Board of Selectmen. The most important question that confronted the Trustees was the selection of a Superintendent for the Hospital. By patient waiting we have every reason to Believe we were very fortunate in securing for this important position, Miss Dorothea M. Rice, R. N. Miss Rice is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Seldon D. Rice of Guilford, well known residents of this •county, and was graduated from the Massachusetts Memorial hospital Oct. 11, 1919. For a year following she did private duty in and around Boston, then for a year was head nurse on the obstetrical floor of the Lynn hospital, following which she was superintendent of the Obstetrical department of the Brockton hospital for 17 months, and Assistant Superintendent of nurses in the same hospital for two years. After having taken a post graduate course in the Boston Lying-in hospital Miss Rice returned to the Massachusetts Memorial hospital where for seven months She acted as head nurse on the obstetrical floor, and then as Assistant Superintendent of nurses. After 10 months of service there illness necessitated lighter work, with the result that Miss Rice resigned from that position and spent two years as Assistant Superintend­ ent of the Florence Crittenden home and hospital in Brighton. In December, 1930, she assumed the position of Ob­ stetrical supervisor at the Maine General hospital, Portland and in 1935 took a six weeks course at Sim­ mons College, Boston. The next in importance was the selection and pur­ TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 77 chase of the equipment for the Hospital and Miss Rice cooperated with the Trustees in a most helpful way in the selection of such an outfit as would give us a well equipped hospital at an expense not very much exceed­ ing the means available. We have not furnished the waiting room and sun parlor. The nurses’ rooms have only the bare necessities. We have not purchased the rubber hall runners necessary to protect the floors and make them safe. Nor have we any typewriter and safe, the latter being a very necessary part of the equipment of a hospital. It is not necessary in this report to go into details of the equipment as at the opening on January 25, 1936, about five hundred people visited the hospital during the afternoon and evening and know better than we can tell here that the institution is one of which our town can be justly proud. The donations on this afternoon and evening, too numerous and extensive to detail in this report, were simply wonderful and showed the splendid interest that the townspeople have in the hospital. There were many donations also from people outside the town and for all those and other gifts received since the opening, the Superintendent and Trustees wish to ex­ press their sincere appreciation. Again the Trustees feel that they were exceptionally fortunate in securing for a cook for the hospital, Mrs. Ethel Sawyer. Mrs. Sawyer is too well known in this and other towns to need any words of commendation in this report. Her work thus far has proven con­ clusively the wisdom of our choice. We are pleased to report that all connected with the hospital since it was opened, have cooperated in every way possible to make it successful. The work done by the various women’s organiza­ tions and clubs of the town has been of great assist­ ance and value to the Hospital in equipping and pre­ paring materials for use after the opening for business. One or' two groups are still going each week to carry on this work. It is too soon as yet to determine very definitely the income from the Hospital as compared with the ex­ 78 ANNUAL REPORT pense but very careful accounts for the month of February show something more than a hundred dollars more earnings than expense. At the present time there are patients to nearly the full capacity and there is every indication that the Superintendent, nurses and all concerned are work­ ing for the best interests of these patients and the success of the Hospital.

In making comparisons between last year and this it should be noted that money was appropriated for items not appearing in, the above in an aggregate amount of §6,300.00, making the total for last year $97,062.00. The valuation last year, as used in making the assessment, was $2,793,079. Deducting from that amount $70,000.00 estimated to have been lost through fires and from other causes, and not making any allowance for a possible increase from any source (which, of course, may happen) gives us a valuation of $2,723,079 for the present year. A tax assessed upon that valuation at a rate o f .044 should produce in revenue $119,815.48. • Adding to this the income from 1100 polls at $8.00, or 8,300.00, makes a total off $123,115.48. Estimated expenses, based on the above recommendations: Budget recommendations, 93,477.88 State tax 21,007.59 County tax (estimated) • 3,481.03

117,966.50 Overlay 5,148.98

123,115.48 We would call attention to the fact that any increase in ap­ propriations over the amount which we have recommended, if in an amount which will not be covered by the overlay, will necessarily mean an increase in the rate over .044. We do not feel that it is for us to say at what rate the tax should be kept, but we do feel that it is proper for ua to recom­ mend that every possible effort be made by all municipal officers charged 8 8 ANNUAL REPORT with the expenditure of money to keep within appropriations. We regard it as more important to keep our expenditures within our available resources than to try to keep our tax rate at any arbitrary figure. It is no advantage to the tax payers to keep the tax rate down unless the expenditures can be kept within the limits of the money produced by that rate. Respectfully submitted, WM. A. BURGESS E. W.
