Despite this,, and with a decrease in state allotment of tax funds that -nets the -Town about one- .third -of its former, receipts, the amburit to be spread in taxes Will bring about increases of from 47 cents to $1.50, a modest rise.

In the new equipment category the highway department was turned down on its request for a new tandem roller with trailer,; and on a-power saw (for remov al of dead trees). As reported above - the request for. $5000 for\ j development of the Millwood rec-' • reation area was cut to $2000, and 'was takentfrom the jurisdiction.
