to the discretion of the Fire Chief.

creation Councilas needs during the entire year .

coming twice as difficult.

man Bates, it was

appropriation recreation work in the town would have to stop and

to a fund to purchase materials , but since there are no further.
funds available in the 1940 budget for recreation work, he was com-
pelled to vote against the resolution.
