During the year 1928, this department received 4,250

The filing and recording of documents has increased to
such an extent that it is needless for me to state that some action
should. be taken to secure additional filing, equipment, so that
the records of the Town may be safe guarded and receive adequate
protection.
.kt this time S desire to call attention to the letters
received from the State Supervisor of Public Records relating to
the procuring of filing equipment to house the documents of the
Town.
I have secured tentative estimates of the costs of safe ,
cabinets and filing equipment, and I estimate that the cost for
same will be about z;V*19500.00.
I, therefore , recommend that proper action be taken for
the purpose of purchasing the necessary equipment.
