Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Town Officers of Gilmanton: For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1956, and of the School District for the Year Ending June 30, 1956 It has been suggested that the Board of Selectmen prepare and submit a letter to serve as their report to be included in the annual Town Report. In doing that, we do not think it necessary to refer particularly to the routine actions of the office and the duties which must be discharged regularly. Rather, we think, the report should comprise a list of more or less important and significant things that took place in the Towns administration during the period covered to complete a record for future reference and use. At present some actions do not get recorded officially as they are completed. To make such records continuous and useful, we suggest that similar reports be made in the future on at least a two year basis. Actions Taken 1955 and 1956 1955 Austin-Western Grader purchased.
