This <br /> means an increase in expenditures and planning for the <br /> future. With various new types of buildings and develop- <br /> ments coming in to the Town we will have to plan for new <br /> j and more complex equipment. To help provide.; for future <br /> purchases of equipment, we are asking for an adequate in- <br /> crease to the Capital Outlay Account. <br /> The Fire Department, has from time to time when <br /> needed, supplied manpower to assist the Police Department <br />
