George Naughton brought in an estimated comparison sheet for the Selectmen to peruse showing other towns with tonnage, hauling charge estimates with annual total cost figures. George advised he would still go to Penacook. Question was asked of George Naughton if the town could come up with more volume would the rates be lowered to which George advised he thought that could be a little lower rate offered to him which he could pass on to the town.
