Miscellaneous expenses,
1,000 00
4,750 00
$17,505 00
Should you vote according to these recommendations at your April meeting, your rate of taxation for the present year need not exceed $11.00 and still reduce the debt about $1,000. We
10
ANNUAL REPORT
base our estimate on the ordinary expenses of the year. Should you sell the Town Farm, then your receipts would be increased sufficient to cancel the debt and place a credit to the town.
Then with the town out of debt and our rate of taxation not over $10. we would be on a good financial standing to take up the water question.
