Report of Sinking Fund Commissioners
Melrose ,Mass., Jan. 29, 1916
To the Honorable, the Board of Aldermen, Melrose, Mass.
Gentlemen :- We submit herewith our report of the operations of the Sinking Funds for the year 1915.
The Board of Aldermen failed to make any provision in 1915 for the proper maintenance for the School Sinking Fund. The amount asked, for this fund was $7,257. We now ask for an immediate appro- priation of $7,257 and that you instruct the City Treasurer to pay over this sum (7,257) into the School Fund so that it may be used in paying off the $200,000 Schoolhouse loan due on February 24, 1916.
Yours respectfully, EDWARD J. KITCHING, EVERETT L. FULLER, FRANKLIN P. SHUMWAY
