*Including Surplus, Division of State Fund by School Committee, and two-sev- enths of all other moneys.


By the construction given by Horace Mann, as Secretary of the Board of Education, and his successors, to the statute in reference to the duty of the School Committee in keeping an account of their " votes, orders


10


and proceedings," it would seem to be incumbent on the Committee to keep their records in such a manner as to show the surplus left in each district at the close of the school year, and thus obviate the necessity of calling a town meeting to see what action should be taken when such sur- plus, in fact existing, does not appear upon the record.

THE Treasurer's accounts are correctly cast and properly vouched. The book's of the Selectinen and Treasurer correspond in the receipts and expenditures of the Town appropriations ; are properly balanced to the close of the financial year, and the surpluses carried forward.


The Selectmen are entitled to credit for transferring to their suc- cessors their records completed to the first of March.


Errors, caused by different methods of dividing the school money of 1869 by the Selectmen and School Committee, in the absence of any record of division by the Town, have been corrected.


It is suggested that the actual creditor's name should appear upon the orders issued by the Selectmen, and so upon the record.


,
