By vote of the Town,, the Assessors were required to print the valuation list in 1921 and each third year thereafter. The list was printed in 1921, but was omitted in 1924 because of no appropriation therefor. If the list is to be printed in 1927 funds must be provided.
In 1917 the appropriations for Town purposes to- taled $52,502.89. In 1926 the appropriation reached a total of $113,936.26, which does not include $12,500 appropriated for deficit in former taxes.

The additions to the Library Funds during the past year are due to transfers of securities and cash by the Trustees of the Library. The Trustees of the Library have retained certain other Library Trust Funds be- cause of the particular provisions creating the respec- tive trusts, under which they are required to do so.
The income of the trust funds is disbursed by the Town Treasurer, under general votes of the Commis-
121
sioners, upon the order of the officials having authority to expend the income of the Library, Poor Trust and Cemetery Trust Funds respectively.
