REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS
During the year the Trustees have followed substantially the same policy which has been followed for several years. Several bonds were called at a slight premium. The premiums were credited to the reserve fund and the proceeds either invested in Unitd States Treasury bonds or deposited in savings banks. The practice of deducting a percentage of all interest for reserve fund purposes was continued as was also the prac- tice of depositing cemetery perpetual care funds in savings banks as they were received. Some additional funds were with- drawn and invested in United States Government Bonds, Series G, bearing 212% interest. The condition of the investment market continues to make investment of our town funds at any greater return than that of Government bonds an exceedingly difficult problem.
The details of the changes in principal investment and the receipts and expenditures of income and the present investment of the Trust Funds can all be found in the reports of the Treas- urer and Town Accountant.
