Report of Town Treasurer.


The year 1905 from a financial standpoint has been un- eventful.


The water debt and the floating town debt have each showed a natural decrease.


The amount of uncollected taxes remains about the same as last year.


Receipts on the interest account have been exceptionally large. occasioned by the completion of three years' tax levies.


There are now outstanding portions of 1903. 1904 and 1905 taxes, all taxes levied previous to 1903 being paid in full, principal and interest.
