The treasurer has received from the State Treasurer, on account of aid paid to families in 1863, $17,417.58. Beside the State Aid paid to familes, your Board has been called upon to render aid to some who had for a long time received nothing from those on whom they were dependent, caused by delay of Government in paying men, men being prisoners of war, and the extreme high price of every thing necessary in a family, and by death of the soldier, that makes the one that was dependent on him for support, poor indeed ; these, with many other reasons, have caused them to need assistance, and they have appealed to the sympathy of your Board, and none deserving of aid have been turned away empty.
There has been distributed in wood, coal, groceries
. 33
and cash, from the relief fund, $1,531.22, which we trust will meet your approval.
Of the large number of men furnished by the Town, many have suffered in prisons of the South, and many died in the same.
The Company from this Town, commanded by Capt. Kinsley, after going through the campaign with Gen. Grant, were nearly all taken prisoners of war in the battle of Weldon Railroad, August 18th, Capt. Kinsley among the number, and at the last account from the front there remained but six of the rank and file of the original number.
And now, Fellow Citizens, in closing our report, may we all leaning upon the arm of Almighty God, with full faith, trust, and entire confidence, that He will in His own good time, relieve us from the terrible scourge of war that is now devastating our land, and once more make us a peaceful, prosperous and happy nation, and then from the ruins thereof will we raise a monument that will be the wonder and admiration of the world. And although we ever look upon the noble shaft on Bunker's height with love and admiration, and welcome with sacred veneration every thought or sound of their holy deeds, or the names of those true patriots in mem- ory of whom it was erected, the monument we will erect will as far outshine that as the sun at noonday outshines the stars at midnight ; the foundation, base and corner stone of which will be freedom, and the topmost stone a free school, and among the stars on the banner that will float from its summit, that will for ever remain one and inseparable, will be the stars of intelligence and refinement.

And if we will be guided by these, as the mariner is guided by the compass and chart, they will safely lead us onward and upward in the paths of duty, whether to man or God.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
JOHN R. POOR, NELSON HOWE. LEVI TIMSON, FRANCIS HOUGHTON, GEO. W. HADLEY, Selectmen of Somerville.
SOMERVILLE, March 1, 1865.
TREASURER'S RERORT.
By vote of the town at the annual meeting, the Treasurer was authorized to borrow $20,000, to be applied to the current expenses of the year. This loan was effected. in June, on a term of twenty years, from Miss Margaret Crudden, at five and a half per cent interest, payable semi-annually. Also $5000 to meet payment of note falling due December 1st, 1864. This amount was borrowed of the Warren Institution for Savings, on twenty years, at six per cent interest, the same payable semi- annually.
At meeting held August 25th, 1864, the Treasurer was instructed to borrow $21,000 to aid in filling the quota of the town. This was borrowed September 23d, from the Bunker Hill Fire Insurance Company, for twenty years, at six per cent interest, payable semi-annually. Under the special votes to borrow for State aid, anticipation of taxes, interest, soldiers' relief, &c., I have been governed by the strict necessities of the requirements, and by the vote of the town not to borrow until wanted. The cash balance in treasury is accordingly small, and will not probably meet all demands before the next annual meeting. .
The State Treasurer has refunded from State, on account of State aid paid by town in 1863, the sum of $17,417,58%, and from same, on account of recruiting, $9691476; also on account of corporation taxes $24965%. These amounts will be found credited to their proper departments.
The debt of the town, it will be perceived, has been largely increased, not from the ordinary expenditure, but from the calls made on us in common with all loyal towns and cities in the
36
country for soldiers and material of war to suppress rebellion, and the increased cost of all articles required. The increase of debt will therefore call for a larger appropriation for interest.
A note of $5,500 falls due in March, 1866, for which it will be necessary to provide at the annual meeting for appropri- ations. About $10,000 has been received and disbursed as allotments and bounties to soldiers' families. As superinten- dant of State aid, under the direction of Selectmen, the sum of $15,41317% has been paid to one hundred and eighty-four fami- lies, distributed in our town and in various towns in and out of the State; this duty involves much care and attention, and has been attended to in strict accordance with the laws of the State and a just liberality to soldiers' families.
