It will be observed that the appropriation for the current and incidental account of this year is $6,Soo, and the over expendi- ture is $2,315.20. This fact requires explanation. A careful ex- amination of this account, which is given in full detail, with every payment set forth, will disclose the character of the many different claims which it has to provide for and pay. This account, in its application, is a general one, providing for the payment of all claims against the town, for which neither special nor general appropriations are made. In other words, if the town fails to make a sufficient appropriation for this account, or to provide for certain matters which actually demand a special appropriation, then of necessity this account must be overdrawn. The exact amount necessary for this account cannot be correctly estimated on account of its miscellaneous character. But it seems to us that it is possible to more nearly approximate a basis of appropriation than that which was voted at the last annual town meeting. Let us examine the facts. The appropriation for this account in IS92 was $6,900, and in that year was overdrawn to the amount of $714.32. In other words nearly $S,ooo was needed that year to meet the demands of that department.
With these facts in their possession, the committee of fifteen recommended a reduction of one hundred dollars in the appropri- ation for 1893, and the town voted the sum of $6,800. In so doing the town accepted the responsibility of an overdrawn account and it could not be avoided. Even though no appropriations are made all legal claims must be paid. Examine the items. The salaries and
44
ANNUAL REPORT.
patrol service are established by vote of the town, and in the aggregate amount to $4,255.90, leaving the sum of $2,544.10 with which to pay the contingent and incidental expenses of this account. The Soldiers Relief item of $1,351.76 alone consumed more than half of this balance and exceeded the previous year by $807.70. If it is thought that this item is too large and an un- necessary burden, an examination of the laws in relation thereto (which we have above fully cited) will show that it can only be avoided by a repeal of those laws, or by a return to the national prosperity of former years.
Again, it must be remembered that the current and incidental account pays for all the office supplies and books for the Town Clerk, Assessors and Collectors, and the entire printing bill for a majority of the departments. Out of this account must also be paid the bills for surveying, service of officers, town meeting ex- penses, and the many other items set forth in the above account, all of which in the aggregate are an unknown quantity, and in considering an appropriation therefor can only at best be estimated.
In 1892 an appropriation of $500 was made for the numbering of houses, and only $58.75 of this appropriation expended in that year, the balance of the appropriation, by vote of the town, being at the end of the year turned into the treasury. Consequently the current and incidental account of this year without any appropri- ation therefor, paid in January the balance of this bill amounting to $327.10.
After a careful examination of the items of this account, and a full consideration of all the facts in relation to the same, the im- partial voter will, we trust, conclude with us, that this overdraft has been unavoidable.
We recommend a special appropriation of $1,500 for the Soldiers' Relief account the ensuing year.
The appropriations for the current and incidental account for the last five years were as follows :

IS90 7,000
