Last year I recommended that the balance of $3292.99 re- ceived on account of Surplus War Bonus, and $500.00 re-
27
ceived a few years ago from the sale of property on Pearl Street be made use of, but no definite action was taken. I make the same recommendation this year and suggest that the Finance Commission be advised of any plans that may ex- ist for its use.
I recommend that the sum of $1500.00 be transferred from Overlay Reserve to Overlay of 1926, the Overlay of that year having been insufficient to take care of the Abatements granted by the Assessors.
My association with the heads of the different depart- ments has, indeed, been pleasant, and I am grateful for the splendid co-operation shown during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH V. CAREY,
Town Accountant.
