Finances
The Treasurer's report for the year ending December 31st, 1928, shows a credit balance of $12,500 and from the Collector of Taxes report we find uncollected taxes of $9,500, making available $22,000. This money should be used to pay a Town note, borrowed late in December in anticipation of taxes, of $15,000 and also to retire a note of $7,000 borrowed to complete the resurfacing of the Sta- tion Road. Both of these notes become due in 1929.
