Interest on Bonds to Feb. 17, 1866,

SELECTMEN'S ACCOUNT.


Of the $17600,00 outstanding Bonds there is 1500,00 which ma- tures on the first day of May, 1866, together with the Interest due on 17,600.00 from Nov. 1st, 1865, to May 1st, 1866, of 528.00, making 2,028.00 which is expected to be met at that time from funds now in the Treasury.


There will be due Nov. 1st, 1866, the Interest on the $16100,00 Bonds then outstanding from May 1st, 1866, to Nov. 1st, 1866, 483 .- 00, together with the 2000.00 Bonds, which mature May 1st, 1867, and the interest on the 16,100.00 Bonds from Nov. 1st, 1866, to May 1st, 1867, 483.00, making 2,966.00 to be provided for by as- sessment.


We are of the opinion that the outstanding Notes and Interest amounting to 3,532.20, Dec. 1st, 1866, can be met by family aid fur- nished by the Town in 1865, due from State Dec. 1st, 1866, and in- corporate stocks taxed by the State and due the Town about that time

2,500


Deficiency of last year,
