Treasurer's Report
Receipts and payments for the year were as follows :
Balance, January 1, 1951 $ 533,493.25 2,517,472.70
Receipts
$3,050,965.95 2,250,402.26
Payments
Balance, December 31, 1951
$ 800,563.69
Of this balance, $409,554.60 is in the Elementary Schools Building account, practically all invested in U. S. Treasury bills, earning slightly more than the interest the town is paying on that portion of its 11/2% bonds, $800,000. of which were sold last May. This leaves a balance of $391,009.09 in the general fund, which is the figure to be compared with the January 1 balance.
Disbursements were in accordance with 114 selectmen's warrants and 17,663 checks were issued. Included in the totals above is $74,794.40, withheld from the pay of 308 full or part-time town employees for federal taxes. Payroll de- ductions for the purchase of U. S. Defense Bonds amounted to $4,342.99 and $6,892.91 for Blue Cross and Blue Shield dues.
Cemetery perpetual care and other trust funds, as well as the funds of the Retirement Board, all in the treasurer's cus- tody, are listed on other pages of this report. The number of pensioners increased by one and at the end of the year was 25. The average monthly pension increased by $4.00 to $79.00.
Tax titles numbered 16 and amounted to $972.54
