Treasurer's Report
Receipts and payments for the year were as follows:
Balance, January 1, 1950 $ 475,214.58
1,384,905.95
Receipts
$1,860,120.53 1,326,627. 28
Payments
Balance, December 31, 1950
$
533,493.25
Disbursements were in accordance with 113 selectmen's war- rants, 16,300 checks having been issued. The increase of more than 1000 was due partly to its being a state election year and partly to two new functions of the office, prescribed by law : handling the receipts and expenditures of the School Lunch Pro- gram and, late in the year, of the Punchard Athletic Association funds. Included in the totals is $53,767.50, withheld from the pay of 295 full- and part-time employees for federal taxes. Pay deduc- tions for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds amounted to $4,401.73 and $5,585.93 for the dues of the Blue Cross and Shield.
Reference to other pages of the report will show the amount of cemetery perpetual care and other trust funds and of the Retire- · ment Board's funds, in the treasurer's custody. The number of pensioners at the end of the year was the same as at the be- ginning-24, and the average monthly pension about $75.
Tax titles number 18 and amount to $846.70.
Parking meter receipts were $10,362.78-about $200. less than last year due to the re-surfacing of Main Street.
Respectfully submitted,
THAXTER EATON, Treasurer
