There is also an order drawn on Town Treasurer by the Municipal Light Board, Dec. 27, 1911, for $2,500, of which no entry is made on the Town books. Presumably this is intended to make some adjustment of the Stetson note, so called, now held by the Trustees of Thayer Library.
The Treasurer invites close attention of the citizens to the statement of unpaid taxes as shown by the Collector's report and its corollary the condition of the Treasury.
For two years he has tried in vain to have some changes made in the method of collection.
The Town fixes a date after which any taxes unpaid shall carry interest at six per cent. per annum. This is the only time at which the Treasurer can depend on the receipt of any money of consequence. The date named for many years has ben Dec. 1 and is too late.
The Town is obliged to borrow immediately after the March meeting. Maturities cannot be made until after Dec. 1st and this makes the notes too long to command the lowest market rate.
For several years the Town has carried over a tax loan of $20,000 payment of which has practically depended on a new loan, and conservative financing will not go any farther in that direction.
126
If the tax payers will read their bills they will note a vote standing for many years, viz. :--
"All taxes unpaid Feb. 1st will be collected according to law made and provided." The only adequate remedy for existing conditions is to make a reasonable enforcement of the vote.

The barn on Town Street was totally destroyed by fire on March 26, 1911, and has been replaced by a new building costing $777.00 of which amount $420.00 was received from insurance and the balance $357.00 was paid from income.
We find the above securities correct and the disbursement of $420.00 from the insurance vouched for in bill of H. W. Borden, $777.00.
