At our last Annual Town Meeting the voters voted to continue the West Side Sewer Project. Due to the fact that this work was not ex- pected to commence until the late fall, your Treasurer did not attempt to sell the bonds to finance this project until the funds were necessary so as to save any further expense to the Town. On October 1962, this bond issue of $376,000.00 was sold at a very favorable interest rate of 2.90%. The Dow Jones Municipal Average at that time was 3.10% and the rate during the summer was 3.34%. This issue was timed so as to have the principal of $20,000.00 due on November 1 of each year so as to enable us to have the funds available to meet this obligation. A total of $250,000.00 was invested because we felt that this amount would not be used until a later date.
The sale of these bonds required a hearing before the Emergency Finance Board due to the fact that a portion of the issue was to be borrowed outside the Town Debt Limit.
During the past year the Town received a total of $1,825.94 on the investment of the funds for the First Section of the West Side Sewer Project. This money is returned to the Town as estimated receipts and will help to defray the tax rate.
On November 1, 1962 we found that we had a surplus of funds in our General Account and we invested $400,000.00 of this in U. S. Govern- ment Securities.
This year we were again fortunate in not having to borrow in anti- cipation of taxes, due to the promptness of a majority of our taxpayers in meeting their obligations. There were a few who did not pay their bills and at the present time the Town is holding liens on their property in the amount of $15,346.84. If these taxes are not paid within two (2) years from the date of taking by the Town, they are foreclosed to the Town and sold at Public Auction.

ANNUAL REPORT
The only outstanding Real Estate Taxes for the years 1960 and 1961 are those assessed to the N.Y., N.H. & Hartford Railroad. These cannot be taken by the Town due to an exemption granted them under a state law and the Federal Courts.
During the calendar year 1962, your Treasurer received a total of $4,032,510.76 and paid out a total of $3,970,444.99 using 23,737 checks for this purpose. Of this total number, 15,519 checks were issued to cover our payroll.
As you know, we must collect all the money due the Town and pay all bills. In this process, we meet many problems. One of the items that gives us the most trouble during the course of a year is the collection of electric light and gas bills. We do not like to shut off service to any- one because of nonpayment, but feel that we must at times in order to be fair to all of our customers. In the collection of taxes, we feel that whenever a taxpayer receives a complete explanation of the workings of the law, he will promptly pay his bills. In both these matters, we are governed by the date on the bill. By following this rule we try not to give preference to anyone, but to treat all individuals on the same basis.
The following charts will give you an explanation of the collections and the amounts outstanding as of December 31, 1962.
I would like to thank all of the office personnel, both in my office and the Town Hall in general, for their very fine cooperation during the past year. I also wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Town Man- ager, Town Clerk and all others concerned. Our greatest thanks goes to all those taxpayers who paid their bills on time and made our work that much easier.
Respectfully submitted,
BRUCE G. ATWOOD
