* We think this bill properly belongs to the Poor Department. and have so suggested to the Overseers, who admit it, but their Report being in the printer's hands. and as any change would necessarily affect their conclusions and balances in quite a number of places. it was thought best not to disturb, it. The cause of the bills appearing in this department is due to the fact that they were rendered together with other bills by the Janitor. and a proper discrimination not being made as they passed through the Selectmen's hands -(AUDITORS.)
