The overdrawal in this department is chiefly in the salary of the Collector, a portion of which belonged to previous years. The Police department is also slightly overdrawn, and it is probable that some bills are included in the above list which properly belong to the appropriation for the En- forcement of the Liquor-laws, but which were not indicated sufficiently to admit of definite discrimination.
