TREASURER'S REPORT.
To the Citizens of Wakefield :
I herewith present my report for the fiscal year ending February 1st, 1896.
TRUST FUNDS-
THE FLINT MEMORIAL FUND, $1,000.
This fund was a gift to the town by Mrs. Harriet N. Flint, November 5th, 1872 ; the income thereon is to be expended in the purchase of books for the town library.
The fund is now invested in a note of the town of Wakefield (Armory loan), dated August 1, 1894, bearing interest at the rate of four per centum per annum, due December 1, 1904.
The sum of $40, as one year's interest, has been credited to the library account.
DR. F. P. HURD LIBRARY FUND, $2,500.
This fund is for the benefit of the Beebe Town Library, and is invested in coupon notes of the town of Wakefield, bearing inter- est at the rate of four per centum per annum.
The sum of $100 as interest has been credited to the library account.
C. WAKEFIELD LIBRARY FUND, $500.
This fund, bequeathed by the second Cyrus Wakefield, is for the benefit of the Town Library, and is invested in the same man- ner as the Dr. Hurd Fund.
The sum of $20 as interest has been credited to the library account.
Note-The Dr. Hurd and C. Wakefield funds above-mentioned, were accidentally omitted from the town report of last year,
119
JONATHAN NICHOLS TEMPERANCE FUND, $1,000.
The fund was a gift to the town by the late Jonathan Nichols. The conditions of the trust are such that any young man of our town who files his name with the Town Clerk before he is sixteen years of age, and declares his intention not to drink intoxicating liquors, and not to smoke or chew tobacco until he shall have be- comne twenty-one years of age, and shall have kept his pledge until that time, shall receive from the income of the fund, the sum of ten dollars, together with a certificate of commendation from the Selectmen.
The Town Clerk's records show that 465 young men have en- rolled their names under this pledge. Ten whose names are given below, have been paid the fee during the past year, making a total of forty-four, since the trust was received by the town.
The fund is at present invested in a note of the town of Wake- field (Armory loan), due December 1, 1904, and bears interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum.
