STATE AID.
The following individuals have been paid State Aid direct from the treasurer on instructions from the Selectmen. Other state aid con- sisting of Military Aid, Soldiers' Relief and Spanish War, is paid direct by selectmen and will be found in Auditors' report. The sum named below exceeds the appropriation although an increased sum was appropriated last year. It is difficult to anticipate the require- ments of this department, for new cases seem to arise faster than the list is decreased by deaths and removals. The whole amount expended, however, is re-imbursed in full by the state.

$34,427, 20
A further sum will be required for interest. It is difficult to anti- cipate at this time the requirements of this department on account of the sewerage bonds, the amount of which will be placed upon the market during the coming year, being unknown at the present time, but I recommend the appropriation of $18,000, with the possibility that an additional amount may be asked for before the completion of the municipal year.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS J. SKINNER, Treasurer. Wakefield, Feb. 9, 1901.
