FINAL STATEMENT.
During the year 1908 the following payments will come due, which are to be included in the tax levy for that year by votes which the town has already passed, except water and light plant which are paid from income of plant :
Municipal light plant
. $6,000 00

Appropriations since annual meeting
. 19,071 00
Total
. $46,621 00
In addition to above, there will be required $34, 141.24 to pay interest, but as interest on water and light plant bonds will probably be voted from assessments and receipts of those departments, and as there should be sewer apportionments of $2,990. 1I coming due in taxes, this amount will be reduced to $16,648.63 to be raised by taxation.
Owing to the condition of the money market during the past year, the town has been obliged to pay high rates of in- terest on its temporary loans which accounts largely for the overdraft in interest account.
142
As it seems very improbable that interest rates will fall to their old level for some time to come, your treasurer believes that the rate to be charged on unpaid taxes should be raised to six per cent. in common with many cities and towns about us.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT W. FLINT,
Treasurer.
WAKEFIELD, Feb. 8, 1908.

Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
The Overseers would submit the following report :
The farm, buildings, etc., are in good condition. We were obliged to buy a new horse this fall. We have cut thirty-five tons of hay, but owing to the dry weather our produce was very much reduced, only raising about one hundred and fifty bushels of potatoes, and other vegetables in proportion. We have cut over fifty cords of wood and ten thousand feet of pine logs. We also received from the park at Hart's hill, about twenty-three cords of wood, which we will make good use of and for which we thank the Park Commissioners.
Again this year we have had a great deal of sickness among the old people at the farm, and three of the inmates have died. We have 14 inmates at present, several of whom are sick abed. We have had several hard cases this year, but we have tried to use our best judgment for the interest of the town. We have overrun our appropriation a thousand dollars through a misunderstanding with the Finance Committee. The receipts of the Department have been $2,957.41, $1,851.73 being from the farm.
