Town Treasurer MICHAEL J. O'LEARY
REPORT OF TRUST FUND COMMISSIONERS
In compliance with the recommendations of the State Auditors in their audit of February 2, 1961, the Town Treasurer liquidated the Veterans Memorial Fund, and the Central Fire Station Fund, by restoring the funds to their original sources
One of the assets of the Veterans Memorial Fund was $14,000.00 U. S. Treasury 41/4 % 25-year Bonds, which, upon a vote of your Trust Funds Commissioners, were sold on May 15, 1961 at 105 16/32 - the town realizing a profit of $771.62 on the sale.
On October 9, 1961, we voted to exchange $20,000.00 U. S. Treasury 21/2 % Bonds maturing in 1965 for $20,000.00 U. S. Treasury 31/2% Bonds maturing in 1990 - Elementary School Trust Funds. This will increase the yearly income from these funds by $200.00.
On November 15, 1961 the First National Bank of Boston declared a stock dividend at the rate of 1 share for each 7 owned. The Stoddard Fund received 39 shares and 2/7 fractional interest. The H. H. Rogers Elementary School Fund received 19 shares and 3/7 fractional interest. The fractional interest was sold and the proceeds: $28.58 added to the Stoddard Fund Savings Account and $42.87 to the H. H. Rogers Elementary School Savings Account.
