TOWN OF ACTON.


Selectmen's Report.


We respectfully submit to you our report for the year ending March 12th, and recommendations for the present year.


For State tax,


$1,100 00


" County tax,


1,400 00


" Memorial Library,


600 00


" Schools,


4,700 00


" School supplies,


475 00


" Scientific apparatus,


150 00


" Transportation of scholars,


240 00


" Roads and bridges,


2,500 00


" Overlayings,


400 00


Town charges, the following :


Miscellaneous expenses,


$1,150 00


Discount on taxes,


1,000 00


Town officers,


1,400 00


Support of poor,


800 00


Repairs on town buildings,


600 00


Street lamps,


350 00


Cemetery expenses,


200 00


Interest on debt,


300 00


Printing,


150 00


Soldiers' relief,


50 00


6,000 00


$17,565 00


According to these recommendations your rate of taxation will be about the same as last year, $11.00.


We expected to have reduced the debt last year on a $11.00 rate, but as there was an expenditure of money in a certain line


10


ANNUAL REPORTS


on which there was no estimate made, it was impossible to do so. Had it not been for this our estimate would have come within $200.00 of the actual cost.


If you appropriate a sum of money for a certain object, that money comes from the amount raised for town charges, and if it is not figured in that amount it must come from somewhere, and it will therefore necessarily increase your debt.


Whereas if you raise a certain sum it will increase your rate and not change your debt. In looking over the warrant it seems to us that your rate will be very much higher than we have es- timated, if you grant all that is asked for in it, but the matter is in your hands to decide.


According as you vote so must your rate be. At the end of our report you will find the valuation and some financial statistics of the town for the past thirty years, which may be of interest to you.


Following is the financial report :
