During the year 1957 the 20th and final note on our present Schoolhouse was paid, leaving Mendon without debt with the exception of $12,000 in Water Notes, which should be self liquidating. The voters of Mendon, by add- ing $5,000 to the Stabilization Fund each year, have built up a backlog of over $45,000. This amount, plus our sur- plus revenue, puts Mendon in a substantial and enviable position financially.
