No interest has been paid within the year on the notes of $800, of $600, and that of $1000, dated Dec. 10, 1866.
By the last year's report it appears that the town was then indebted for notes payable,
$17,500 00
And to the school Districts and other accounts, 3,975 62
Total indebtedness,

The same statement now presented shows that the Town is indebted for notes payable,
14,400 00
And to the Districts and other accounts, 4,181 19
Total indebtedness,
18,581 19
Deduct cash and assets in the treasury,
2,724 10
Balance against the Town,
$15,857 09
An increase of $6,209.42 in the balance against the Town.
At the last annual meeting the Town raised by tax the sum of $5000 for the payment of debts ; and also, at the same meeting, passed a vete instructing the Treasurer to pay out of the cash on hand the further sum of $5000, making $10,000 appropriated by the Town for the payment of debts then outstanding. The only payment made from these appropriations, was the note of $3100, paid the fifth of Novem- ber last. The Treasurer borrowed at several times, as authorized, in anticipation of the receipts of taxes, the sum of $4000, which should have been refunded on the 2d of November last, but was not paid till Feb. 1, 1868. The financial wisdom that allows money appropriated for a specific purpose to remain idle in the treasury, while the Town is paying interest thereon, can hardly be commended.
