From these statements it appears that there was no necessity for any appropriation for this object, the last year; and probably the balance in the treasury at this time will be sufficient to meet the ex- penditures of the ensuing year, without any further appropriations.
There is due to the town from Mr. S. L. Morse, the sum of $30, for use of the pasture and meadow in the Cemetery lot.
And there is also due to the High School fund the sum of $8, from two scholars from Sturbridge, for tuition in the school for the Fall Term of 1863.
Respectfully submitted.
S. M. LANE, Toun Treasurer.
