REMARKS.
By turning to the account of the Central Street Walk it will be seen that the same is overdrawn to the amount of $849.79. There are, however, assessments due from abutters amounting to $ 500.30, as follows :
Samuel C. Hartwell, 18 99
Peter Martin,
49 95
M. J. Surprenant, - $77 43 New York and New England Railroad Company, 72 98 Thomas Potter, - -
70 91
Mrs H. W. Jackson.
66 61
Lorenzo Morton, (homestead), - 76 81
Lorenzo Morton, (Holmes house), - 33 31
Alfred E. Holmes, - -
-
33 31
$500 30
which, if paid, would leave the account overdrawn $349.49, instead of $849 79.
It will also be observed that the account of Salaries is over- drawn to the amount of $277.82. There are bills still outstand- ing chargeable to this account as follows :
Rev. Silvanus Hayward, services as School Committee, $37 50 James J. Oakes, services as School Committee, - 31 25
There is also an outstanding bill, chargeable to Contingent Schools, of C. H. Bigelow of $ 1 1.86.
For Dresser Street Extension there is a credit of $211.02; $250 was appropriated from this account to pay Mr. Chester A. Dresser for land damages, which was tendered him (as we understand) and which he refused to accept.
