The books of the Milk Inspector, Sealer of Weights and Measures, and the Town Clerk's record of Dog Licenses have been examined and found correct.
There is but one overdraft or deficit shown in the accounts for the year, "Overlayings and Abatements on 1920 Taxes." This is due to the small amount of Overlayings included in the Tax Levy by the Assessors. The Income Taxes received exceeded the amount of the Assessor's estimate about $4,000, and it would seem proper to transfer from these receipts sufficient funds to cover this deficit and future abatements that may be made on this account.
There is in the treasury $95.81 credited to Tax Title Surplus which has been carried for six years, and no claimant having appeared it is now available for the Town to use and I would advise its transfer.
Unpaid bills for 1920 as reported to me are as follows:
Schools
$3,095.54
Schools, repairs
201.26
New Town Hall (Fuel)
348.52
Old Town Hall (Fuel and repairs)
283.13
Of the three latter accounts the bills were contracted in 1920 but were not presented until about the middle of January, 1921. Of the school bills, many of which are dated late in December, the larger part is for supplies intended for use in 1921.
