Unexpended, $487 54
Note-As the work of printing is not completed, the payment therefor has not been made. At a special town meeting in 1897 $350 was appropriated, which will be raised in the taxes of 1898, and $200 appropriated from the amount appropriated for miscellaneous expenses in 1897. The unexpended balance will probably cover the bill for printing, but under the town bylaws the payment will be made from the miscellaneous account unless otherwise pro- vided for at a future town meeting.
