REMARKS
The Surplus Revenue at the close of the year shows $10,258.74. I was advised by the Director of Accounts that the money refunded to the Town by the County which was a balance from the Building of the Essex County Sanatorium, should not be used for anything but the Sanatorium bonded Debt. This, of course, makes the Surplus Revenue smaller by $3,773.94 and on the other hand sets up an account from which we can pay bonded Debt for Hospital.
The Accounts have been verified and Temporary Loans have all been paid but one for $10,000, which becomes due May 24, 1928.
Again thanking all who have assisted me in compiling this report, especially those who have made their reports to me early, which is of great advantage to me.
I respectfully submit the same,
OSCAR E. PHILLIPS, Town Accountant.
