Less amount received for dividends, or return premiums, 132 75


Net amount paid, $4,219 86


The excess of expenditure for insurance ($2,719.86 over the appropriation of $1,500) has accrued from the necessity of effecting a large amount of re-insurance in consequence of the " Boston Fire," and the erection of new buildings for whose insurance no additional appropriation was made. The premiums on re-insurance have amounted to $2,150, showing a loss to the town of $1,130, which may be some- what reduced by return premiums or dividends.
