OTHER EXPENDITURES.
In addition to the above, the following expenses were incurred and paid without special appropriations therefor, the same, with one or two exceptions, having been author- ized by vote of the Town. The item of " Insurance As- sessments," occasioned by the failure and losses of Insur- . ance Companies, in consequence of the Boston fire of November, 1872, was an unavoidable demand, payable like any others growing out of unusual or special emergencies ; the discretionary power vested by statute in the Board of Selectmen, as the financial officers of the Town, giving them all requisite authority for that purpose.

This amount does not include temporary loans ($114,000) negotiated and liquidated within the year.
27
$333,300 appropriated for 1873, $35,427.45 remained un- expended at the close of the year.
The results now given show the gross cash receipts to have been $525,580.28; the gross cash payments $512, 116.92; and the net expenses $397,496.62 - the latter ex- hibiting the actual cost to the Town, after the deduction of credits to the several accounts represented under that designation. As an illustration, the income from rent of the Town Hall was $469, which, deducted from the gross expenses on the same account ($1,054.57) makes the net expenditure $585.57. Of the commissions allowed for the collection of taxes, $877.57 was for previous years. Many other items of financial interest might be enumer- ated in this connection, but most of these will be readily suggested by an examination of results.
STATEMENT OF LOANS.
Of the $37,000 appropriated in 1873 for the liquidation of the then outstanding Town loans, only $14,000 was used for that purpose, thereby reducing the amount from $421,000 to $407,000. The annual interest on these loans now ranges from five to seven per cent, nearly half of the whole amount bearing six per cent. Of the aggregate, a small portion is payable on demand ; $112,000 will mature during the next five years ; and $176,000 at periods ran- ging from thirteen to nineteen years.
The following is a statement of the transactions of the last year in this connection, and of the loans existing at the close of the Town administration : -

STATEMENT OF TAXES.
The assessment of taxes for 1873, amounting to $385,- 561.23, was $51,246.36 in excess of 1872; and the amount remaining unpaid at the close of 1873 ($64,391.38) was more than $30,000 in excess of the previous year. To this circumstance, mainly, is to be attributed the reduced amount of cash in the Treasury at the close of the year, and the consequent necessity of borrowing money to meet accruing liabilities, the cash on hand being scarcely more than one-fourth of the amount in the Treasury at the be- ginning of the year.

Decrease of Town Debt,
$24,257 09
The foregoing statement is submitted in the usual form ; but while its mathematical arrangement shows an apparent decrease of $24,257.09 in the Town debt, the loans actually outstanding cannot be figured less than $407,000. As in-
31
timated, the reduction is apparent rather than real; and besides, the cash on hand and to be received from other specified sources is at all times applicable for the payment of accrued and accruing expenses, as well as to the liquida- tion of loans, while the uncollected taxes are subject to considerable reduction from abatements and losses. Though properly classed as productive assets, these items do not practically reduce any debt till actually applied for that purpose.
