You will note the overdrafts of Police and Fire Depart- ments, Forest Fires, Health, Poor and Soldiers' Relief, also Highway and School unpaid bills, for which appropriations should be made at the Annual Town Meeting.
The books of the Assessors, Tax Collector, S. D. J. Car- ter Lecture Committee, Trustees of Trust Funds and Town Clerk's Dog Tax Records have been examined and found in order.
