We desire to call your attention to the Financial Standing of the town. You will see by the above comparative statement which shows an increase in net liabilities of $826.03. Now if you will refer to the report of 1904, you will see that your Treasurer of that year reports that there was $892.00 interest due March 29, which should have been added to the liabilities of that year. We think some provision should be'made to take care of this interest, also to pay a part of these notes every year. We would also call your attention to the Arrearage bill of $181.66 due on Log Bridge account that came over from last year, which should also have been added to the liabilities of that year.

ANNUAL REPORT


The School District also voted to appoint a committee to look after No. S school-house, and to lay out what they thought was necessary. We have already paid out $462.91 for which no provision had been made. Now when you take all of the * above accounts into consideration, it would show instead of an increase, a decrease to the amount of $708.54.


Respectfully submitted, GEO. V. EASTMAN, HAVEN A. QUINT, C. E. MESERVE. Selectmen of Conway.
