Report of Police Court Justice.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Lancaster-Gentlemen:
The first fiscal year of my office as justice of the police court having reached its termination I beg leave to submit the following report :
I have received since my appointment in May last in fines and costs in criminal cases the sum of one hundred and ninety-two dollars and thirty-one cents, $192 31
I have paid moieties
68 00
Special justice
10 00
78 00
Leaving in my hands $114 31
I have received from sale of writs and fees in civil suits 14 10
$128 41
The salary voted by the town is $300 per annum, so you will readily see that should I exact my full salary the town would be in arrears. But I propose to remit that por- tion of the salary unpaid by the receipts, and in future, should the receipts from the office be less than $300 the deficit shall be remitted by me, and should the receipts from the office exceed $300, the balance shall be paid into the town treasury.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
WM. H. SHURTLEFF, Justice Police Court. Dated at Lancaster, Feb. 14, 1897.
