The Town debt shows a reduction of $4,664.49, but part of this is due to the change in the manner of raising money for school purposes. In the past the Selectmen have carried all school money in their ac- counts, but the past year the Board of Education has borrowed $3,000, and this is carried as a School District Debt.
