[NOTE .- This is one out of many financial statements on record and it shows the method pursued by the Trustees of the Town in hiring out the meadows and marshes and their disposition of the proceeds. It also shows their claim of title to lands under water on the North and South shores under the town patents. It was the custom of the Trustees from a very early date, and the same has continued to the present day, to hire out, and in some cases sell in fee, such lands under water. Before and for many years after the date of these papers the practice was to appoint one or more days in each year for
hiring out the South and North Meadows, and minute ac- counts were kept of such transactions in small yearly account books. These little books, endorsed "Thatch Books," are carefully arranged in the order of date, placed in one package and filed among the town papers, but it has not been thought important to print them .- C.
