AUDITORS REPORT. From the report
Of the Auditors OF the town of Middle
bury for the past year, it appears that
the amount Of orders drawn by the &c.
lccimeu is s2.5S7 IL, viz for roads
aud bridges, sl,6l0 81. Miscellaneous,
Sn76 35.
The amount paid by Selectmens orders
for expenses is less than that expend, d
for the year ending Feb. 81, 1871 in
the sum OF Sl,7l3 60.
The amount OF orders drawn by the
overseer Of poor the past year is g.
365 "a, viz for support of poor not on
Town Farm Sl,076 70, for support OF
poor Oh Town Farm and carrying on
same S1,2S9 81.
The expenses Of poor not on Town
Farm have decreased as compared with
the year ending Feb. 81, 1871, in the
sum of s203 As.
The expense of carrying on the Town
Farm and support of paupers thereon,
has increased as compared with the pre-
ceding year in the sum Of 1896 OIL.
The amount of property sold from the
Town Farm and the money paid into the
treasury, is S491 81 an Increase over
that in the year ending Feb. 81, 1871 in
the sum Of 1922 76.
The amount of property on Town Farm,
as valued by Sclectmen Feb. IA, 1872,
as per their appraisal in this report, is
less than the amount on hand as shown
Feb. 81. 1871. S56S 90. This arises
rarty from tho fact that various kinds
of property on the farm as appraised is
worth less, or has less market value when
offered for sale than the same kind, would
have sold for in Feb. 1871. BY com.
pairing the last year appraisal with this
the difference in quantities aud prices will
be seen.
The amount paid into the Town Treas
ury the past year, arising from the net
proceeds of sale Of liquors, is 81 ,O65 81,
aud is 1907 70 less than paid III during
the year ending Feb. q, 1871.
III the fual adjustment OF the finances
Of the town we fnI debts outstanding a.
gaiust the town unpaid to the amount OF
$50 o.
So small au amount of orders outstand-
ing at the annual settlement of the affairs
OF the town is unprecedented in its his.
tory, and is matter of congratu alton
to all
Their estimate Of the current expenses
Of the town the ensuing year is S6,776.
Total amount Of outstanding orders
and estimated expenses, S6,866 "a.
To meet this amouutthe town has funds
to the amount of 1882 o. Leaving a
balance to be provided for by tax, in a.
mount, s3,5l4 IL.
The grand list will probably amount
to about $4,000, and Il tax Of 40 cents
on the dollar will, they think raise Il sufi
Gent amount to pay the above balance.
