1t appears that the report of their finance
committee February, 1875, that the indebted
ness of the town is 16,804.13; there is in the
hands of the treasurer and collector, uncollect-
ed taxes, bonds cash and other good assets, to
the amount of $17, ,O3S.04, leaving balance Of
$233.9 in favor of the town. In final collec-
ton and settlements of the taxes there will be
a few attachments, reducing the balance tri-
fie, but we are out of debt. Mr.. Cobb, the Su-
perinuendent of the Poor Farm, has supported
the entire family thereon from the products
raised, and accounted to the town for the sum
of over $4O0 for the past year. This is not
bad show taking into view that Gorham was
S74, ,154 81 in debt in the year 1866.

citation has been araTisua.ly large, and he has
done his best to supply the demand: but still
there are large number of persons really in
need of clothing, who are turned away every
day. Last evening in the space of an hour the
agent had over thirty calls, and over half the
applicants did not receive single article of
clothing for the simple reason that the agent
did not have anything suitable for them. Three
little boys called and wanted pantaloons, but
the agent did not have single pair in his
whole stock. There is a large amount of cast
away clothing which does not now do any one
any good which could, if sent to the agent, be
used to keep some poor unfortunate comforta-

will notify the agent where it can be had he
