THE annual village report for the year end
ing December /, 1886, is most gratifying in
many respects. The treasurer's report shows
the following receipts; Taxes, So, ,0S1.S2;
water-works, S3,79s.25 Capital hall, S54.l7,
and minor items to the amount of Sl1 60
The disbursements have been: Balance due
treasurer, S2i2,64; bailiffs' orders, $S72S.75;
additional water loan, $4,000; temporary
loan, 5000; interest on bonded and other
debts, S2,9OS. 20-eaving balance of S66.25
in favor of the village. The total indebt-
edness of the village is S5l 600, the odd
thousand being the balance due of an addi-
tonal loan for the water-works. The esti-
mates for the coming year are as follows:
Floating debt as above, 81 900; interest on
bonded and floating debts, $500; ordinary
expenses, S3,700-making total of $1,000
Deducting S3,55i,7S, estimated net receipts
from water.works and balance due from the
collector, S3,4l5.22 are left TO be provided
for. A tax of only twelve per cent on the
grand list for 1885 will more than provide
for this amount. The ordinary expenses
year and there is other evidence that the
affairs of the village are in good hands.
The village has not often been troubled in
the past with a balance in its favor from the
years transactions.
