Amount of non-resident's tuition from
April LIST, 1894, S532, against 1923 for the
previous year. There has been collected
and paid into the treasury of this amount
S4G2.
We had in the treasury March 9th,
1894, 50, 1863. We received from public
money, S771. We received from nOn.res-
ldents, S4G2. Paid direct to treasurer
from taxes, less his fees, S5,95j.j6. Re-
ceived from collector, from old taxes,
S522. 10, which would have left a def
cheney of about $500. The selectmen
made a division of public money, March
I'D, 1895, of 81, 3lS. "A, which has not gen
orally come into the treasury until the
coming year, leaving balance now in
the treasury of 81, l00.43.
We are to receive from public money
IN September, 1895, about $500 We will
receive, we think it safe to say, from
non-residents, about $500, from collector
from uncolected taxes about S4OO, leav-
ing balance to be provided for by tax,
estimating the expense the same as last
year, of SS,34O,31. Our present grand
list of school district is about $1,000,
aud tax of 45 cents would raise $500,
and would recommend a tax of 10 cents.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
