other expenses call for the balance oi
the amount expended. This fiscal year the
expenses will be heavier, as the depart
rnent heads are calling for more help and
the fire and police departments need more
men and more material Last year no
i,dqmepts TO speak Of were paid, but a
start has been made on TINS hscal year DS
paying a claim of $40.
THE amount of money expended for char
itv last fiscal year was more than double
that of other years and this year only $l,Wo
is appropriated for charity. At least NO,VO
will have to be spent for new fire hali
and then will come additional apparatus
and more men. All this will come out OF
the available funds for the current year
along with some other improvements con-
templated.
All of the money received last fiscal year
is accounted for in the report of the treas
urer and, clerk and a balance Of $1,000 was
left to be transferred to the accounts lot
the present fiscal year. Interest and sal
aries and street repairs, lighting and water
eat I'D the greater portion Of each year
