In the above summary it will be noticed
that there is cash on hand in treasury Of
S5,S93.2T, $4,000 of which is in the saw
ings bank drawing 4 per cent. interest. This
would look very we'll If it were not for the
fact that the town has at present S2,S34.13
OF outstanding orders drawing Id per
cent interest and $6,450 drawing S per cent.
and when this is taken into consideration
IT will readily be seen that the town is ac-
tually losing ga per cent. interest every
day this money is allowed to stay where it
is. 1t is hoped that board of selectmen
will be put in office the coming year who
will see to il that some of these orders
