Supt. Hendon reported that all the
schools opened were doing good work
and that they seemed to be giving salts
faction to the patrons. A good en-
rollment had been reported from most
OF them, but he feared that some
children were being kept out of school
by the inability Of their parents, in
these hard times, to purchase clothes
and books. The hues of the Ninth
Ward and Freeland schools were
blown of by the recent storm and the
house at Freeland was blown of It's
blocks.
The celebration of the opening o.
the new room at Grange Hall wa'
quite success. A large number o
citizens from the fifth ward we're pres
ent, enjoyed a good basket dinner
and the addresses Of Congressman
Wickliffe and Supt. Harris were help
full and inspiring. The people wer
especially pleased with the sPlendiC
house which had been built for them
All the schools still need map
and globes and some OF them nee'
more seats and desks.
The following teachers were ap
pointed to the vacancies upon the rec
ommendation OF Supt. HendOn:

conference.-the, your Committee,
beg leave to report that during the
month of September we made careful
audit of the books of the Secretary.
and Treasurer of the Town, beginning
from date of last audit, October, 1908,
to September LIST, 1909, and We found
same correct with the following minor
exceptions:
The Secretary upon one occasion
deposited with the Treasurer for
License account the sum OF $500
which had been included in previous
deposit and upon another occasion
he deposited $l.00 for Tax Account
which had been deposited before, and
we recommend that a warrant be is
sued in favor of Secretary for the sum
of $500 to cover said over-payments.
We checked each Water and Light
Consumers account separately and
found same correct with the exception
of one account which contained an
error amounting 70 Sl.00 and which
will be collected by Secretary and in
eluded in October receipts.
We checked the Assessment book
and found that all taxes had been paid
in with the exception of three items.
Two of these we ascertained to be as
sessed through error and owning no
property in the town, and the other
has not been paid on account of the
inability of Clerk to locate owners.
The latter has been handed to the City
Attorney for attention.
We found all licenses paid for the
year 1909, except Dog License which
will be turned in during the month of
October.
The account of the Mayor and Mar
shall shows that all fines assessed have
been paid, or time served.
The Treasurers account now stands
as follows, and balances with Secre-
tary's book: September LIST 1909:
Cash in Corporation Fund. $5l4 "a
Overdraft Plant Fund. ....... 240 81
Cash on hand. .,....... $274 81
The Plant Fund shows an overdraft
on account of collections for water
and light bills for August not being
included, while expenditures for that
month were included.
The balance due by the Town on the
Plant amounts to 100000 and will be
paid out of the proceeds of the 5 mill
special tax to be collected between
October |, 1909 and March |, 1910,
The special tax will not have to be
collected after the latter date.
The report of the Secretary showing
receipts and disbursements from Mar.
lst, to September which is attached
hereto, shows that the Plant is paying
all running expenses and we do not
recommend any change in existing
rates. The run from March to Sep.
TENDER shows small deficit, but this
is overcome considerably by the run
from September to March, on account
of increased consumption of light and
a decrease in coal used for pumping,
it being, necessary during the summer
months to pump into tank at Least
twice daily.

Ition the investment of the town in The
