 Students, soldiers, firemen, indi- gent, sick and infirm are exempt from payment of the tax. Between time of enumeration and collection there are removals from town, deaths, and residents claiming citizenship else where and paying tax there, which reduces slightly the amount the town would receive. So far as is known, and it has been possible to do it, the tax has been collected in full each year from each male resident. The portion going to the state each year for the support of the national guard has been as follows: 1913, $56l; 1912, $553; 1911, $599; 1910, .$740. The amount not annually called for by the state remains in the town treasury.
