 Selectrnan William J. Johnson hal closed the town books for the hsca year ending August IS, and has com pleted list of the expenses of tht town. There has been a total of ap proximately S3,000 less spent thi, year than was estimated in the report Tax Collector w. J. Hemenway re. ports that practically all of the out. standing taxes have been returned and a sum close to 3s7.ooo has beer turned in. There Is no surplus left ir the bank however, because the schoo board has overdrawn It's account about S4o00. Almost every Item in the estimated expenses of the year wa. cut down with the exception of tha, of the town officers. This item was estimated to reach $500 in last year $ report but 1t has been found that it totalled $500 more, making the item sl,40o. This was due to the extra salary which had to be paid Tax Col lector Hemenway, as he had not re- ceived all of his pay for last years services.
 The following is list of the esti- mated expenses of the town for the year ending 1921-1s22 with the actual amounts which have been spent:
