It will he noticed that an unusually large amount o£m6ney remains in the hands of the Treasurer, which would be applied to paying some of the Town notes were it not for thc fact that a payment on the new school house must be made in a few days, which will materially reduce the cash on hand. This payment will probably be made before the annual meeting is held. AMOS D. CARLETOh;, ) LOUIS WEIL, ~ Auditors. WM. FOSTER, NeaTh At~vovmt, Feb. 14, 1872. REPORT OF FII~ANCE COMM'ITTEE.
