REPORT OF TOWN CLERK 67
<br />first instance an advance premium which is followed by
<br />further payments after audits have been made by the In-
<br />surance company. In the event that the advance premium
<br />is more than the amount disclosed by the audit a refund is
<br />made to the Town. The original payment is, therefore,
<br />only an estimated figure and is subject to subsequent ad-
<br />justments for which reason it is deemed advisable to have
<br />this account separate from the other classes of insurance.

<br />This is a new account requested for the first time this year.
<br />Previously the expenditures for installing water services
<br />have been charged to the Water Maintenance Account.
<br />The Board of Selectmen have felt it advisable to establish
<br />the separate account so that the cost of services can be
<br />kept s3parate from the general Water Maintenance costs.

<br />$1,299.87 $2,250.00 $1,800.00
<br />The reason for the increased appropriation requested for
<br />1937 is due to the inclusion of an item for fence construc-
<br />tion $350.00 and road construction and repairs $600.00.
<br />The Appropriation Committee feels that the amount re-
<br />quested is excessive and has recommended the amount of
<br />$1,$00.00 against the requested amount of $2,250.00 and
<br />recommends that as much work be done as is possible with
<br />the money provided. During the year 1936 an amount of
<br />$1,211.14 was expended for Perpetual Care and it is pro-
<br />posed to expend approximately the same amount in 1937_
