<br />Making a total as far as ascertained, . $ 1,638.24
<br />* Here is an error of $4.00. Mr. Chapman's bill amounts to $284.92. The
<br />Overseers paid him as per receipt, $282.92, and have charged the Town with
<br />$286.92. Hence they have received $4 too much, and are indebted $2 to Mr.
<br />Chapman and $2 to the Town.
<br />The Selectmen feel it due to themselves to say that they appointed the 27th of
<br />February to settle with the Overseers and Surveyors, but they neglected to
<br />present their accounts at the time, and so we could not examine them until the
<br />last hour of our official existence ; and in fact the bill in which the error is
<br />found was not handed in till the new Board was chosen, so that we had no
<br />opportunity to examine it.
