It is much to be regretted that no such valuation has of late been taken. 64 65 The Auditors find that the Treasurer for 1854-5, in his annual settle- that $140, added to $9,535.29, the sum previously paid, does not make ment with the Selectmen, March 30, 1855, credits the Collector for 1854 $9,655.51 (the amount given in "partial settlement"), but $19.78 for having paid into the treasury the sum of $9,535.29. The next more. official paper that we find touching this point is the following:— In looking through the books kept by the Selectmen and Treasurer, for some explanation of the preceding,we find the following entries; viz., "We have examined the tax-list committed to Andrew Wellington as in the "Record of all Accounts passed by the Selectmen, and Orders Collector for the year 1854, and other papers connected therewith, and v., issued," near the close of entries for the year 1855-6, "An Order to submit the following partial— pay Andrew Wellington, for collecting Taxes in 1854, $140." In the • Treasurer's Record, March 1, 1856, is the following entry: "To cash "Report. paid Andrew Wellington,$159.78." This is the only payment to Andrew Wellington recorded on the Treasurer's books since 1854; and the order "The list committed amounted to $12,414.68; and this is accounted above referred to is the only one issued to him for the same time. It for in the following manner; viz.,— would seem, therefore, that an order was given to A. W. for $140, for which he received $159.78; which sum appears as a single entry on the Amount paid County Treasurer $1,160.27 discounted for prompt payment . . 1,084.52 Treasurer s books. 51 „ abated by the Assessors 448.38 Underneath the footing-up of the Selectmen's record of orders granted paid to Town Treasurers 9 655.51 " for the year 1855-6 is pencilled, apparently in the handwriting of the Leaving one uncollected tax of 66.00 Secretary of the Board,— "A.Wellington,overpaid $19.78." In the Report of the Auditor for 1856, who had also served as Trea- Making the sum as above stated $12,414.68 surer the preceding year, on page 4 is this: "Paid Andrew Wellington, ��All of which is submitted by Collector for 1854, $140." (This is the exact sum which the Col- lector for 1854 was to receive for his services) On page 15 of the same JOEL VILES, report is this: "Paid Andrew Wellington balance due as Collector, '54, ISAAC N. DATION Selectmen of w ALONZO GODDARD Lexington. $19.78." We are told by the Collector for 1854, that the one uncol- LExixaTON, March 1,1856." , lected tax of $66" (against Sidney Homer), is uncollected still. These are all the items the Auditors find touching this account; which are sufficient to show there is some error: but whether the town overpaid, by the sum of $19.78, the Collector of 1854 for his services, or whether The next and last entry touching this collectorship is found in the Trea- he overpaid the town$74 for the tax-list committed to him,or whether there is some other interpretation of the matter, we leave for those who are surer's Records, March 3, 1856, as follows; viz., "By cash received of more conversant with all the circumstances to explain to the town. Andrew Wellington, Collector for 1854, $140." From this it appears that Mr.A.Wellington owed the treasury,on the first day of March, 1856, an uncollected tax, amounting to $66; that, on the third day of March, 1856, he paid into the treasury $140; from which deduct the $66, and a balance of $74 was then, and is now, due Andrew Wellington. RATE OF TAXATION. Whether or not there is a confusion of dates, we cannot say: but this is certain,that from the time of the Selectmen's settlement with the Trea- 1854 property was taxed TVG of one-per cent, = $6.60 on $1,000. surer,March 30, 1855,to the present time,there is but one payment from 18556 6 - 6.60 1 000. 1f 7f 77 T o 0 7/ /, 7) )) 71 7 the Collector for 1854 recorded on the Treasurer's books; and that is for 1856 7 8 = 7.80 1 000. $140, March 3, 1856. . .� - 7roU » » > 1857 is 5, Tuu ,, „ „ „ = 7.20 „ 1,000. As there is no evidence in the hands of the Auditors to show that a farthing had been paid into the treasury, by Collector for 1854, from the time of Selectmen's settlement with the Treasurer, March 30, 1855, to the Selectmen's partial settlement with Collector for 1854,March 1,1856, they are at a loss to know when or to whom this $120.22 was paid,which is recognized in said "partial settlement." But on the supposition (if Auditors are allowed to suppose) that the $140 paid into the treasury, March 3, 1856, was really paid on March 1 (two days earlier), or the Collector's"partial settlement" with the Select- men was,in fact,two days later,then we have another difficulty; which is, I .,a• 66 67 TOWN DEBT.
