THE Selectmen, to enable the citizens to judge of the
Expenditures of the Town, for the year ending with the
31st of March, have classified the disbursements, and
submit the following as the Expenses of the past year,
and the present condition of the Treasury.
SETTLEMENT WITH THE TREASURER.
LEXINGTON, MARCH 26, 1863.
The Selectmen have this day settled with Charles Nunn, Town
Treasurer for the past year, and find that he charges himself witli
receipts as follows :
Balance on hand, April 1, 1862, . . $ 2,458 59
Loans for Bounties, &c. . . 10,650 00
Receipts from Collector for 1861, • 864 21
44 " 441862, 14,800 89
" " the State for aid to soldier• s'
families, • 603 39
" " School Fund, 78 36
44 Hay -scales and other sources, 65 28
$ 29,520 72
And credits himself with the following dis-
bursements :
Paid on Town Orders, . . $ 18,573 44
Interest on Notes, . 892 84
On Notes taken up, . 2,500 00
State Tax, . . . . 3,636 00
County Tax, . 1,494 06
$ 27,096 34
Leaving a balance of . .
$ 2,424 38
The discrepancy between the Treasurer's account and the Selectmen's, arises
from the fact that orders drawn by the Selectmen are frequently not presented
to the Treasurer till some time after their date. Consequently, an order drawn
at or near the close of the fiscal year, may not be presented till after the com-
mencement of the next year.
