Upon e:aminping the books we found in
setibed thereon only eight lots leased, whereas
m we are informed that sixteen or seventeen lots
are occupied by persons a portion of whom do
n-not pay any rent to the town. We would ask the
d Council AO taketaimediate action in-this mat
)n ter and apply a remedy to the evil. We have
also found as per statement of the Treasurer
to taken from the book of registered claims that an
amount of 8i2013 '0 :4s registered and outstand
ing against the town, but tl.is is not the only
b- a.mount due a.s there.ardiothesr claims approved
that have not yet been registered. We would
a also ask the Council to adopt a law forcing the
he registry of all claims within a certain specified
time in order to enable the town to find out its
liabilities. We attempted to report at this
ad meeting on the situation of the Collector's of
fice, but after laboring several days we conclu
ded it not safe to hasten the same, as it is a dif
or ficult matter to find all the necessary items to
form a correct report, no records being kept
* outside of the tax rolls. We ask the Council
m to grant us further time.
Respectfully submitted.
