Wo fiud that the system of keeping the accounts ofthe town in the several departments is not such as iscommendable for accuracy or dispatch, which may be ac-counted for in part, as the town is unwilling to pay theSelectmen, Assessors and Overseers a sufficient salary forthe services which they are called upon to perform. Wefind by their bills that are on file, that they have charged
one hundred dollars more than the salary voted them,for extra services, but what those extra services werewe are unable to ascertain, as they give us no informa-tion by their bills.
