The Treasurer for the Town Manchester for the year 1824 Respectfully asks leave to make the following Report

That there appears to be a balance due from John Young Collector for the year 1819

The account with Mr. Young also shews payments made to the treasurer exclusive of Town Orders amounting to . .

which it is believed has never been accounted for by the treasurer

11.71

35.68

32.21

56.00

making 88.21

which remains in the hands of the Treasurer for that year unaccounted for

The account with John Dwinel collector for the year 1821 shews a balance due from him of - 7.01 but it also appears

from a certificate in the hands of the Treasurer that seven dollars and three cents in cash was paid by him and not credited which if credited would nearly balance the account

said sum of 7.03 is therefor in the hands of the Treasurer for that year unaccounted for

Peter Young Collector for the year 1822 has paid in Orders the sum of 465.77 and five Dollars in cash making 470.77 the amount of Town taxes that year was 592.59 that the sum of 121.82 remains due from him

SO

Israel Webster Collector for the year 1823 has paid in Orders the sum of 362.46 and the amount of Town Taxes that year was 602.46 so that a balance is due from him of

240.00 in that years list

Israel Webster Collector for the year 1824 has made no payments towards that years tax and the whole sum amounting to 575.60 is this day due from him

which is in the hands of the present treasurer which will make

24.34

1104.39

which is now to the Town

I have not the means of Knowing precisely the amount oweing by the Town but am inclined to think that if the above accounts are seasonable settled and the balance promptly paid the Town will be enabled to pay all the demands existing against it and to have a considerable balance in the Treasury but in order to effect this purpose two things appear to me to be necessary

First Chose a suitable Committee to settle with all former Treasurers

Second instruct the Treasurer for the ensuing year to call upon all delinquent collectors to settle up their Lists

thes two propositions if completely carried into effect will soon remidy a growing evil and place the fiscal concerns of the town in its proper state

During the last year I have received the interest on the note given by Jonas Harvey and others for Town land up to January 3 1825 - amounting to 39.86 and also interest on a part of that sum on account of its not having been paid in due season 40 cents I have also recd of Collector Dwinel a balance of 1.76 and of Peter Young 5 Dollars making in all 47.02 and have paid the Selectmens Order to James. S. Mace for teaching school in District No 1 . .

leaving a balance in my hands of which is subject to Order
