From the imperfect nature of the returns in this State, as well as in others, it is difficult to ascertain the exact amount of receipts and expenditures in the several counties and towns. Mr. Greenleaf, in his valuable statistical work, entitled- a "Survey of the State of Maine," has formed, in the shape of tables, an estimate of the County receipts and expenditures of that State for seven years in succession. These tables are curious and valuable, as showing not only the amount, but the objects of the expenditures. The tables for Cumberland County, which are here selected, will give a general idea of the subject. ESTIMATE of RECEIPTS into the COUNTY TREASURY of Cumberland County, exclusive of Direct Taxes.
