Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the Town of Hyde Park: With Reports of the Selectmen and Other Town Officers, for the Year Ending January 31st, 1877 In presenting to the town their annual report, the Selectmen would state that they have endeavored to conduct the financial affairs of the town in an economical manner, in accordance with the plainly expressed desire of the citizens at the annual appropriation meeting; and although in some instances they have been compelled to overdraw certain appropriations, in the main, it will be seen that the expenditures under their immediate control have come within the limits of the appropriations. There was appropriated for highways, $4,000; expended, $3,527.32; balance unexpended, $472.68. For incidentals, $5,000; expended, $6,478.69; excess of expenditure, $1,478.69. It will be remembered that at the annual appropriation meeting the Selectmen asked for $7,000 for incidentals; this amount was the result of careful estimates of known expenditures to be incurred during the year. By referring to the incidental report, it will be seen that the six items of insurance, street lighting, rent of town offices, collectors salary, printing and gas amount to over $5,000; and the Selectmen being fully aware that the above items of expense must be provided for, felt fully justified in their request for $7,000. For poor, $3,500; expended, $2,564.32; balance unexpended, $935.68. Police, $1,500;expended, $1,468.60; balance unexpended. $31.40.
