The auditors describe total school expenses for the year, broken down by the town's nine school districts, which at the time were operating with a mix of male and female teachers and supporting different numbers of pupils. Property and infrastructure expenses are also detailed, including street maintenance, the construction of a sea wall, the widening of Centre Street, engine maintenance, and the improvement of public burial grounds. The report concludes with a discussion of miscellaneous town outlays, such as the abatement of taxes, fees for town officers, and expenses related to the town's poor relief programs, including the operation of the almshouse. The book concludes with financial projections for the upcoming year and an estimate of the town's revenue streams, providing valuable insights into the economic and administrative operations of a mid-sized New England town in the antebellum era.
