The town has a note for falling due in the latter part of the current year, which, according to the advice of this Bureau, could not be renewed without an enabling act from the Legislature, although the town had probably succeeded in renewing this loan from time to time without such legisla tion. The town has also had outstanding for many years a demand note for definite provision for paying which the town authorities were advised should be. Made. The Legislature was accordingly petitioned for authority to make specific provision for the refunding of these debts, and an act was passed, under suspension of the rules (chapter 654, Acts of 1911, approved July whereby the town is authorized to borrow and to issue notes or bonds therefor for each, payable one each year in the years 1912 to 1921, inclusive.Carlisle. - the town voted at its meeting March 6, to accept and adopt the provisions of Chapter 598 of the Acts of thereby petitioning the Bureau for an audit of the town accounts and the installation of an accounting system, and the work has been completed.Cheshire - The chairman of the board of selectmen called at this office in January for advice as to the best method of handling certain outstanding debts of the town on which interest had been paid for many years. These consisted chiefly of numerous demand notes issued for purposes which did not appear on any existing town records and which it was stated no one could be found in the town to satisfactorily explain. The chairman thought these debts should be refunded and interest payments stopped as soon as possible. He was advised that the proper course to pursue would be to petition the Legislature for authority to refund the same. This was subsequently done, and an act was passed and ap proved February 15 (chapter 42, Acts of 1911) authorizing the town to borrow payable in 10 payments. At the annual town meeting held shortly thereafter the town voted to do this, and notes for the amount were issued and certified by the Director of the Bureau on March 18.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
