 TOWN OF HOPKINTON, 
 From Starch 1, 1848, to Starch 2, 1849, 
 
 MILFORD PRESSG. VV, STAfcY, FP.INTER. 
 1849,
 
 THIS may certify that at a legal meeting of the inhabi- 
 ants of the Town of Hupkinton, held on the 20th Jay of 
 November, A. D. 134S, the following among other votes 
 were passed, viz : Voted, That the Expense's for the year 
 1S4S be published. 
 
 Voted, That a Committee of three be chosen to prepare 
 for printing the Expenses for the year 1S49, and cause the 
 same to be printed. Hiram Comee, Augustus Phipps, and 
 Silas Mirick were accordingly chosen as said Committee. 
 Copy Attest WILLARD WOODARD, 2d. Town Clerk. 
 
 In compliance with the above votes, we submit to the 
 inhabitants of Hopkinton, a Report of the disbursement? 
 and Receipts of the Treasurer from March 1, 1848, to 
 March 2, 1849, with schedules annexed from A. to L.; al- 
 so a statement of the condition of the Treasury March 1, 
 1849. 
 
 It may not be improper to state that the disbursements 
 appear uncommonly large, owing to changing the town 
 scrip from notes drawing 5 to 6 per cent, interest. We 
 have given detail as far as was consistent with economy 
 and the facilities at our command, and if any seeming in- 
 justice is done to any individual our excuse is no design to 
 do so.
