Office of the Town Clerk
It was very evident in this office that the economy was slowing down as early as June. That is when we realized the income from motor vehicle registrations was falling off by an astounding $3,000 to $4,000 a month, resulting in a total $47,112 less than last year. Non-registration of multiple vehicles and more expensive and gas-guzzling four-wheel drives appear to be the reason.
The remainder of the revenue taken in by the office remained substantially the same. The following is a breakdown of the revenues turned over to the Treasurer during 2008.
Motor Vehicle Registrations $ 375,919.83
Of this, $331 was refunded to a customer due to non-use of decals
Dog Licenses (521) $ 3,433.50
Of this, $1,115.00 paid to Department of Agriculture for animal control per RSA 466:4
Vital Statistics Abstracts $ 4,168.00
Turned over to the State of New Hampshire
Municipal Agent Fees, Vital Records & UCC’s $ 12,239.30
Boat Registrations $ 972.37
Dog Fines $ 125.00
Bad Check Collection Fees $ 75.00
Requests for Voter Checklist $ 91.50
Filing Fees $ 13.00
TOTAL Turned Over to Treasurer $ 397,037.50
Respectfully submitted,
Sheila M. Beauchemin
Town Clerk
