Maria graduated from Hood College, Frederick, Maryland with a major in political science. This year Orleans had three pieces of legislation enacted by the Massachusetts Legislature. Chatham and Orleans jointly submitted legislation on Nauset Beach. An ease- ment was given to the Department of Environmental Man- agement to install a rail trail in the old railroad right-of- way and a septage betterment procedure was approved. The septic betterment legislation allows the town to ap- prove a By-law that would allow funding of septic up- grades for residents that may not otherwise be able to fund such an expense. In December he drainage remediation bids were re- ceived and the work should be completed in the spring of 1993. I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen for its sup- port and all the committee, commission and board mem- bers for their many hours of dedicated service. A special thanks to department managers, their employees and my staff for all that we accomplished working together to pro- vide the various programs and services that make Or- leans a much desired place to work and live. Respectfully submitted, Nancymarie Schwinn, Town Executive TOWN TREASURER/COLLECTOR I hereby submit my annual report for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1992. Once again, I want to thank all he taxpayers for their prompt payments. We are very blessed in Orleans. 14 TOWN TREASURER $ 1,985,769.81 Fiscal 1992 25,172,222.60 Balance July 1, 1991 935,743.57 Receipts July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 $28,093,735.98 invested $25,157,055.84 2,239,572.31 Disbursements July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 697,107.83 Invested $28,093,735.98 Cash on Hand $145,475.35 interest earned during Fiscal Year 1992 on investments TRUST FUND ACCOUNTS_ Snow Library Trust Fund 4,500.00 David Snow Fund 500.00 Consisting of: Jonathan W.Young Fund 200.00 William H.
