An estimate

Spring Point Township didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Interest on debt $1,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $319,000.
About “Other”.77% of Spring Point Township’s day-to-day spending ($234,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
