REPORT OF AUDITOR


February 11, 1922.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Douglas, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I have examined the Books and Accounts of the Town Treas- urer, Tax Collector, Overseer of Poor and Agent of Devise of Moses Wallis for the year 1921 and find them to be correct.


The cash on hand at the close of the year is as follows:


Town Treasurer .


$4,222 02


Treasurer Water Dept. 782 46


Agent of Devise Moses Wallis 2,727 13


These balances are found to agree with deposits in various banks as per statements of said banks as of December 31, 1921, plus bond coupons of $2.12 in hands of Town Treasurer.


The uncollected taxes on December 31, 1921 was $467.04 which agrees with the Tax Collector's books.


The vouchers for Cash payments have been verified with the charges in the cash books and the securities in possession of the Agent of Devise of Moses Wallis have been examined and found to be as called for in his report.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR T. BYRNES.


For Wm. Franklin Hall, C. P. A.

Report of the Water Commissioners.


July last, water bonds Nos. 15 and 16 were paid, and Nos. 17 and 18 will be paid the coming July. The total issue was 42 bonds of $1000 each.


It has been the custom of our Water Works to read the Meters on the 31st of December each year, to determine the total amount of water used during the past year, but since the state has com- pelled the towns to close their yearly accounts on January 1st it has made it impossible to read the meters, make the bills and collect the same before the Town Treasurer was obliged to close his ac- counts, therefore we have decided to change the date of the Meter reading to April 1st of each year. Water takers are allowed 25,- 000 gallons for $10.00 a year, as the change in date of the reading of the meters this year will add one-fourth making a year and a quarter this reading, you will be entitled to one-fourth more water, or 31,250 gallons at one-fourth more of the minimum charge $10.00 per year, making $12.50 for the year and a quarter.
