THE AUDITORS, having examined the accounts as presented by the several departments of the Town, herewith respectfully sub- mit their report. They desire, however, to suggest a change in the present system, which, if adopted, would, in their opinion, not only be an improvement for convenience, but would prove a pro- tection against loss, and prevent any department from over-running its appropriation.
They would recommend that one Auditor only be elected, he to devote one evening each month to the approving of bills presented against the Town, and no order to be drawn on the Treasurer or bill paid until such approval had been obtained. The Auditor should keep a proper set of books, showing accounts with each department and the business standing of the Town, and no de- partment be allowed to overdraw the amount of its appropriation. At the end of the year a few hours' work only would be necessary to make up a correct report.
By the present system some officials present no books, simply making a report, and what is due the Town or what the Town owes is gathered by inquiry of the several Town officers-and how correct that part of the report is the Auditors have no means of knowing. Certainly the accounts of a Town should be as carefully and correctly kept as those of an individual.
