Auditor's Report.
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus:
Having examined the accounts of several departments of the Town as the by-laws require, and finding them correct with proper vouchers for all payments made I submit the Annual Report to my fellow-citizens and trust it may meet their appre- ciation and approval. You will see that the deficiency has been largely increased the past year, owing, of course, to the large appropriations for the new school-house and for water exten- sions. There has certainly been a great advance made in the
collection of Taxes the past year which must be very gratifying to the citizens of the Town, although the commitment for the year 1910 was about $17,000 more than the commitment for the year 1909, yet the uncollected December 31, 1910, was about $11,000 less than it was December 31, 1909. I desire to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to the growth in size and

expense of the Annual Report and hope that some action may be taken at the coming Town Meeting, whereby the Auditor may be authorized to cut down a good deal of the detail in many of the departments, especially in the Overseers' Department and the account of the Saugus Home.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE PARSONS,
SAUGUS, February 12, 1910,
Auditor.
