AUDITOR'S REPORT.
The Auditors of the Town of Weymouth for the year 1904 report that in compliance with the Public Statutes of Massachu- setts (Chap. 25, Sec. 79 Revised Edition, 1902) they have examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer of the Town of Weymouth, Treasurer of the Water Commissioners, Treasurer of the Water Loan and Sinking Fund Commissioners, Treasurer of the High School Building Sinking Fund Commissioners, Treasurer of the Beal's Park Fund, and Treasurer of the Tufts Library Fund and find proper vouchers filed for all payments made.
We have also examined under the provisions of Chap. 322, Sec. 1, Acts of 1904, (an Act to provide for the auditing of certain Trust Funds and accounts) the books and accounts of the trustees of the Fogg Library Fund, James L. Bates, Reference Room at Fogg Library, Pratt School Fund, Tufts Cemetery Fund, Tufts Lecture Fund, and Tufts Sidewalk Fund, and find the investments of a satisfactory character.
In our examination of the cash book of the Town Treasurer and the register kept by the Town Accountant we find that both agree as to the amount of orders paid during the year, and also as to balance of 1904 orders unpaid Jan. 1st, 1905.
Balance of 1903 orders unpaid Jan. 1, 1904 . $10,777 99
