H. G. SANDERSON, Treasurer.
Sunderland, Feb. 14, 1913.
I have examined the accounts, evidence of disbursement and securities held by the treasurer of the cemetery association and believe the foregoing to be a correct representation of the financial condition of the association.
J. M. S. LEACH, Auditor.
Report of Inspector of Animals.
One general inspection of herds and barns was made during the 1912.
Total number of cattle found was 626; swine 392 ; sheep 14; There seems to be a steady falling off in the number of animals kept.
During the year 14 cows were quarantined on suspicion of hav- ing tuberculosis ; 13 of these were condemned and killed.
I have examined and stamped 216 carcasses of pork; I of beef; and 2 of mutton : All of which were free from contagious diseases.
There have been brought into the town from other states during the year 218 cattle.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. WILLIAMS,

B. N. FISH, Treasurer.
Sunderland Feb. 14, 1913.
I have examined the above accounts of the treasurer of the Sunderland Public Library and find them correct and all payments, properly vouched for. I also find the securities listed to be in his hands.
J. M. S. LEACH, Auditor.
Fire Warden's Report.
Seven forest fires have been extinguished the past year, only one of these started with people using permits, the other six start- ed from unknown causes. Seven permits have been given during the year. The damage to our wood-lands from these fires was very light as the area burned over was small.
Chestnut tree blight works very slowly in our wood lands, no sign of gypsy or brown tail moth have been found.
Respectfully submitted,
A. C. WARNER, Forest Warden.
