CITY AUDITOR
I examined the cash account kept by the city clerk, of all moneys received by him as fees or otherwise (except dog licenses), during the year ending Dec. 15, 1900, and found the same correct. Of the total amount, $588.72 col- lected by him, the sum of $487.52 has been paid to the city treasurer and a receipt taken therefor.
I examined the cash account kept by the city messen- ger as agent for rental of City Hall, of all moneys received by him during the year ending Dec. 15, 1900, and found the same correct. The total amount collected by him has been paid to the city treasurer and a receipt taken therefor.
I examined the books of the clerk of the overseers of the poor, and found that the bills as approved by the over- seers of the poor correspond with the payments made by the city treasurer.
I examined all bills passed by the committee on ac- counts as presented weekly and monthly, and found the same correctly cast, properly approved, and actually placed upon the books.
The books of the city treasurer show a decrease of the city debt during the year ending Dec. 15, 1900, of $2689.88.
The overdraft for the year is $5,483.50.
Very respectfully, WILLIAM H. WELCH,
City Auditor.
