In hands of Sinking Fund Commissioners and Special Trustees.

THE LAW. Chapter 322.
An act to provide for the auditing of certain trust funds and accounts. Be it enacted, etc., as follows:
Section 1. It shall be the duty of city and town auditors at least once every year, and so much oftener as they may deem it necessary, to audit the accounts of the trustees of any property, the principal or income of which, in whole or in part, was bequeathed or given in trust for the benefit of the city or town or any part thereof, or for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city or town or any part thereof, and to examine and estimate the funds, securities and evidences of property held by such trustees. City and town auditors shall include in their annual reports a report of such auditing and investigation; and if they discover any fraud or irregularity they shall im- mediately report the same to the mayor and treasurer of the city or to the selectmen and treasurer of the town.
Section 2. It shall be the duty of the trustees designated in section one hereof to give city and town auditors free access to their accounts, funds, securities and evidences of property; and any such trustee who re- fuses to exhibit his trust account, funds, securities and evidences aforesaid shall be subject to a fine of not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars.
Section 3. This act shall be construed as applying only to property held in trust for public uses. (Approved May 9, 1904).
Trust funds in which the City of Newburyport and its inhabitants are interested may be divided into two classes, viz: funds bequeathed or given direct to the city, and funds given to special trustees, the income of which is used for the benefit of any of its inhabitants.
The first class is invested by the Sinking Fund Commissioners as trus- tees under ordinance, and the income turned over to the city.
The second class is invested by special trustees appointed by the donor, and such boards fill their own vacancies. It would seem that the city had assumed no responsibility for such funds, and it may be a question if they come under the preceding law, but such trustees have been requested to allow examination of said funds and accounts.
Trust funds held by Sinking Fund Commissioners have been verified and the income traced to its proper accounts.
The Atkinson fund and Atwood fund, both held by special trustees, have been audited and securities found to agree with the treasurer's report.
Putnam fund books have been audited and securities examined and found to agree with the treasurer's annual report.
Peabody and Public Library Funds. While the books have not been inspected, income has been verified, vouchers checked up and principal accounted for.
The Wheelwright fund. The accounts of the treasurer for the year
