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 deem it necessary, to audit the ac- counts 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 evidence of property held ly such trustees. City and town auditors shall include in their annual repor. a report of such auditing and investigation; and if they discover any fraud or irregularity they shall immediately report the same to the Mayor and Treasurer of the city or to the Selectmen or 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 evidence of property; and any such trustee who re- fuses to exhibit his trust accounts, 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 chall be construed as applying 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 benefits of any of its inhabitants.
The first class is invested by the Trustees of the Newburyport Trust Funds under Chapter 64, Acts of 1917, and the income turned over to the city.
98
ANNUAL REPORT
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 Trust Fund Commissioners have been verified and the income traced to its proper accounts.
The Atkinson fund, held by special trustees, no report filed.
Peabody and Public Library Building Funds. Income has been verified, vouchers checked up and principal accounted for.
The Wheelwright Fund. The accounts of the Treasurer for the year ending Oct. 31, 1930, have been audited and found correct; also thesecurities have been counted and found to agree with the treasurer's accounts.
The following is a statement of the conditions of said funds:
