Gentlemen :- I have the honor to submit herewith a state- ment of the receipts and expenditures of the City of Melrose, beginning on the first day of January, 1912, and ending of the financial year on the thirty-first day of December, 1912, with a detailed statement of each department, a statement of assets and liabilities, a table showing the funded debt, the dates on which the notes and bonds are payable, together with a schedule of the City property.
In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 322, Acts of 1904, I have examined the several trust funds, under the control of the trustees of the public library, and find proper vouchers for, and bank books showing balances as reported by them on pages 176 to 177 of their report.
