In concluding, the Auditor begs leave to mention one or two thoughts that have passed through his mind, while performing the duties assigned him.


The Town accounts being recorded in one Order-book, rendered the labor. of analyzing the several accounts by no means a light one ; and he has heard with pleasure that it is in contemplation to adopt a more systematic manner of keeping the books. In his opinion, the Town's business transactions should be recorded in so clear and distinct a manner, that a stranger could, if necessity required, make out a full report from the


11


books themselves. This he frankly acknowledges he could not do, but has been obliged to make many inquiries, not from any fault of those who. kept the books, but because they did not have the requisite books to keep.


If it is not thought expedient to keep the books by double entry, let there be added to the Order-book a Ledger, where all transactions can be posted alphabetically, under their respective heads.

To remedy this deficiency, your Auditor has procured receipts from the proper persons, covering the amounts referred to-and presents them with this report, with the recommendation that they be either copied or pasted in the " Order Book" by the present Board of Selectmen.


A reference to the transactions of the Overseers of the Poor, shows that the last year's Board followed in the steps of their predecessors, by pay- ing into the Treasury, a portion of the monies as they accrued from sales on the Poor Farm to be drawn out again in a few days for the purchase of other articles for the farm by orders from the Selectmen. This is, at best, taking much pains with no perceptible gain ; imposing extra service upon the Selectmen, the Overseers, the Treasurer-and, I may add, the Auditor. It might be characterized, not improperly, as a shiftless way of doing the business.


The Assessors have also followed the custom of former Boards by adding to the grant for roads the amount of overlayings resulting from making a separate tax, and ordering the same to be expended.


There are no records to show that the town appropriated any more than their grant of 300 for repair of roads. It being clear to your Auditor . that Assessors have no more right to apportion and order to be expended the highway, overlayings, than they have to control in a like manner the proportional overlayings of the School grant, the Poor grant, or any other, he has not included said highway overlayings in his report of road ex- penses.


It is respectfully suggested that each Officer, or Board, should keep a permanent record of their several transactions, not only as vouchers of their own fidelity, but as checks and counter-checks to prevent overdraw- ings from special grants, and to preserve a general equilibrium of the town's financial affairs.


The business transactions of each Board, or Officer, should be kept distinct from every other, and great care should be exercised to have the records in a complete and accurate form, and arranged in the best manner for reference.
