AUDITOR'S REPORT
This is to certify that I have carefully examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer, and found them correct.
I have examined and compared the books of the Col- lector of Taxes for the years 1922, 1923 and 1924, and found the amounts collected and paid the Treasurer, and the amounts uncollected agree with the statements of the Town Treasurer.
I have examined the books and compared the vouchers of the Water Department, Fire Department, School Committee and Public Library, and find they agree with the payments of the Treasurer.
Respectfully, BERTHA B. AVERILL, Town Auditor.
