AUDITOR'S REPORT
This is to certify that I have carefully examined the books of the Treasurer and find them correct.
I have examined the books of the Collector of Taxes for the years 1928 and 1929 and found the amounts col- lected and paid the Treasurer and the amount uncollected agree with the statement of the 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, ALICE E. SIMMONS, Town Auditor.
