IN COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, February 11, 1896.
TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF SOMERVILLE :-
The Committee on Finance report that in compliance with Section 10, of Chapter 4, of the revised ordinances, they have, in conjunction with the Auditor, examined and audited the books and accounts of the Treasurer and Collector of Taxes for the year ending December, 31, 1895, and in the manner prescribed by said section.
The said books and accounts were carefully compared with the books, records, accounts, papers, vouchers and documents of the Auditor, Treasurer, City Clerk, and the several committees, boards and officers of the city, and with the certificates and statement transmitted by the City Clerk, as provided in Section 5 of said chapter.
The committee also carefully verified the cash balance at the close of busi- ness, February 11, 1896, as shown by the books and accounts of the Treasurer, such verification having been made by an actual count of the cash on hand and statements from the banks in which the funds of the city were deposited.
The committee take pleasure in reporting, as the result of their examination, that no error or discrepancy was discovered in the accounts and records of the Treasurer and Collector, and expressing their cordial approval of the remarkably neat, methodical and accurate manner in which he has kept the books and ac- counts of his department, as well as the general efficiency displayed by him in the performance of his important and arduous official duties, and recommend that his report be accepted, and printed in the annual reports of 1895.
