APPROVAL OF TREASURER'S REPORT.


In Committee on Finance, February 8, 1906.


To the Board of Aldermen of Somerville :-


The committee on finance, to which was referred the report of the treasurer and collector of taxes for the year 1905, reports that, in con- junction with the auditor, it has examined and audited the books and accounts of the treasurer and collector of taxes for the year ending December 31, 1905, and in the manner prescribed by section 7 of chapter 4 of the Revised Ordinances of 1900.


A careful comparison has been made with the books of the city auditor and with financial statements received from the several com- mittees, boards, and officers of the city accountable for the use of the city funds.


The cash account has been verified by actual count of the cash on hand, and the balances shown to be in the banks of deposit have been confirmed by the officials of the banks.


The committee reports that no errors were discovered in the ac- counts and books of the treasurer and collector, and recommends that his report be accepted and printed in the annual reports of 1905.
