AUDITORS' REPORT.
February 7th, 1902.
We have examined the books of the Treasurer, Selectmen, Water Commissioners, Registrar, Commis- sioner of Sinking Funds, Tax Collectors, School Com- mittee, Overseers of the Poor, Trustees of the Public Library, and find them correct. Their reports and books agree with the books of the Town Treasurer.
