Auditors' Report
We, the undersigned, duly elected Auditors of the Town of Attleborough, respectfully report that we have examined the books and reports of the Water Com- missioners, Water Registrar, Commissioners of the Sinking Funds, Tax Collectors, School Committee, Town Treasurer, Overseers of the Poor, Trustees of the Public Library, Park Commissioners and Selectmen, and have found them correct.
Their books and reports agree with the books of the Town Treasurer.
The Town Treasurer's books and report agree with the Selectmen's orders and also with the amounts of funds received from the Collectors of Taxes, Water Registrar, and from other sundry sources.
We are pleased to report that we find a marked im- provement in the books and reports of the several de- partments, and we believe that in one or two instances there is room for further improvement. We would sug- gest to those having charge of the books and reports of the different departments, that they hand in their re- ports for audit as soon after the close of the year as pos- sible, and in this way, assist the auditors in making as early a report as possible.
We would further suggest that each appropriation made by the Town stand on its own merit, that no bills not strictly belonging to such appropriation be charged to it.
As in the payment of nearly all bills the Town Treas- urer must depend on the approval of such bills by the Selectmen, we would recommend that the Selectmen approve no bills that do not strictly belong to the appro- priation to which they should be charged.
