AUDITOR'S REPORT.


I have examined the accounts of the Assessors, Selectmen, Tax Collector, and Treasurer for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1904, and find them all correct with the exception that I find there is $1.00 due from the town on account of bills paid by Order No. 1332, $10.64, which should have been for $11.64. Order No. 1216, $70.95, out- standing at date of last report was reported to the Selectmen as hav- ing been lost or destroyed by accident and they drew Order No. 1325 for $70.95 to pay the bill and have stopped payment on No. 1216. Order No. 16SI, $2.65, is supposed to have been lost with the voucher.


The statement below is the amount of orders drawn, paid, and outstanding as shown by the books.
