TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Voters of Milford:
Herewith I submit my annual report of the financial transactions of the Town of Milford for the year end- ing December 31, 1931. Included is a detailed report on the receipts on all sources of income, the appropria- tions and expenditures of each department and account ; also a detailed summary of the Net Funded Debt of the town and the Balance Sheet.
During the past year, $10,684.66 were added to the Excess and Deficiency account bringing the total of Surplus Revenue to the substantial sum of $178,426.35. This amount will become available as the tax incomes improve, but because of the slowness of tax payments, no part of this can be used during the coming year.
No accounts have been overdrawn but there are a few unpaid bills for which appropriations must be asked for and I wish to warn all departments that this is a bad practice and should be carefully planned against.
I wish to thank all departments for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL J. HANNIGAN, Town Accountant.
