Report of your Jown accountant
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Voters of Milford:
Herewith I submit my annual report of the financial trans- actions of the Town of Milford for the year ending December 31, 1947.
Included is a Detailed Report of the Receipts from all sources of Income, a Detailed Report of the Expenditures of each Department and Account, a Recapitulation and Estimate Table showing the Appropriation, Receipts and Transfers, Expendi- tures, and Balance December 31, 1947 and the estimated cost to run various departments as submitted by them for the coming year.
Included also is the usual Balance Sheet, a table showing the Salaries paid Town Officers, and also a Detailed Summary of the Net Funded or Fixed Debt of the Town.
Since there have been numerous inquiries regarding Blanket Insurance coverage, I have added an Insurance schedule to my report showing the complete coverage under our Blanket Insurance.
I wish to thank all the Departments for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael J. Hannigan, TOWN ACCOUNTANT.
