Finance
REPORT OF THE STATE AND TOWN AUDITORS
The work of the State Auditor in 1955 consisted, as usual, of a thorough check of the Town's financial records for the pre- ceding year, 1954, and the preparation of a statement of the Town's financial condition at the beginning of the year 1955.
The statutes provide that the "substance" of the State Auditor's report be published. In the Town Auditor's opinion, this substance is contained in the balance sheet of the Town pre- pared by the State Auditor, showing the condition of the Town as of December 31, 1954. A summarization of this Balance Sheet is published below.
The full Auditor's report is on file with the Town Clerk, and is available for the examination of any interested citizens of the Town.
