REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
I am pleased to submit the following statement of all receipts and expenditures of the Town of Duxbury for the financial year ending December 31, 1947, in accord- ance with Chapter 41, Section 61, General Laws.
An increase in the number of bills paid by the town, the requirements of the newly established retirement system, and State participation in Veterans' Benefits, have placed an unusually heavy burden on this office. Therefore, I am taking the liberty of submitting an ab- breviated form of report, and hope that it will meet with general approval.
This abbreviated form is arranged in accordance with the classifications prescribed by the Director of Accounts and is actually a recapitulation of the totals in the classi- fication book which is subject to State audit, and which is, of course, open to inspection by the public at all rea- sonable hours.
It is my hope that the tax payers will consider this substantially shorter form of report a desirable economy.

Town Accountant.
