commitments were verified and compared with the assessors' warrants for their collection.
The collector's cash books were footed and the recorded col- lections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's and the accountant's books. The record- ed abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, and the outstanding taxes and assessments were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing notices to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies thereto indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.
It was noted that no settlement of the unapportioned sewer assessments of 1926 and prior years has been secured.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts on account of licenses, permits, recording fees, etc., were examined and checked in detail, the payments to the treasurer being compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
The collections on account of sporting and dog licenses issued were verified and compared with the recorded payments to the State, county, and town.
The records of departmental cash collections by the sealer of weights and measures and inspector of buildings, as well as by the fire, health, sewer, school, library, cemetery, and all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked.
The records of water charges were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved with the several ledger accounts.
The securities and savings bank books representing the invest- ments of the Punchard Free School, Memorial Hall Library, and John Cornell Wood and Coal Funds in the custody of the several trustees, were examined and listed. The income and other re- ceipts were verified and the disbursements were proved. The cash balances were verified with statements furnished by the banks.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials re- quired by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.

Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water ac- counts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the various trust funds.
For the cooperation and assistance rendered by all the town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
