The State Accountants have compiled with statutes and audited the Town books for the year ending December 31, 1950. They are expected in the near future to audit the Town's accounts for 1951.
May I express my thanks for the co-operation accorded to me by your Board, as well as by each Town Department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
