A balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1950.
The State Accountants have complied with statutes and audit- · ed the Town books for the year ending December 31, 1949. They are expected in the near future to audit the Town's accounts for 1950.
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,
GEORGE C. NAPIER, Town Accountant
