The classification book consists of loose-leaf forms with printed headings covering the chief sources from which revenue is received and the objects for which money is ex- pended, arranged in functional order and placed in a binder provided for the purpose, thus forming the principal source of detailed information regarding the receipts and disburse- ments of the town. This book is designed to bring the costs of each particular function or service together, so that by knowing the costs and intelligently comparing them with the service given, the taxpayer may judge of the efficiency or in- efficiency of the administrative officers.
On the schedules of bills payable, each department lists all bills approved for payment, and forwards them, accom- panied by the original bills, to the accounting officer. From these the treasury warrants are prepared.
On the treasury warrants are listed the bills of the several departments, and are submitted to the selectmen, to- gether with the bills, for their approval; the bills first having been checked by the accounting officer and compared with the several appropriation accounts to which they are charge-

able. The selectmen having signed the warrant, it is passed to the treasurer as his authority for payment.
Schedules of collector's payments and departmental pay- ments to the treasurer are especially designed forms for the reporting of payments, enabling the accounting officer to classify properly the receipts.
Schedules of tax abatements allowed and motor vehicle excise tax abatements are for the use of the assessors in re- porting abatements to the accounting officer so that the ledger will show in the collector's accounts the exact amount of out- standing taxes.
Voucher folders are for the purpose of securing uniform- ity in the filing of bills.
General and school department pay-rolls are designed for the purpose of securing uniformity in the pay-rolls of all de- partments.
Monthly statements are used by the accounting officer in notifying each department of the warrants drawn against its appropriation and the balance subject to draft.
The schedules of bills receivable are sheets for the use of all departments in listing all bills due the town for services rendered and materials furnished, and are forwarded to the accounting officer for the proper entries and commitment for collection.
Some of the accounts set up are: Revenue; Estimated Receipts; Taxes, both poll and property; Public Welfare Dept. Accounts Receivable; Overlay accounts; Overlay Re- serve Fund (surplus) ; Revenue Loans; Departmental Revenue ; Trust and Investment Funds.
For the cooperation received from the several town of- ficials during the progress of the audit and the installation of the system, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
