Braintree, January 20, 1896.
Auditors' Report.
We, the undersigned, Auditors for 1895, have thoroughly examined the accounts and securities of each and every financial department of the Town for said year, and as presented (al- though some not classified in accordance with vote of the Town) with much labor, proved said accounts and securities with such vouchers attached practically correct.
We recommend that in some of the departments a radical improvement should be adopted at once from the existing method of keeping the financial business of the Town and at the annual examinations. All documents " up to date."
