AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
I hereby certify that I have examined the accounts of the Treasurer and find them correct and the balance in his hands to agree with the report submitted. I have approved vouchers for all bills paid and find them to agree with the Treasurer's war- rants, and in my opinion, the foregoing balance sheet represents a true financial condition of the Town of Ipswich.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
held by the Merchants National Bank of Boston. This amount is the same as was unpaid on temporary loans in 1936.
Cash on hand on closing the books on December 31, 1937 was $25,760.26.
Attention is called to the increase in the amount of money handled by this department each year. During the year of 1936 the sum of $1,135,562.86 and in 1937 $900,424.97 went through the books.
I wish to record my appreciation of the fine spirit of co- operation of Kennard V. Damon who assumed the duties of Auditor and Accountant in March. Mr. Damon was new to the duties of his office which are many, and his splendid hand- ling of these duties particularly as they are interwoven with the Treasurer and Collector's Department has added to the conduct of my work during the year.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES D. REILLY, Treasurer and Collector.
