AUDITOR'S REPORT
Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Middleton :
This is to certify that I have examined all departments having to do with the expenditures of moneys ; have audited the books and accounts, all vouchers on which money has been paid by the Town Treasurer for the year ending December 31, 1917 and find them to be correct.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK B. TYLER, Town Auditor.
FLINT PUBLIC LIBRARY
The following report is from February 1, 1916 to January 1, 1917.
On account of all Town accounts being closed January 1, each year in compliance with State requirements, the Trustees voted to close the library accounts January 1, instead of Feb- ruary 1, as has been the former custom.
Consequently the report for the past year is for only eleven months.

B. F. Emerson Fund
Trustee's Report
We wish to submit the following report with the belief that it represents the true condition of the Fund as of Dec. 31, 1916, and the income for the twelve months ended as of that date.
There are still one or two items relating to the early period which may require adjustment later. They however are not of such amount as to materially affect the following figures.

make the Savings Bank deposits at that time an even $1,600 169 66
