THE Auditors take pleasure in saying, that in the performance of their duties, which has occupied much time, they have received much assistance and many kind attentions from the Selectmen, Town Clerk, and Treasurer. The books and accounts have been kept with clearness and accuracy. The disbursements under the orders drawn by the Selectmen were made with regard to the best interests of the town. We believe they have faithfully performed their duty.


To Franklin Curtis, Esq., the Town Clerk, they are indebted for most of the statistics placed in the Appendix to this Report.


Their visit to and examination of the Alms House was very grati- fying. The establishment appears to be in good order, and well managed throughout ; and the inmates as contented and happy as could be expected from persons in their condition. The Superin- tendent and his wife are well adapted to the management of this institution, and are entitled to much approbation.
