[Dec. 31
The Treasurer's Cash Account
The cash on hand, December 31, 1918, was verified by me by actual count, and the cash in the bank was verified by recon- ciliation of the outstanding checks with the book and bank statements, and was further verified by a letter received from the bank certifying to the amount to the credit of the Town of Saugus at the close of the business, December 31, 1918.
Taxes Collected
The accounts of the Collector were checked. The cash books were footed and the payments to the Treasurer verified and com- pared with the receipts as recorded by him on his books.
Trust Funds
I have compared the savings bank books in the hands of the Treasurer with the amount called for in the Perpetual Care Fund Account as being on deposit December 31, 1918, and the books and the amounts agree.
Sinking Fund
The cash in the bank was verified by me by a reconciliation of the checks and the bank siatements, and was further verified by a letter received from the bank certifying to the amount to the credit of the Sinking Fund Account in both the savings bank account and the check account at the close of business December 31, 1918.
I, also, examined the securities, in the hands of the Treasurer, which consist of the following : 1
One Town of Saugus bond, due May 1, 1919 $1,000 Town of Saugus bond, due May 1, 1920 1,500 Third Liberty Loan bonds 1,700
These bonds agree with the amounts which they should have on hand at the present time.
This fund will expire on May 1, 1919. In order to have sufficient funds to meet the Felton School Bond, which will be due on May 1, amounting to $5,000, it will be necessary for the Commissioners to dispose of their Liberty Loan Bonds. It will, also, be necessary for the Town to appropriate $1,500 to retire the bonds which will not be due until May 1, 1920. In. other words, they will be retiring them one year before they are due.
Respectfully submitted, GRANVILLE A. CLARK, Town Accountant.
January 30, 1919.
