The Treasurer's Cash Account.
The cash on hand December 31, 1917, was verified by me by actual count, and the cash in the bank was verified by reconcila- tion of the outstanding checks with the book and bank state- ments, 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 business December 31, 1917.
Taxes Collected.
The amounts shown as having been collected by the Tax Collector for 1917 and turned over to the Treasurer, agree with the amounts received by the Treasurer and which appear upon 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, 1917 and the books and the amounts agree.

ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
1917]
Sinking Fund
The cash in the bank was verified by me by a reconciliation of the checks and the bank statements, 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 Decem- ber 31, 1917.
I, also, examined the securities during the month of January, 1918, in the presence of the Treasurer and found them to agree with the amount of bonds they should have on hand.
Respectfully submitted,
GRANVILLE A. CLARK, Town Accountant,
