The Treasurer's Cash Account
The cash on hand, December 31, 1920, was verified by me by actual count, and the cash in the bank was verified by reconcilia- tion of the outstanding checks with the book and bank statements, and was further verified by a letter received from the bank cer- tifying to the amount to the credit of the town of Saugus at the close of the business, December 31, 1920.
Taxes Collected
The cash books and commitment books were footed and the payments to the Treasurer verified and compared 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, 1920, and the books and the amounts agree.
