Accountant's Report
THE TREASURER'S CASH ACCOUNT
The cash on hand December 31, 1933, 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 letters received from the banks certifying to the amount to the credit of the town of · Saugus at the close of the business, December 31, 1933.
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, 1933, and the books and the amounts agree.
The George Melvin Wilson Library Fund and the Benjamin Johnson Library Fund accounts were verified by examining the Bonds in the hands of the Treasurer, which are registered bonds, also the savings bank book.
The War Bonus Fund was verified by examining the savings bank book and the book and amount agree.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD GIBBS, JR.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the Honorable School Committee and Citizens of Saugus:
It is both the duty and privilege of the Superintendent of Schools to submit his first annual report for the School De- partment, the same being the forty-first annual report.
SUPERINTENDENT LAMBERT
