3. WITHHOLDING TAX DEDUCTIONS


The provisions of the Federal Revenue Act relative to deductions from the gross earnings of each town employee for income tax purposes has been complied with. The total amount of withholding tax deductions turned over to the Collector of Internal Revenue during 1946 amounted to $47,910.14.


Balance sheets and detailed financial reports have been furnished to various institutions.


In conclusion I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the State Auditors, department heads and individuals for their cooperation during the year. I personally regret the passing of the Town Accountant, Ralph Quirk, whom I found to be helpful and courteous at all times in the business of the town. He had earned an excellent reputation with the State Department of Accounts as having one of the most efficient ac- counting departments in the Commonwealth. His passing is a loss that will remain in our memories for many years.


Respectfully submitted, CARL E. CHAPMAN, Acting Town Accountant.
