AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
Herewith we present for your consideration the forty-third annual report of the finances of the Town for the fiscal year ending Feb. 28, 1895.
The accounts of the Treasurer have been carefully exam- ined and found to be correctly cast, and his disbursements supported by approved vouchers.
All other accounts of officers and agents of the Town have been verified, and satisfactory receipts presented for pay- ments made.
We have on file Cashiers' certificates from the National Security Bank, Lynn, and the Manufacturers National Bank, Boston, showing the Treasurer's balance to the Town's credit at the time of making the quarterly examination of his accounts.
The bank pass books agree with the Treasurer's accounts, allowing for checks not returned.
The Auditors would respectfully recommend that the Town adopt some modern method of recording the Treas- urer's transactions upon his cash book. The system in use at the present time is but a memorandum of the financial records, at the best, without proper arrangement of dates to clearly exhibit a satisfactory statement of the Town's fiscal affairs.
In the list of standing committees, 1894-95, (page 13 of this report,) the name of "Martin Nies" appears as a member of the "Committee on Water Supply;" this should have been Martin E. Nies.
Respectfully submitted,
J. ROSWELL WIDGER, - Board ELMER A. HARDY, of
JAY C. MERRITT, Auditors.
