AUDITORS' REOORT.
1902]
Auditors' Remarks
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
We herewith present for your consideration the fiftieth Annual Report of the Town, for the fiscal year ending Feb. 21, 1902.
The accounts of the several departments have been carefully examined and found to be correct and proper vouchers on file for payments made.
The Treasurer's accounts have been audited quarterly, and we have on file bank cashiers' certificates of deposits for balance of each quarter's auditing.
The Water Board Sinking Fund has been carefully looked over ; Bonds examined, and balance found to be correct.
The items of receipts can be found by referring to the different departments as they appear in the Treasurer's account.
The business of the Town is increasing year by year, and the Reports are growing larger in proportion.
We would recommend that some action be taken to condense certain parts of the report and thus save both time and maney.
We would call attention particularly to the Town Clerk's rec- ords which, as printed, take up a large space in the book, and in our opinion could be condensed, and at the same time answer all requirements.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN B. EARP, H. F. ASHTON, Auditors.
