AUDITORS' REPORT.
1906]
Auditors' Remarks.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
We herewith present for your consideration the fifty-fourth Annual Report of the Town, for the fiscal year ending February 2, 1906.
The accounts of the several departments have been carefully examined and we have proper vouchers on file for the payments made.
The Treasurer's accounts have been carefully audited and we have on file bank cashiers' certificates 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.
We would recommend that the books of the several depart- ments be closed on Friday, February 22, 1907, and stand closed until after the annual March meeting.
We would also recommend that owing to the great increase in the duties of the Tax Collector, that the Town vote to increase the salary of that position.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE R. HUSSEY, HARRY E. CAHOON, STUART P. ELLIS,
Auditors.
