ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT.
1908]
Auditors' Remarks.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
By adoption of the new By-Laws of the Town a considerable portion of the detail work of the Auditors has been transferred to the Town Accountant. By referring to his report one can readily find facts and figures formerly contained in the Auditors' report. This being the first year of the new system of account- ing, it is too early to express an opinion of the advantages de- rived from the change.
Respectfully submitted,
STUART P. ELLIS, HARRY E. CAHOON, NATHANIEL F. BARTLETT,
Board of Auditors.
