The general condition of the department, in so far as it relates to the detail work of the water office, has been much improved dur- ing the year. The installation of a modern system of billing has made possible a thorough audit of the books. Notices were sent to those having open accounts, and no items having been questioned I am satisfied that the records are correct.


The general fund of the water department as of Dec. 31, 1925 is $36,187.87, which makes available for appropriating purposes, after deducting accounts receivable, the sum of $17,349.45.


Respectfully submitted, EMERSON R. DIZER Town Accountant.
