JOHN H. STETSON, Treasurer.
Weymouth, January 25, 1929. I have examined the accounts of John H. Stetson, Treasurer of the Water Department and find them correct. The records of the Col- lector's Department have been checked during the year and I am satisfied that the report of that department is correct. EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass., Jan 31, 1929.
To the Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare: Gentlemen :
I submit herewith the 27th annual report of the accounting de- partment showing the financial transactions of the several branches of town activities.
As the town accepted Sec. 55 of Chap. 41, G. L. on Oct. 3, 1927 my appointment was made by the Selectmen in conformity to this section and the offices of Town Auditors was abolished.
The result of this action places the auditing responsibility wholly upon this department.
The accounts of the several town officials have been examined from time to time and always found in order. All cash balances have been verified as required by law and always found correct.
The accounts of the Tax Collector's have been thoroughly au- dited and notices forwarded to all those whose accounts apear open on the books. In so far as I have received no information that any of the items have been questioned I am satisfied that the accounts are correct.
The balance uncollected on tax commitments as of Dec. 31, 1928 was $222,266.35 which has been reduced to less than $190,000.00 at this date.
During the year 1928 the sum of $61,000.00 was paid for debt re- duction and as no authorization was made for further borrowing the borrowing capacity of the town was increased by $144,997.61 making the sum that may be borrowed within the debt limit $354,999.60.
The gross surplus of the town as of Dec. 31, 1928 was $198,829.51.
The Balance Sheet, Debt Statement, Municipal Property Account and Recapitulation of Apropriation Accounts are appended to and made a part of this report.
The new quarters afforded the department in the new Town Hall makes possible more satisfactory and efficient handling of the account- ing work.
It is always a pleasure to meet any of the people interested in the finances of the town, and I trust there will be no hesitancy at any time in calling at the office for whatever information may be desired.
My appreciation is extended to all those who have in any way assisted in the work of this office and especially to my secretary, Miss Mary E. Ford, whose efficient and faithful application to the many duties of the office have contributed so much to the successful com- pletion of the accounting work of this year.
Respectfully, EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant
