As may be seen from the appended balance sheet, there are out- standing water charges as far back as 1934. It is recommended that the town collector and the water commissioners co-operate with a view toward enforcing the collection of the overdue water rates, since it appears from Section 42A, Chapter 40, General Laws, that "overdue rates and charges may be collected through any legal means, including the shutting off of water, which may be deemed advisable." ' Attention is also called to Section 38A, Chapter 41, General Laws, as amended by Chapter 211, Acts of 1941, which provides, in part, that a town collector "shall in the collection of such accounts have all the remedies provided by Sections 35, 36, and 93 of Chapter 60 for the collection of taxes on personal estate."
SURETY BONDS .- The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
CONCLUSION. - In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked in detail.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transac- tions of the several trust funds.
For the co-operation extended by the several officials of the town during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

REPORT OF THE ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Board of Selectmen
Scituate, Mass.
During the year 1943 the Allen Memorial Library Association hope that they were successful in their aim to make available to the people of Scituate, a selection of books covering a wide range of subjects in the fields of fiction and fact.
The Book Committee added to the list of magazines any that they felt of special value in their coverage of the war and, as well, broad- ened their list of technical publications.
Considering transportation difficulties, the patronage of the library was at a high level.
The Trustees and members of the Association will welcome sug- gestions from any citizen that will add to the usefulness and value of the library in any way.
H. O. FRYE, President.
