The surety bonds of the various town officials required to file them for faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, the select- men, and the building inspector, as well as of all other depart- ments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collec- tion, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
. In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer .. excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the various town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
