AUDITORS' FINAL STATEMENT.
From March 14, 1895, to January 31, 1896, the Selectmen have drawn 1858 orders on the Treasurer, representing $126,845.13. We have examined the vouchers for these payments, and our re- port upon them will be found arranged in the departments to which they belong.
Our final balance sheet shows a total expenditure of $142,170 .- 96, which includes $15,325.83 disbursed directly by the Treas- urer for town debt, interest, Library and Reading Room pay- ments.
We have verified the receipts of such departments as pay money to the Treasurer ; we have examined the books of the collector of Taxes, and of T. J. Skinner, Treasurer of the Library and Read- ing Room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Skinner, as Town Treasurer, and find them cor- rect, with the proper vouchers for all receipts and payments ; and that he has a cash balance of $4,582.03 on deposit in the National Bank of South Reading.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits representing the C. Sweetser Lecture Fund, Burial Lot Funds, and Library Funds.
We have made a careful examination of the books and accounts of the Municipal Light Plant, and find them neatly and correctly kept.
A rebate of $70.50 stands to the credit of the miscellaneous expense account, being amount refunded on Lois Emerson case.
The Board are still of the opinion that each Official Board should, at the end of the financial year, and after their books had been audited, include in their report to the Town a detail of re- ceipts and expenditures the same as is now done by the Auditors, thus giving them an opportunity to issue the Town Report at an earlier date than at present.
In compliance with the vote of the Town we have compiled the annual Town Report and submit the same.
Respectfully submitted.

171 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HEATING ALMSHOUSE.
The Committee appointed by the Town April 8, 1895, for the purpose of placing a heating apparatus in the Almshouse have attended to their duty.
The Committee, after having built the boiler room, found it impossible to keep the surface water from running into it and on looking for the cause found : First, That the ground being low acted as a catch basin for water running from the high land ; Second, That a well situated within a few feet of the boiler room also emptied into it.
After considering the matter the Committee agreed that they would be compelled to dig a large drain, which has been done, and acts as a double drain, carrying off the surface water from the outside, a 5-inch drain pipe running through the centre of the drain, 10 ft. deep at one end and running to the meadow some 88 feet distant, carrying away the water from the inside of boiler room leaving it dry in all kinds of weather.
The heating apparatus has been in operation since Nov. 1st, and the superintendent, Mr. Geo. E. Donald, states it has proved satisfactory in heating the building during the coldest weather.
The matter of drainage had not been considered when they asked for the appropriation for the work.
This necessitated their asking for an additional appropriation of one hundred dollars ($100.00) to carry out the work, and the plant is now in good running order. A detailed report of the expenditures of the Committee will be found in the Auditor's report.
Respectfully submitted.
