ALBERT W. FLINT, Sec'y Board of Auditors.
Wakefield, February 1, 1902.
154
Auditors' Final Statement.
The Board of Auditors herewith present to the town their report for the fiscal year ending Feb. 1, 1902.
From February 1, 1901, to February 1, 1902, the select- men have drawn orders on the town treasury amounting to $268,190.39.
We have examined the vouchers for these payments and have also verified the arithmetic of all bills coming before the board of selectment for payment during the year, and our report upon them will be found arranged in the departments to which they belong.
We have verified the accounts of such departments as pay money to the treasurer; we have examined the books of the col- lector of taxes, and of T. J. Skinner, treasurer of the library and reading room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Skinner as town treasurer, and find them correct, with the proper vouchers for all receipts and payments; and that he has a cash balance of $27,323.55 in the National Bank of South Reading.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits represent- ing the various trust funds now in his charge.
The unexpended balance of evening school, school general, cemetery committee, municipal light plant, sewage system, highways and bridges, public library, card catalogue for library, rental of hydrants, new Junction school house, transportation school children, and addition Greenwood school house, are avail- able for next year, being unfinished contracts with teachers, con- tractors, builders, etc., or by past votes of the town. In the case of hydrant rental this amount is held under process of trustee.
The overdrafts of gas and electric extensions and new fire alarm boxes will be charged against next year's business.
155
We have examined the accounts of the municipal light plant and find them to be correct.
We again invite any citizen who desires a closer knowledge of bills and accounts of the town to make application to this board and same will be gladly answered.
In compliance with the vote of the town we have compiled the annual town report and submit the same.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT W. EATON, ALBERT W. FLINT, GEORGE W. LINNELL,
Auditors.
