Auditors' Final Statement.
The Board of Auditors herewith present to the town their report for the fiscal year ending Feb. 1, 1904.
From February 1, 1903, to February 1, 1904, the select- men have drawn 2932 orders on the town treasury amount- ing to $183,332.10.
We have examined the vouchers for these payments and have also verified the arithmetic of all bills coming before the board of selectmen for-payment during the year, and our report upon them will be found arranged in the depart- ments 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 collector of taxes, and of Albert W. Flint, treasurer of the library and reading room, and find them correct. We have also examined the accounts of Mr. Flint as town treasurer, and find them correct, with the proper vouchers for all pay- ments made by him and that he has a cash balance of $11843.39 in the Wakefield National bank.
We also certify that he has securities and deposits repre- senting the various trust funds now in his charge.
The unexpended balance of Cemetery Committee, Common and Park, Water and Railroad street land damages, School, Sewerage System, Municipal Light Plant, Highway and Bridges, Oak street, Public Library, Town Hall, Richardson Light Guard and Grading at Greenwood Hose House, are available for next year either on account of contracts pend- Ing, or by past votes of the town.

The overdraft on Main street land damages will be refund- ed to the town by the county.
After the report of the Cemetery Commissioners had been made out and printed, and the Auditors' account of their expenses had been closed up and sent to press as well, $25.00 was turned over by the commissioners to the Town Treasurer. This accounts for the larger amount which ap- pears on the Treasurer's balance sheet, and makes their ac- count that much the better.
To avoid either lapsing the Jan. payment or overdrawing Soldiers' Relief, a balance of $145 of Military Aid, and $41.64 available in the Miscellaneous Appropriation was transferred by Selectmen to Soldiers' Relief.
We have examined the accounts of the Municipal Light Plant and find them to be correct.
All payments made by this department are paid by orders drawn by the selectmen and vouchers for same are on file at the Town Hall where they may be seen at any time.
We 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,
GEORGE W. LINNELL, WILLIAM O. ABBOTT, ARTHUR L. WILEY,
Auditors.
