AUDITORS' FINAL STATEMENT
The Board of Auditors herewith presents to the Town of Wakefield its report for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1914.
From Jan. 1, 1914, to Jan. 1, 1915, orders to the amount of $328,458.41 have been drawn by the Board of Selectmen on the town treasury. We have examined the vouchers for the payments, and have verified the arithmetic of all bills coming before the Board of Selectmen for payment during the year. We have verified the accounts of such departments as pay money into the treasury, and have examined the books of the Town Treasurer, and find them correct.
The accounts of the town were set up Jan. 1, 1915, under the supervision of the State Bureau of Statistics, and are now being kept in accordance with the State schedule and under the Town Accountant Act.
The Auditors of the Commonwealth stated to our board that, without exception, they found the records and accounts more exact and accurate in our town than in any town so far exam- ined by them.
As the Board of Auditors, by vote of the town, is abolished March 1, 1915, we wish to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of the town for the support given us in questions per- taining to our office, and we feel sure that under the new sys- tem of accounting the results will be well worth the amount expended.
