TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
REVENUE ACCOUNTS
The surplus revenue Dec. 31, 1917 is $18,711.11 a gain of $9,297.74 for the year. This showing is very complimentary to the Board of Assessors, as the providing of funds to meet town expenditures rests wholly in their hands. The excess is accounted for largely by the appropriation balances amounting to $10,595.23.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend that the town appropriate from its surplus revenue about $8,000 in place of having the same enter the tax levy, thereby reducing its surplus to about $10,000, which is considered a reasonable amount for a town of this size to carry.
The accounts of the Treasurer have been examined and agree with the Accountant's books, cash balances have been verified by bank statements. All permanent and temporary loans cancelled during the year by the Treasurer have been examined and found as reported.
Respectfully submitted
