TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


REVENUE ACCOUNTS


The surplus revenue at the close of the year, as shown by the bal- ance sheet, is $41,948.39 a gain of $8,509,15 over 1918.


RECOMMENDATIONS


In view of the increased calls for money of many of the depart- ments for the ensuing year, I would recommend that the town appro- priate from its surplus revenue the sum of $40,000.00.


The accounts of the Treasurer have been examined and agree with the Accountant's books, cash balances have been verified by bank state- ments. All permanent and temporary loans cancelled during the year by the Treasurer have been examined and found as reported.


I take this opportunity to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and all other town officials who have co-operated and assisted in the work of this department.


Respectfully submitted,


HARRY A. SIMONDS,
