TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
REVENUE ACCOUNTS
The surplus revenue at the close of the year, as shown by the balance sheet, is $20,898.92, a loss of $21,054.47 from 1919.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of the increased calls for money of many of the departments for the ensuing year, I would recommend that the town appropriate from its surplus revenue the sum of $20,000.00.
The accounts of the Treasurer have been examined and agree with the Ac- countant'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.
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.
