REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
REVENUE ACCOUNTS
The surplus revenue at the close of the year, as shown by the balance sheet, is $21,210.21, a gain of $311.29 over 1920.
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 $21,000.00.
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.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY A. SIMONDS,
Town Accountant.
