The commitments were verified; the recorded col- lections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, as shown by the treasurer's books; the abatements, as recorded, were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted; and the outstanding amounts were listed, checked with the available records in the several departments, and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the town accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the municipal light department were audited. The consumers' accounts were examined, and the outstanding gas, electric, and sundry accounts receivable were listed and proved with the departmental controlling accounts and with the town accountant's ledger. The departmental controlling accounts were analyzed and checked with the town accountant's ledger, and the recorded collections were proved with the town treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
The electric light guarantee deposit account was checked with the records on file, and the balance on August 31, 1959 was reconciled with the cash in the banks.
Further verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, de- partmental, municipal light, and water accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The assessors' computations of the tax rates for 1958 and 1959 were examined and checked. The records of abatements granted were listed and compared with the tax collector's and the town accountant's books, while the warrants to the collector were listed and compared with the detailed commitments. The records of deferred assessments were audited. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's receipts, the amounts added to taxes were verified, and the apportionments due in future years were listed and proved with the town accountant's controls.
The records of guarantee deposits required by the several departments for special services were examined and checked. The recorded deposits were checked with the treasurer's and the town accountant's books, while the transfers to the town for the cost of work done and the amounts re- funded to depositors were verified. The deposits on hand August 31, 1959 were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling ledger accounts.
The town clerk's records of financial votes passed at town meetings were listed, checked in detail with the town accountant's ledger, and proved with the aggregate amounts raised in the assessors recapitulations of the tax rates.
The recorded receipts for dog and sporting licenses issued, and from recording fees and miscellaneous charges, were verified and compared with the payments to the treasurer and to the State. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on August 31, 1959 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The surety bonds of the town officials who are required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.

148TH ANNUAL REPORT
The records of licenses and permits issued by the Board of Selectmen, the inspectors of buildings, wires, and plumbing, and the police and health departments, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treas- urer were verified, and the cash on hand, including petty cash advances, was proved by actual count.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the fire, school, library, and public works departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's books, and the cash on hand, including petty cash advances, was proved by actual count.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and town clerk's cash, sum- maries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
For the co-operation received from all town officials during the prog- ress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.

148TH ANNUAL REPORT
Forty-fifth Annual Report of the Town Accountant
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1959
The total cash expenditure processed by the Town Accountant's Office amounted to $6,972,423.65 of which amount $407,942.15 was withheld and expended from employees wages for Federal Income Taxes, Blue Cross, Life Insurance and Teachers' Retirement; $379,694.25 was expended on account of Maturing Debt and Interest; $30,750.00 was repaid on Tempor- ary Loans in Anticipation of State and County Reimbursement.
The net cost of town services for the year 1959 was $6,021,016.62 which is offset by Government Grants and departmental refunds.
The total cash receipts amount to $8,791,318.40 which indicates the necessity for serious control and consideration of this area of the financial program.
Indebtedness continues as an important consideration in the town's financial condition with the following addition during the year 1959 as is graphically described by the following illustration.
Junior High School Construction $1,975,000.00
The operational and indebtedness cost of town services can be exam- ined by the simple comparison with other immediately surrounding com- munities.
