The accounts of the Treasurer and Collector are correct to the best of my knowledge and belief and all balances are in bank to the credit of the Town.
The Town has no funded debt or notes in anticipation of taxes. The last note of the funded debt was paid Nov. 1, 1931. The Re- venue Loans were paid in full during November 1931. The Town is free from debt.
The condition of the Town Investment Fund is as follows:

This fund is on deposit in the Taunton Savings Bank and Bristol Co. Savings Bank, Taunton, Mass. I have examined the bank books and they show credits of the amount of the fund. All receipts and payments are properly accounted for.
