REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
February 8, 1938
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Acton, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit my report covering the financial transactions of the town for the year ended December 31, 1938.
I wish at this time to call attention to the different depart- ments of the town the importance of rendering all bills for payment promptly at the end of the year. I was obliged to carry over several bills into 1939; some could have been paid had they been turned in earlier as the appropriations were not all used. All persons having money due from the town should render their bills promptly.
The town was fortunate to have funds available to meet the extra costs caused by the hurricane.
I am submitting a comparative balance sheet. You will notice the overlay surplus account has been reduced considerably but the surplus revenue account remains about the same. The town is still in a good financial condition.
AUDITING
I have audited the books of the tax collector and verified the cash on hand and in the bank. Notices were mailed to delin- quents during the past year. I have checked the treasurer's cash and verified the various trust funds in his custody.
I have verified the funds in the custody of trustees.
HOWARD L. JONES,
Town Accountant.
