Report of the Town Accountant
January 30, 1940
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
hereby submit my report covering the financial I transactions of the town for the year ended December 31, 1939. I am submitting again this year a comparative balance sheet and you will notice a considerable improvement in the financial condition of the town over the previous year, viz:
Cash on hand increased $8,395.67. Revenue loans de- creased-amount, $10,000.00. Overlay Surplus increased $1,092.36. Surplus Revenue increased $6,032.94. A large part of the increase of the Surplus Revenue was on account of the redemption of tax titles. Amount received the past year was $4,077.66; amount added to Tax Titles was $747.31, leaving a balance of $3,330.35 to Surplus Account. The fixed debt is now $10,500, a decrease of $5,500 over the preceding year. The town will have to raise $5,500 this year, which will bring the account down to $5,000 that will mature $1,000 yearly from 1941-45.
I feel that the citizens will be pleased with the financial condition of the town as set forth by the balance sheet.
AUDITING
I have audited the books of the tax collector and verified the cash on hand and in the bank. Notices were mailed to delinquents during the past year. I have audited the books of the treasurer, reconciled the bank balance, checked and verified the several trust funds in his custody. I have verified the funds in the custody of the trustees.

Town Accountant.
