TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:
The Acton Town Forest Committee herewith submits the following report for the year 1945.
The committee wishes to report that no land was purchased with the 500.00 appropriated in 1945 (for the purpose of buying additional forest land), as we were unable to locate desirable property of an acreage that would coincide with the appropria- tion.
We recommend that an appropriation of 500.00 be made this year for the purpose of purchasing additional forest land, this appropriation to be used in conjunction with the $500.00 now available.
Your town forest now totals 71 acres. It is the aim of this committee to increase this acreage substantially before replanting and thinning the existing forest land, unless an unemployment crisis arises before such time.
Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE A. FROST, Chairman JAMES J. KNIGHT ARNO H. PERKINS, Secretary

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Acton:
I herewith submit my annual report covering the finan- cial transactions of the town for the year ended December 31, 1945.
I have included a detailed statement of the expenditures of each department and a tabulated record showing appro- priations, transfers and balances as of December 31, 1945
The amount of maturing debts for 1946 amounts to $2,000.
The surplus revenue at the end of the year shows a substancial gain over the previous year.
I have audited the books of the Collector of Taxes and verified the cash on hand. I have audited the books of the treasurer and verified the several trust funds in his custody.
I have verified the funds in the custody of trustees.
