Report of the Town Accountant
February 10, 1942
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I hereby submit my report covering the financial transac- tions of the town for the year ended December 31, 1941.
The financial condition of the town is excellent as you will notice by the balance sheet.
At a special town meeting in December the town voted to appropriate $7,907.15 from surplus revenue. Please note that after making these appropriations the surplus account at the end of 1941 is a little more than one year ago.
This past year the town borrowed $16,000 on account of the addition to the high school. These notes bear interest at 11/2% and mature $1,000 annually from 1942-1957.
There is still outstanding $4,000 in notes on the original high school building which mature $1,000 annually from 1942- 1945. This will make the payments on the bonded debt $2,000 annually for the next 4 years; after that it will be reduced to $1,000 annually.
I have audited the books of the tax collector 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.
HOWARD L. JONES,
Town Accountant.
