REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The accompanying report covers the financial transac- tions of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1952, and consists of the following:
I. Summary cf Appropriations, Transfers and Expenditures.
II. Schedule of Receipts and Departmental Payments.
III. Balance Sheet.
The Funded Debt of the Town has increased $290,000.00 to finance the construction of the Elementary School. The amortization schedule of this bond issue requires an annual payment of $15,000.00 and the amount due on the High School Addition loan is $1,000.00, making a total maturing debt of $16,000.00 in 1953.
The Town Collector's report has been prepared subject to adjustments resulting from the 1952 State Audit.
The amount of the discrepancy as of the audit date is designated in their most recent report published in this volume.
I have verified the accounts of the Treasurer and have checked the various funds in the custody of the Treasurer and Trustees.
Respectfully submitted,
DONALD O. NYLANDER, Town Accountant
