AUDITING COMMITTEE.
The undersigned, a Committee appointed at the last annual meeting of the town, to audit and superintend the printing of the accounts of the town for the year past, respectfully
REPORT :
'hat they have examined in detail the accounts of the several De- artments, comparing them with the vouchers therefor, and with ach other, and have found them with some few exceptions, correct. {our Committee think that a better system might be observed in keeping the account of the Overseers of the Poor, which would uard against errors and render more easy the task of the annual ettlement, besides inducing a closer accountability for expenditures 1 this department.
It appears that the evil of disbursing money through the hands f officers, rather than through the Treasury (the only proper chan- tel for expenditures,) is increasing and should be checked. The 'eturns of disbursements in the Department of the Highways is also defective and loose, although strictly in accordancewith custom.
