The undersigned, Auditors of the Town of Southbridge, hereby certify that we have examined the books, accounts and vouchers of the Treasurer, and of each of the several boards of the Town officers authorized to draw orders upon the Town treasury, as required by the By-Laws of the Town, and find that the several items contained in each of the accounts presented in each of the foregoing reports of receipts and expenditures are correct and properly vouched for.

Southbridge, March 1, 1899.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CEMETERY COMMITTEE.
CEMETERY COMMITTEE.
Report of Cemetery Committee.
The work of the Superintendent, Samuel Williams, for the past year, has been to the satisfaction and approval of the Com- mittee. We submit his report which fully explains the kind and amount of work done during the past year. The Cemetery Fund now amounts to $9,574.25, a gain of $525 during the past year. All receipts from the sale of lots and perpetual care go to increase the permanent fund and owing to the thoughtful- ness of the citizens in attending to these matters it is expected that the interest of the fund, will in a few years, be sufficient to pay all expenses connected with the care of the Cemetery. We believe that we have one of the most beautiful and best kept Cemeteries in the state and we trust that the citizens will co-operate with the Superintendent, as heretofore, in making it yet more beautiful.
