REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Southbridge, Mass.
Report of Town Accountant's Department for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1933, is appended here- to.
The report is substantially in the same form as pre- vious years and as prescribed by the State Division of Accounts. The Accountant has again itemized expendi- tures in greater detail than prescribed by the State forms. This, of course, materially increases the tabula- tion and clerical work of the office.
In 1933 this Department attempted to operate on a part time basis as recommended by the Finance Com- mittee. The results are too familiar to your Honorable Board to necessitate comment on the inaccuracy of the Committee's statement, viz: "-one-half time is suffi- cient."
The Accountant again acknowledges and appre- ciates the use of office equipment loaned by the various departments as well as the co-operation of the officials.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH E. DESROSIER,
Town Accountant
