REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town of Southbridge, Southbridge, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The attached statements of receipts, expenditures and sched- ule of appropriations and transfers comprise the report of this Department for the year ending December 31, 1934.
A Balance Sheet showing the financial condition of the Town Accounts will be found in the Annual Town Report now in process of preparation at the printers.
This Department continued to operate on a part time basis as recommended by your Finance Committee for a major portion of the year but it was necessary to engage a clerk before the close of the year. This clerk of course was paid by the Accountant.
In conclusion we wish to express our appreciation for the co- operation of the various departmental officials during the year.
Respectfully, JOSEPH E. DESROSIER,
Town Accountant
