Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appear- ed on the commitment books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
121
The records of licenses and permits issued by the select- men, town clerk, and health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to fur- nish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of rentals of municipal buildings were ex- amined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the police, fire, highway, public welfare, school, library, and cemetery departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
During the audit, cooperation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
