Auditor's Report.
WEST BRIDGEWATER, MASS., Jan. 25, 1912
I have examined and approved the accounts of the Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor and Water Commissioners together with the original bills on which money has been paid during the past year. The Treasurer's accounts were found correct, payments properly vouched by orders from the Selectmen or Water Board, registry made of all forms of out- standing indebtedness, and trust funds as stated in the Trea- urer's report. All checks drawn have been compared with the record on the stubs and the bank balance Dec 31st has been verified in writing by the cashier of the Home National Bank. The collector's accounts have been carefully checked and the uncollected taxes an water rates are as stated in his report. I have audited the accounts and invoices of the Treasurer of the Public Library and the trust funds in his hands and have found them correct
