Report accepted and referred to the Auditor. Sent down for concurrence.

JOHN A. DANA, Clerk.
CITY OF WORCESTER, AUDITOR'S OFFICE, March 16, 1865.
To the Honorable City Council :
The Auditor to whom was referred the within report of George W. Wheeler, Esq., City Treasurer, has carefully exam- ined same, and finds it correctly cast, to agree with the books and sustained by proper vouchers.
The Treasurer's books have also been examined and found to have been kept in a neat and systematic manner, and are balanced to January 2d, 1865, leaving a cash balance of $8974.62 in the hands of the Treasurer.
All the papers and vouchers are well arranged and properly filed in the office, and though from various causes, the labors of the office have been vastly increased, the books and papers evidently show there has been close application on the part of the Treasurer in the discharge of his duties, and all appears to have been done in a very creditable manner.
