AUDITOR.
The following deficits are shown in the Auditor's balances : -
a. Non-resident Bank Tax, $20 70
b. Soldier's Relief, 30 24
c. Abatement of Taxes, 127 85
d. Expense for collecting Back Taxes, 13 65
e. Tax and Sewer Assessment Suspense Account, 33 55
a. Non-resident Bank Tax. The Assessors committed $243.10 to the Collector of Taxes for collection. The State Treasurer, however, called for $263.80, causing this deficit.
b. Soldier's Relief. The State Law requires that relief provided for sick and disabled soldiers be kept in a separate account, designated "Soldier's Relief." The above amount was paid for this purpose during the year, and as the Town had made no appropriation for same the above amount stands as an overdraft, and must be provided for by the Town.
c. Abatement of Taxes. A large number of abatements were made by the Assessors during the year, amounting in all to $9,162.78. The appropriations by the Town for this pur- pose amounted to $9,534.93, leaving the above deficit, which must be provided for by the Town.
d. Expense for collecting Back Taxes. The Committee, consisting of the Assessors and the Committee of Five, having in charge the collection of Back Taxes, were obliged to employ an officer to serve warrants. The expense was charged by recommendation of the Selectmen to above account. The amount collected from tax-payers for warrants has been credited, leaving above balance. These deficits must be taken care of by the Town.
e. Tax and Sewer Assessment Suspense Account. The Auditor was obliged to open this account, comprising Taxes and
327
. AUDITOR.
Sewer Assessments, which were established as misappropriated, or otherwise wrongly charged to Collector of Taxes.
A list of unpaid taxes is in the Auditor's office and agrees with his books. The Collector's and Treasurer's books have been examined and agree with the Auditor's books. The Ceme- tery account and Dog Tax account kept by the Town Clerk have been examined and found correct.
On April 7, 1904, the Town voted "that all departments furnish the Auditor with a list of all unpaid bills up to and in- cluding Dec. 31st of each year, showing to whom due, for what due, and the amounts, and that the Auditor be authorized to incorporate the same in his annual report."
Early in November, 1904, the Auditor sent a written com- munication to the heads of the several Town Departments and Committees calling their attention to the above vote.
The only list received is from the School Committee, which shows a total of $270.76, and the items making up this amount were given in detail and are on file in the Auditor's office.
As this is the only official report, it is understood by the Auditor that no other outstanding bills against 1904 appropria- tions will be presented for his approval. Should there be any 1904 bills remaining unpaid in excess of the amount of unex- pended balances standing to the credit of the departments Dec. 31, 1904, the Auditor understands that such bills must be pro- vided for by special appropriation of the Town before the Audi- tor can approve same for payment.
ELBERT L. CHURCHILL,
Auditor.
* A portion of a bequest under the will of the late Samuel C. Buckman was left to his executors to be expended under their direction for the benefit of the High School of the Town of Arlington. These funds and the accrued interest thereon have been expended from time to time, and the entire fund is

now exhausted. None of the money in connection with this bequest was either received or paid out by the Town Treasurer, and therefore it does not enter into the Town Accounts, but in order to comply with the law passed at the last session of the Massachusetts Legislature, requiring that all accounts and securities of trust funds, the principal and interest of which shall in whole or in part be devoted to the use of any city or town in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, be examined at least once a year by the auditor of such city or town, and incorporated in the annual report of such city or town, the following statement is inserted : -
