AUDITOR'S REPORT.


The Auditor, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16, of the Town's By-laws, adopted in March, 1903, presents his report for the financial year 1906.


The Auditor has examined the securities and accounts of the fol- lowing trust funds, and finds the securieties on hand as stated and the accounts as printed elsewhere, correct :


Elbridge Farmer Fund.


Commissioners of Sinking Fund.


Pratt Fund.


High School Income Fund.


E. Nelson Blake, Jr., Memorial Fund.


Martha M. W. Russell School Fund.


Martha M. W. Russell Poor Widows' Fund.


William Cutter School Fund.


Poor Widows' Fund.


Military Fund.


Citizen's Soldiers' Fund.


Henry Mott Library Fund.


Timothy Wellington Fund.


Julia Fillebrown Fund.


The following deficits are shown in the Auditors balances :-


a. Fire Alarm Department $5 81


b. Health Department 100 95


c. Incidentals 122 23


d. Interest on Town Debt 577 66


e. Town House . 9 99


f. Commonwealth of Massachusetts Burials 105 00


g. Soldiers' Relief 169 00


h. Military Aid . 366 00


a. FIRE ALARM DEPARTMENT. Through an error made by the Auditor this account was over approved to the extent of $5.81. The Auditor respectfully requests an appropriation to balance this account.


b. HEALTH DEPARTMENT. The amount appropriated for this Department had been expended and the collection of offal must be continued for two weeks or more, to the end of the year, therefore, after consultation with the Town Counsel, who advised that it was a work of public necessity, the Auditor agreed to approve this over- draft for which an appropriation is necessary, $100.95.


c. INCIDENTALS. Extraordinary legal expenses have been charged to this account in settlement of claims against the Town.


241


AUDITOR.


These were not contemplated when the appropriations were made and instead of opening an account of claims and awards, the Auditor deemed it best to approve this over-draft of $122.23 which must now be provided for by a sufficient appropriation.


d. INTEREST ON TOWN DEBT. A change in the investments of some of the trust funds made it necessary for the Town Treasurer to pay higher rates for loans than was anticipated when the appro- priations were made, resulting in an over-draft of $577.66, for which an appropriation must be made.


e. TOWN HOUSE. Through an error made by the Auditor this account was over-approved to the extent of $9.99. The Auditor respectfully requests an appropriation to balance this account.


f. COMMONWEALTH OF MASACHUSETTS BURIAL ACCOUNT. This amount, $105.00, will later be received from the State Treasurer as a reimbursement, therefore no action by the Town is required.


g. SOLDIERS' RELIEF. The State law required that relief pro- vided for sick and disabled soldiers be kept in a separate account, designated " Soldiers Relief."


One hundred and sixty-nine ($169) dollars was paid for this purpose during the year and as the Town made no appropriation for the same the over-draft must be cared for by a sufficient appro- priation.


h. MILITARY AID. This Aid is required by State law for soldiers incapable of self-support. The Town is required to pay one-half, the other half is received later from the State Treasurer as a reimbursement.


No appropriation was made for this purpose.


The Auditor suggests that the full amount expended, $366.60, be appropriated to care for this over-draft.


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 exam- ined and agree with the Auditor's books. The cemetery account and dog tax account, kept by the Town Clerk, have been examined and found correct.


The following list of unpaid bills has been sent to the Auditor, by the several departments in accordance to a vote of the Town April 7, 1904 :
