(c) Incidentals 1,075 19

(e) Tax and Sewer Assessment Suspense Acc't. 4 03
a. Owing to the high rate charged for money, the latter part of the year, the Treasurer was obliged to pay more on temporary loans than was anticipated when the appropriation for this account was made, resulting in a deficit in this account which must be pro- vided for by

The appropriations for this account

Leaving a balance of $300 37
to be appropriated to make good this deficiency.
C. INCIDENTALS. Extraordinary legal expenses have been charged to this account in defending suits against the Town. These were not contemplated nor provided for when the appropria- tions were made.
Instead of opening an account for Claims and Awards, the Auditor deemed it best to approve this overdraft of $1,075.19 against the Incidental Account; therefore the Town is asked to appropriate this amount to close this account.
d. ALMSHOUSE STABLE REPAIRS. This overdraft was approved by the Auditor with the understanding that a sufficient credit would come from the Highway Department to make good the defi- ciency, but when the books were closed that department was unable to provide for this charge, therefore the Auditor requests
An appropriation of . $31 90
to close the account.
e . TAX AND SEWER ASSESSMENT SUSPENSE ACCOUNT. The entry in this account explains itself, and it is necessary, in order to close the account,
To make the appropriation of. $4 03
The Town authorized the following Loans, which the Treasurer found it was not necessary to make :
Street Watering. $2,500 00
Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth 6,128 00
This authorization constituted a contingent asset which ceases to be such after the 31st day of December, 1907.
The Auditor notices with great satisfaction the gradual introduc- tion of a system of numbered orders used in ordering supplies.
254
AUDITOR.
This is a useful check in reducing the possibility of approving a second bill for the same item. This custom should be adopted by all departments at the earliest possible date.
The Auditor wishes to call the attention of the departments to the undesirability of making outlays and contracting bills the latter part of the year, for which they may not have a sufficient appropri- ation, necessitating thereby, either a special appropriation or impos- ing upon an incoming board the burden of an account, for which the new board were not responsible, and which they might not approve.
The following unpaid bills are reported to the Auditor by the several departments, in accordance to a vote of the Town April 7, 1904.
