HARVEY S. SEARS, Collector of Taxes.
December 31, 1908.
I have examined the accounts of Harvey S. Sears, Collector of Taxes for the Town of Arlington, Mass., and find the same correct, agreeing with the Auditor's Books.
GEORGE MCK. RICHARDSON, Auditor.
December 31, 1908.
AUDITOR'S REPORT,
For the Financial Year Ending Dec. 31, 1908.
The books of the Treasurer and Collector have been examined and found correct, and the balance of cash on hand as reported. A list of unpaid assessments verified by the Auditor is on file in this office.
The books of the Cemetery Department have been examined and agree with the Auditors.
The Dog License book, kept by the Town Clerk, has been examined, and the proper amount paid to the County Treasurer, and receipted for by him.
The books of the Sealer of Weights and Measures, and the Inspector of Milk, have been examined and amounts paid to the Town Treasurer found correct.
The amounts collected and paid to the Treasurer for rents of Town Hall is correct.
The accounts of the following Trust Funds have been examined and found correct, and the Investments on hand as reported by the Trustees of the various funds :
Elbridge Farmer Fund.
Nathan Pratt Library Fund.

AUDITOR.
The bequest of C. H. Pattee received in 1907 was paid into the Cemetery Perpetual Care Funds by order of the Board of Select- men.
OVERDRAFTS. The overdrafts in Abatements, Interest, and In- cidentals are due to the fact that payments on these accounts must be made whether the account has a credit balance or not, all legal claims and awards being charged in the Incidental account.
The overdraft in Watering Streets is due to the prevailing custom of anticipating credits. It has been customary for some years to receive a contribution of $200 for this account, and as it was anticipated this year and contracts made on that basis, pay- ments were made in accordance with the terms of contracts. The contribution, however, has been withheld this year, thus causing the overdraft. The anticipating of credits should be discouraged so far as possible.
The overdraft in Water Division account is due to the fact that in making up the estimated income for 1908, the balance of cash on hand, and stock on hand, were both included, while the cash on hand was appropriated to Interest account, and stock on hand Dec. 31, 1908, shows an increase over the stock on hand Dec. 31, 1907.
No separate account being kept of the Extension of Mains, the Auditor has no control over the expenditures. This cost is certified by the Board of Public Works at the end of the year and a transfer entry made of the amount.
The same statement applies also to Renewal of Main Pipes.
The Auditor would recommend that appropriations be made and accounts kept in such a way as to show clearly the regular cost of maintaining each department, and such charges as go to the Maintenance account should be thoroughly understood when appropriations are made.
FINANCIAL. Attention is called to the Financial Statement by which it will be seen that the borrowing capacity of the Town is now considerably below $100,000, and the question of further borrowings should receive very careful consideration. No ac- cotint is taken of the Town's share of the Metropolitan Debts as these are apportioned and paid each year as Metropolitan Taxes. These taxes are made up of Sinking Fund ·Require- ments, Interest, and Maintenance charges. The interest charges paid by the Town on Metropolitan Debts in 1908 amounted to $16,935.12, which added to the interest paid in Town Debt and Water Debt, shows a total payment of $45,647.71 for interest in 1908. The increase in Town Debt will add about $2,000 to the Interest account, and with an increased Metropolitan Debt will carry our Interest account close to $50,000 in 1909.
273
AUDITOR.
The Auditor feels it is his duty to call to the attention of the Town the fact that a contract between the Town and the Lexing- ton Peat Co. calls for the payment of $2,000 on or before May 1, 1908, and the balance ($3,737.30) on or before August 1, 1908, the first payment only has been received and the matter is now in the hands of the Town Counsel.
Under the provisions of the act relating to Cemeteries recently accepted by the Town, the receipts from the sale of lots are placed under the control of the Board of Cemetery Commissioners and the Board of Selectmen. As statute law takes precedence over the vote of the Town holding these receipts as funds available for transfer or appropriation, the Auditor would recommend that such receipts be placed to the credit of Cemetery account and no appropriation by taxation be made for this department. A por- tion of the receipts from sales should be used in establishing a fund, to provide for additional Cemeteries in the future.
A list of unpaid bills for 1908 reported by the several depart- ments is as follows :
