EDWARD A. BAILEY,

AUDITOR'S STATEMENT.
I have examined the accounts of Edward A. Bailey, Collector of Taxes for the Town of Arlington, Mass., and find the same cor- rect, agreeing with the Auditor's books.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
For the Financial Year Ending December 31, 1916.
The accounts of Treasurer and Collector have been examined and found correct and my certificate of approval has been at- tached to each.
The Trust Fund accounts have also been examined and found correct, and the securities as shown have been checked and found to agree with the accounts.
For several years I have requested that a revised list of Public Property be made, and a committee was appointed this year for that purpose. The result shows nearly one million dollars increase over the amount carried on our books.
A new law which has been put in effect during the year called for payment by the Town to the State of $77.10 under the Soldiers' Exemption Act. This amount must be provided for, and pro- vision must also be made for the year 1917.
Two overdrafts appear in the accounts. In the case of widen- ing of Massachusetts Avenue it was caused by the settlement of a suit against the Town for land taken.
Snow and ice was clearly an emergency and as it was all . labor charge, it had to be paid.
Although the school appropriation shows no overdraft, it is known that the December pay roll is incomplete and December bills are also unpaid. The total amount due is unknown to me at this time.
I would suggest as a matter of facilitating the work of closing accounts for the year that all balances of appropriations be left available for the departments. The departments could then close their accounts without waiting for bills to come in, as is now the case.
Tax Titles. Under this account I am carrying several titles, which have been sold to the Town and no longer exist as tax titles, the Town being in possession of the property. An ap-

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
propriation should be made to cover this amount and reimburse the Tax Title account.
Town Debt. Owing to large appropriations made by borrow- ing during the year, the amount necessary to be raised in 1917 for town debt is $20,000 more than last year.
The net debt of the Town has decreased $8926 since last report, even with the large borrowings made during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE McK. RICHARDSON,
