REPORT of an AUDIT
of
THE ACCOUNTS
of the
TOWN of HAMILTON
For the year 1959
I regret to announce that for the first time in more than forty years the State Bureau of Accounts has failed to audit the accounts of the Town of Hamilton during the month of January. Because of this there is no Report of an Audit printed in the 1959 town report.
