I hereby certify that I have. examined the various Trust Funds of the Town, also the accounts of the Collector of Taxes and of the Town Treasurer and find them apparently correct. I have also kept an itemized account of all payments and re- ceipts of the various departments of the Town and have pub- lished the result of the same in the Annual Town Report. These accounts, so far as possible, I have endeavored to keep in conformity with the classifications and forms prescribed by the Bureau of Statistics. It is recommended that appropriations for the year 1915 be made under the forms required by the State as follows :
GENERAL GOVERNMENT, Salaries and Expense of Selectmen, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Assessors, Town Clerk, Town Accountant, Town Counsel, Elections and Registrations, Municipal Buildings.
PROTECTION-PERSONS AND PROPERTY, Police, Inspection ( Weights and Measures, Barns and Animals, Slaughtering), Board of Health, Fire Department, Forest Warden, Tree Warden, Moth Work, Elm Beetle, etc.
HIGHWAYS, covering general maintenance, Street oil- ing, Sidewalks etc. and Street Lighting.
CHARITIES AND SOLDIERS BENEFITS covering Poor Account, Soldiers Relief, and State Aid.
EDUCATION-School Department and Public Library.
CELEBRATIONS & RECREATION, Memorial Day, Old Home Day, Independence Day, etc.
PUBLIC SERVICE-Cemeteries, etc.

UNCLASSIFIED ACCOUNTS-All other expense.
97
I also take this opportunity to call attention to the follow- ing extract from Sec. 5, Chapt. 624 Acts of 1910.
The Selectmen and all boards, committees, heads of departments or other town officials authorized by law to expend money, shall furnish to the Town Accountant, not less than ten days before the end of the town financial year, detailed estimates of the amounts for the proper mainten- ance of the department under their jurisdiction for the ensuing year, with explanatory statements as to any changes from the amounts appropriated for the same purposes in the preceding year ; and an estimate of amounts necessary for outlays or permanent improvements. They shall also pre- pare estimates of any income likely to be received by the town during the ensuing year in connection with the town's business or property entrusted to their care. The Selectinen shall include in their estimates the salaries and expenses connected with their own office, and the salaries of all other officers shall be included in the estimates for the office, department or branch of the public service committed to their charge ***
Suitable blanks for this purpose may be obtained from the Selectmen or Town Accountant.
