TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
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 that we agree.
I have also kept an itemized account of all payments and receipts of the Town, and have published the result of the same in the Annual Town Report in connection with reports of Depart- ments, and records of Town Clerk, etc.
I have also shown the amount of bills that were not paid in 1918, which if taken from some of the Departmental balances would show a much less balance to that Department.
OSCAR E. PHILLIPS,
Town Accountant.
