REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
I have examined the cash deposits and securities in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Town Treasurer and find them as stated in the Treasurer's Report.
I certify that the receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books and that the payments, as shown for the various departments, were as stated in the foregoing report.
I certify that the foregoing Balance Sheet of the town as of Decem- ber 31, 1930 is in agreement with the books, and that it correctly repre- sents the financial standing of the town.
During the year I have set up a permanent record of outstanding debt as provided by the General Laws.
I take this opportunity to thank the various heads of departments for supplying their annual reports promptly, as such co-operation helps considerably in compiling this report. Your attention is called to the fact that I have been unable to publish any report from the Park Com- missioners for the past two years.
CARL H. RUSSELL,
Town Accountant.
