REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
The cash on hand and cash deposits in the various Trust Funds are as stated in the Treasurer's Report.
The receipts as reported by the Collector of Taxes and the Treas- urer were as stated in the reports of those officials, and the pay- ments, from the various appropriations for the year were as stated in the foregoing report.
The balance sheet of the Town as of December 31, 1934, is in agree- ment with the books of the Town and, in my opinion, it correctly pre- sents the financial position of the Town as of December 31, 1934.
The unpaid taxes as of December 31, 1934 have increased materially over the corresponding date in 1933 as have the Tax Titles held by the Town necessitating the carrying over of $35,000.00 of Revenue Loan Notes.
