ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE


I have examined the cash receipts and securities in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Treasurer and find them to be as stated in the Treasurer's Report.


The income from Trust Funds in the hands of others has been received for the year 1949 and credited to the proper accounts. The receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books and that payments of the town correctly present the financial status as of December 31, 1949.


I wish to extend my appreciative thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, all officers and employees and especially to the Town Report Committee who gave so freely of their time in the compiling of this report.
