An analysis of the accounts was compiled from the various records and data obtained from the examination, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town as of May 23, 1927.
From this balance sheet it will be noted that there is a revenue deficit of $604.75 in addition to the overdrawn accounts of 1927 of $609.64. This revenue deficit and the overdrawn accounts should be provided for by appropria- tion in order that the treasurer may be able to comply with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws, in the issue and payment of loans in anticipation of revenue.
The records of receipts from licenses issued by the select- men and town clerk were examined and checked with the
73
TOWN OF NORWELL
records of licenses issued, and the payments to the state, county, and town treasurer, were verified. I wish to call attention to the fact that all moneys collected on account of licenses issued for the town and the hunting and fishing licenses issued for the State should be paid the town and state treasurers monthly.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the trust funds in the custody of the select- ment, library trustees and the town treasurer were per- sonally examined, and the income and disbursments were verified.
The funds in the custody of the selectmen and the library trustees have been placed in the custody of the town treas- urer, and all future transactions will be handled through the treasurer's office.
The surety bonds of the treasurer and the tax collector were examined and found to be in proper form. The town clerk, however, has not filed a bond as required by Section 13, Chapter 41, General Laws.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the accounts of all other departments receiving or disburs- ing funds for the town were examined and verified.
While engaged in making the audit I received the co-oper- ation of the several town officials, and on behalf of my as- sistant and for myself I wish to express appreciation for the assistance rendered and the courtesies extended.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner

SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture
LOUIS H. OGDEN, NORWELL DIRECTOR
Following is a report of work done in your town by the agents of the Plymouth County Extension Service (Ply- mouth County Aid to Agriculture) during the year 1927. This is not a full report of extension activities by which our town may have benefitted because many of our meetings are sectional and advertised throughout the whole county, or a portion of it.
