AUDITOR'S REPORT.
There have been frequent examinations of the accounts of the Tax Collectors during the year. The Assessors' and Collector's books for 1902 were compared previous to the commitment. The bills presented each month have been examined before payment and afterwards checked with the Selectmen's order book and Treasurer's accounts. I have examined the Treasurer's cash account, checking all credit items and such of the debits as admit of it, and found the same correct. The balance remaining in the treasury at the close of the year is thirteen hundred and sixty-seven dollars and seventy-six cents ($1,367.76).
