REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
To the Citizens of Wilmington :
The Overseers of the Poor herewith submit its annual report. We have two inmates boarding at the Wakefield Town Farm where they have the best of care. The Town Farm was let to Mr. S. P. Pike, Jr., the same as in the past few years.
We have allowed the Street Department to set the stone crusher at the Farm and we see no reason why we cannot supply all the crushed stone the streets will need for years to come. The number of outside poor which we have been called upon to aid this year has greatly increased and has caused the department to over draw its appropriation. We do however wish to call attention to the fact that the Town Treasurer has received $2,130.35 for aid furnished different cases, and also there is due the town from the State and City of Everett $1,422.24.

REPORT OE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Herewith I beg to hand you my report for the financial year ending December 31, 1924, giving appropriations, receipts, payments, statement of Town Debt, and Balance Sheet after closing books.
Your attention is called to the overdrafts in the Police Department, Forest Fires, Health and Sanitation, Poor, Aid to Dependent Mothers and Interest Account; also Deficiency in Revenue Account and unpaid bills of Highway and Schools, for which appropriations will have to be made at the Annual Town Meeting.
The Assessors' Valuation book, books of the Tax Collector, Trustees of Trust Funds, S. D. J. Carter Free Lecture Com- mittee, and the Town Clerk's Dog Tax Records have been examined and found in order.
The Treasurer's books and vouchers have been examined, and the cash balance as stated, $36,016.10, is correct.
Respectfully, HARRY R. DEMING, Town Accountant
