REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Herewith I beg to hand you my report as Town Accountant cover- ing financial transactions of the Town for the year 1932, showing ap- propriations, receipts, payments, loans made and payments thereon, to- gether with statement of Town Debt and Balance Sheet after closing of books December 31, 1932.
The Assessors' Valuation and Commitment books have been check- ed, as well as accounts of departments having receipts or expenditures.
The accounts of the Treasurer have been examined, and cash bal- ance shown, $60,077.57, has been verified.
Through your Board I wish to call the attention of the tax payers to the fact that although 1932 was a critical year for many cities and towns, Wilmington had no departmental over-drafts, and furthermore that we have carried to Excess and Deficiency Account unexpended balances amounting to $1745.33. The only account for which an ap- propriation will have to be made in 1933 is that of Interest, $1296.35. This deficit was caused by our being obliged to charge to 1932 Interest discount on temporary loans amounting to $2666.66, which under normal conditions would have been paid when notes matured in 1933.
