EARL M. SCOTT, Wilbraham.


Certificate of Auditor.


I have carefully examined the accounts of the Selectmen for the past year and find orders drawn on the Treasurer for all bills paid, and receipts for all expenditures except those for state and military aid ; also footings and items of their books correct as given in their report.


I have also examined the accounts of the Treasurer and find them correct as reported, with proper vouchers for all payments and

It has never been customary to take receipts from parties receiving state and military aid. I would respectfully recommend, however, . that in future such receipts be taken, as they are just as necessary as vouchers for any other disbursements.

The diminished school attendance for the winter term as shown by the report is owing to the prevailing illness of the season.


The committee note with pleasure the increased interest of the teachers in supplying themselves with practical helps in their work in the form of educational journals.


It is gratifying to be able to say that the school registers have in the aggregate been more promptly and properly made up by the teachers the present year than in the year previous.
