INCREASED STATE GRANTS
In 1926 the school board of Wilbraham, believing that it had a just cause, attempted to bring about a re- vision of the law by which Wilbraham's right to partici- pate in the distribution under Part II of the General School Fund Law would be restored. As finally enacted the amendment provided that only those towns paying not over fifty cents of every thousand dollars of state tax should share in the distribution. By the state triennial valuation of 1925 Wilbraham was required to pay fifty- three cents and so did not share. By the revaluation of 1928 Wilbraham is required to pay an even fifty cents out of each thousand and so becomes eligible to participate. The claim of the town for 1928 is $7,519.11 and this amount should be received from the state treasurer on March 10th. Had the state valuation of 1928 been a triennial valuation, the town might expect grants of about the same amount in March 1930, and March 1931; but the last General Court provided for a new triennial valuation to be made in 1929. Until the results of this are announced, the town will not know whether its right to participate will be retained beyond the present year.

GIFTS
Thanks are due Dr. Mary and Miss Adelia Blake for the gift of a victrola and a record cabinet to The Pines school; to Mrs. Stocking for victrola records; to the citi- zens of the Stony Hill neighborhood who paid for wiring the Stony Hill school house; to The Pines teachers who bought a blanket, pillow, and cover for the couch in the nurses's room; to the North Wilbraham P. T. A. for two volley balls and nets, a chinning bar, a bean bag board, a desk for the use of the school nurse, two large screens for the use of the nurse, an electric plate and teacups. I presume the ownership of these last articles remains with the Parent-Teacher Association, but their use by the chil- dren is freely permitted.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC A. WHEELER,

AUDITOR'S REPORT
In February, 1929, I completed an audit of the books and accounts of all the officers instrusted with the receipt or custody of money for the year of 1928, and to the best of my knowledge and belief said accounts are correct.
There was a State Audit made later in the year about which Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of the Division of Accounts, made some rather uncalled for state- ments which he allowed to be published in the daily papers. The result, however, of the State's Audit only confirmed the fact that no money had been lost to the town by the acts of any of the officials.
