The recorded receipts of the school department for the sale of supplies and miscellaneous charges were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The librarians' records of receipts for fines was checked, the payments to the treasurer being verified.
Ledger accounts were compiled and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1943.
The financial condition of the town, as shown by the balance sheet, is excellent.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.
For the cooperation received from all town officials during the progress of the audit I wish, on behalf of my assistants, and for myself, to express appreciation.
