Town Auditor's Report
From many diversified checks made on the Town Collector's books and reports and the Town Treasurer's books and bank reports, it is my strong belief that all money collected and re- ceived for the Town of Wilbraham during the entire year of 1961 has been properly recorded and pomptly deposited, and that considering all said receipts, all temporary loans, the cash balance of December 31, 1960, and all disbursements made during the entire year, the Town Treasurer's reported cash balance of December 31, 1961 is correct and fully accounted for by safe bank deposits and cash on hand.
