AUDITOR'S REPORT.
Thornton, N. H., Feb. 15, 1908.
With the exception of the lump-it-all-together-and- jump-at-it account with the collector for 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904, which is neither correctly cast nor properly vouched, I find the accounts of the Selectmen, Treasurer, Collector, Town Clerk, Overseer of Poor, School Board and Road Agents correctly cast and properly vouched, and it appears to me that the affairs of the town have been pru- dently managed for the year ending Feb. 15, 1908.
It appears from the records that the Collector for 1905 and 1906 is short in his cash approximately $261.90. This account will probably be settled before the 12th of March,
All of which is respectfully submitted by
ALFERD BOWEN, Auditor.
