The contents of report labeled "Report of Auditing Committee 1839"
The Committee on Towns Accounts, to whom
was recommitted their first report with
instructions to revise and make additions
Thereto - Ask leave further to report,
That they were unable to obtain a statement
Of the Contracts entered into, on account
Of the Town and remaining unpaid, in season
for their printed report.
your Committee are also aware that they
will be expected to assign a reason why
an account setting forth the Debits & Assets
of the Town is not included- I in reply
will only say, that owing to various
causes it was found utterly impracticable
to present any other than a very imperfect
statement & that therefore the omission of
this important item was their only alternative.
The Committee ask to be discharged from
the further consideration of the subject
referred to them.

Do " Selectmen " 20.00
Do " Firewards " 25.00
