 MT Soule has made reports from time to time to the Committee and the Committee has instructed him to make further searches in every case where his work uncovered serious irregulari- ties. Realizing that minor errors are certain to occur where a person un- skilled as an accountant or clerk is en- ployed to keep books or records, the Committee has only gone back in its investigation so far as was necessary in order to trace serious error, or where it appeared from the reports of MT Soule then before the Committee that some person was involved who might be cleared by the more thorough search.

 We submit herewith the several de- tailed reports which Mir Soule has made to us, together with his summary report, and would recommend that the originals be kept on file in the town clerk office. If it is necessary to use the documents outside of the town re- cords, the several members of the Con- mittee have complete copies, some one of which may be procured in case of necessity.

 End. That as taxes have been abated without any proper record thereof; that the Selectmen be instructed hereafter to keep record book. sh lowing in de- tail what taxes have been abated.
 3rd. That as various irregularities appear in the collection of taxes:
 (a) That the tax collectors he cen sured for failing to file tax liens and for failure to collect and return to the Town the fees for recording tax liens, in accordance with thier duties under Section 24O4 of the Statutes.
 (b) That the Town bring suit under Section 2407 of the Statutes against delinquents who have not paid taxes in the cases where the tax collectors have failed to file liens against the sev- eral properties.
 (c) That copy of Mr Soules' re- port concerning errors and omissions in the tax collectors books be given to the present tax collector with instruc- tions to collect what can be obtained without suit within 90 days and to bring suit for any other sums due where it appears possible to collect the amount due the Town.
 (d) That copy of Mir Soule's re- port concerning liens uncollected be al- so given to the tax collector with in-
