to determine.

In the first class _ to wit, bills exclusively
for account of the Corporation, the Committee
find that in 131 cases the bills receipted are
for a larger sum than the amount credited
by the Superintendent, the aggregate of which

discrepancies is	$4,152.14
In seven cases, an excess was credited of	54.50
which leaves a balance of	$4,097.64
The difference in the bills	___
in whole or in part for granite is	$4,377.74
To which we add the bills	___
of O'Donnell and Black referred	___
to in the last report	463.25
___	___
which makes a total of	$8,938.63

Thus much is derived from a comparison
of bills with the accounts of the Superintendent.

The examination of the books shows that in
numerous instances amounts are charged
to proprietors in the Leger or Journal or both
which are not accounted for in the Cash book;
and others again which have been credited only
in part. _ Until the final the final close of
the examination, we cannot state precisely what
this deficiency is; but the approximate amount
is $600 _ which added to the previous amount
makes a total of $9,538.63 unaccounted for.

All of which is respectfully submitted,
For the Committee, Chas. G. Nazro, Chairman
Boston Aug. 3. 1861.
