Dear Sir - Receipt of your favor of the 7th Inst., together with cert- ified copy of resolution adopted by your town board,: is received. I assume that your board is fully conscious of the magnitude of the task embraced in the language of the resolution. An audit of the fiscal affairs of your town covering a period of sixteen years is some- what beyond the physical ability of our department to perform. The request, however, has been entered, and it is possible that when we reach the point whereby it can be taken up with an amend- ment to your request, i -t will be considered. You are doubtless aware that in the absence of indications of fraud, our examinations cover all transactions for complete fiscal period preceding the current period existing between the close of the last completed fiscal year and the date of commencement of the examin- ation. This plan usually suffices. Very truly yours MORRIS S. TRTMAINE Comptroller (signed} by (illegiblef Deputy Comptroller A communication dated March 11th was received from Mr. C. W.
