Mr. Theodore N. Waddell,
Director of Accounts,
Department of Corporations and Taxation,
State House, Boston.
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Douglas for the year ending December. 31, 1933, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collections, were examined and checked.
The books and accounts of the treasurer and accounting officer were examined and checked in detail. The ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts being checked to the town meeting records of appropriations and transfers voted. The cash book was footed and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer. The payments by the treasurer were compared with the selectmen's war- rants authorizing the disbursement of town funds, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1933 was prepared and is appended to this report.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ments of the various trust funds in the custody of the town treasur- er and the treasurer of the library trustees were examined and list- ed and the income was proved.
The treasurer's cash balance on March 2, 1934, was proved by a reconciliation with statements furnished by the banks,
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked in detail. The commitments of the tax levies were proved and checked with the assessors' warrants, the recorded col- lections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, as re- corded on the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books " as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and town clerk were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified,
20
The surety bonds of the treasurer, tax collector, and town clerk were examined and found to be in proper form. The bond furnished by the treasurer of the library trustees could not be located, although a receipt for the payment of the premium was available.
The records of the water department were examined and checked, the recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's records, the outstanding accounts were listed and proved, and the cash balance was verified by an actual count of the cash on hand on March 5, 1934.
It is recommended that separate appropriations be voted for the salaries and expenses of the different town officers, so that the accounting officer may be able to set up the departmental accounts separately.
The tax title deeds on hand were listed and the amounts transferred to tax titles were verified.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and ac- counts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the town infirmary, and of the public welfare, school, and library departments were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer being verified.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, sum- maries of the tax and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the trust fund transactions.
For the co-operation extended by the several town officials during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON,
Chief Accountant
