AUDITOR'S REPORT
January 14, 1942
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Winfield A. Schuster, Chairman Douglas, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Douglas for the year ending December 31, 1941, made in ac- cordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Douglas for the year ending December 31, 1941, and submit the following report thereon:
The records of financial transaction of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the reports and the records in the town accountant's office.
The accountant's ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts being checked to the town clerk's records of appropriations and transfers voted. A balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1941, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the pay- ments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.
17
The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The cash on hand December 31, 1941, was verified and the bank balances were reconciled with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer, the agent of the Devise of Moses Wallis, and the library trustees were examined and listed, the in- come and withdrawals being verified.
The tax title deeds on hand were listed and the amounts transferred to the tax title account were verified. The deeds, as listed, were checked to the records in the Registry of Deeds.
Th surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes were examined and verified by com- parison with the assessors' warrants. The recorded collections were checked to the commitment books, the payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's books, the abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
Verification of the outstanding taxes was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and the town clerk were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the public welfare, school, library and water departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
For the cooperation 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,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
