STATE AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Warren L. Ide, Chairman, Berkley, Massachusetts.


February 21, 1938


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Berkley for the period from November 23, 1933, and of the ac- counts of the tax collector from August 14, 1934, to December 31, 1937, made in accordance 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


14


ANNUAL REPORT


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 general accounts of the town of Berkley for the period from November 23, 1933, and of the collector's accounts from August 14, 1934, the dates of the previous audits, to November 27, 1937. Due to the condition disclosed in the exam- ination of the collector's accounts, the audit was brought up to December 31, 1937, the following re- port being submitted thereon :


The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or dis- bursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked in detail.


A cash shortage in the amount of $4,172.56 as of December 31, 1937, was disclosed in the accounts of Wendell D. Conant, collector of taxes, who re- signed from office December 30, 1937.


The books and records of the collector of taxes were requested on November 29, 1937, and the col- lector stated that all of his cash books for the levies of 1935 and prior years had been stolen from his residence in March, 1936, and that he had not kept cash books since that time although the tax levies of 1936 and 1937 were committeed to him subsequent to March, 1936. Attention is here called to the provisions of Section 7, Chapter 60, General Laws, relative to the keeping of cash books by the col- lector.


15


ANNUAL REPORT


The commitments books in the custody of the collector were examined. The recommitment of taxes at the time of the previous audit and all subse- quent commitments of taxes were analyzed and veri- fied by a comparison with the warrants issued by the board of assessors for their collection. The record- ed collections appearing on the commitment books were compared with the payment to the treasurer, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed.


In order to verify the outstanding tax accounts as listed, notices were sent to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as ow- ing money to the town. A number of replies were received from persons who claimed that their taxes had been paid. All these claims were investigated, and several taxpayers substantiated their claims by presenting proper proof of payment of taxes and in- terest which had not been entered on the commit- ment books of the collector.


Additional claims were made that taxes have been paid but not credited on the commitment books, but evidence of payment had not been produced at the completion of the audit. Any additional claims which may subsequently be proved as having been paid and not entered should be added to the cash shortage previously mentioned, and the temporary collector credited with the amounts found to have been paid to the former collector.


A detailed list of all the taxes outstanding as of December 31, 1937, was prepared for the conveni- ence of the temporary collector, and the total amount outstanding on each of the several levies was given


16


ANNUAL REPORT


to the board of assessors for their use in preparing the recommitment warrants.


As may be judged from the amount of the col- lector's cash shortage, the collector has not made weekly payment to the treasurer, as required by Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws.


It is recommended that determined action be taken at once to secure settlement of the outstanding tax levies.


The selectmen's records of charges against ap- propriations were incomplete, it being necessary to analyze the treasurer's warrants and classify the payments. General ledger accounts were compiled, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condi- tion of the town as of December 31, 1937, was pre- pared and is appended to this report.


It is recommended that steps be taken toward the establishment of a proper system of accounting, so that complete records may be available in a single town office and so that the true financial condition of the town may be determined at any time.


It was noted that receipts for January, 1938, were entered in the treasurer's cash book as of De- cember, 1937, and that payments by the town treas- urer were made after January 10, 1938, for bills incurred during the previous year. In this connec- tion attention is called to the provisions of Section 56, Chapter 44, General Laws, relative to the financial year of towns.


In connection with federal grants received on account of old age assistance, attention is called to Section 7, Chapter 436, Acts of 1936, which requires


17


ANNUAL REPORT


that the money received shall be kept in separate accounts and expended for the purposes specified by the State Department of Public Welfare. Payments on approved cases should be charged directly against the proper grant account, and any balance in these accounts at the close of the year should be carried forward.


A deficit of $284.28 in the overlay account for 1931 should be raised by the assessors in accordance with the provisions of Section 23, Chapter 59, Gen- eral Laws.


An examination of the town clerk's records of town meetings disclosed the fact that a number of appropriations were overdrawn in 1934, 1935, and 1936, and provided for in the following years, and several appropriations were overdrawn on December 31, 1937. To incur liabilities in excess of the ap- propriations voted by the town is contrary to the pro- visions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws, which reads as follows :


"No department of any city or town, ex- cept Boston, shall incur liability in excess of the appropriation made for the use of such department, except in cases of extreme emer- gency involving the health or safety of per- sons or property, and then only by a vote in a city of two thirds of the members of the city council, and in a town by a vote of two thirds of the selectmen."


Attention is also called to Section 62, Chapter 44, General Laws, which reads as follows:


"Any city, town or district officer who knowingly violates, or authorizes or directs any official or employee to violate any provi-


18


ANNUAL REPORT


sion of this chapter or any other provision of general law relating to the incurring of liabil- ity or expenditure of public funds on account of any city, town or district, or any provision of special law relating to the incurring of lia- bility or expenditure of public funds, as afore- said, shall, except as otherwise provided, be punished by a fine of not more than one thou- sand dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both; and the mayor, se- lectmen, prudential committee, or commis- sioners, shall, and five taxpayers may, report such violation to the district attorney who shall investigate and prosecute the same."


To provide for extraordinary or unforseen ex- penses, the town may, at an annual meeting, ap- propriate a sum of money for a reserve fund. Trans- fers from the reserve fund provided under Section 6, Chapter 40, General Laws, may be made by the fi- nance committee, but such transfers must be secured before the liabilities are incurred.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The record- ed receipts were analyzed and compared with the collections as recorded in the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasurer, while the disbursements were checked with the se- lectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds. The cash book was footed and the cash balance was verified by a reconciliation of the bank account with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.


19


ANNUAL REPORT


The records of town debt, revenue loans, and interest were examined and listed, and the payments were verified by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.


The savings bank books representing the invest- ment of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the in- come being proved and the transfers to the town verified.


The records of tax titles taken by the town were found to be incomplete. The necessary information was compiled and checked with the collector's records, and the deeds on hand were checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds. A proper and complete record of all tax titles taken by the town should be kept in the future as required by Section 50, Chapter 60, General Laws.


The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts from dog and sporting licenses were checked with the records of licenses issued. The payments to the state and town treasurers were verified.


It is again recommended that a report of the audit, or a summary of its essential features, be pub- lished by the town clerk in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 40, Chapter 44, General Laws.


In addition to the departments mentioned, the available records of all other departments receiving money for the town were checked and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified.


The surety bonds filed by the several officials for the faithful performance of their duties were ex- amined and found to be in proper form.


20


ANNUAL REPORT


There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and the collector's shortage, summaries of the tax and tax title accounts, together with tables showing the condition of the various trust funds.


During the progress of the audit, cooperation was received from the various town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


Herman B. Dine Assistant Director of Accounts
