REPORT OF SELECTMEN


To the Citizens of Scituate:


In presenting this year's report for your considera- tion, we feel gratified at the financial condition of our Town to-day. The result has been obtained by the co- operation of the heads of the several departments that "have worked solely for the Town's interest, analysis of which will be found in the accountant's report.


The auditor's report you will find interesting and we think will satisfy the layman that no mistake was made by the installation of the State Accounting system, an accurate check-up on each department is made, and over-drafts are a thing of the past.


The Selectmen were appointed and have served on several committies, one of the most important at this time we think is Road Committee. The rapid strides in securing better roads at no greater expense than under the old system, and with the work mapped out a year in advance, we feel certain more has been accomplished than under the old "hit and miss" method.


Several complaints have been made during the year about our guide boards and we think steps should be taken to enlighten the travelling public as requested by G. L. Chap. 85-sec. 1. In conformity with the law the boundary lines between the Town of Scituate and the Towns of Marshfield, Norwell and Cohasset were per- ambulated this year, bounds and street marks were found in good order, except one in the Gulf stream and arrange- ments have been made for its correction. Signs designat- ing the Town lines between Scituate and Cohasset were erected by the Town of Cohasset, Scituate bearing one- half of the expense.


The increase in Auto traffic has presented many difficult problems and one of the most important is side- walks and we think the time is now here that some steps be made to safeguard our pedestrians and our sadly


7


Report of Selectmen


neglected sidewalks will have to be made passable. They should be of a permanent construction and the surface such as to encourage the using of it in preference to the street; there should be a curbing along its edge and the- street could be built of full width with proper gutters next to curb. Clear away the bushes, etc., and build. sidewalks to the wall or party line. We would suggest a. committee similar to the Road Committee be appointed, and a certain sum of money be appropriated each year and sections of sidewalks be built if abutters are will- ing to contribute his section given preference.


The traffic and parking problems of Front Street is still unsolved, complaints have been made to this office, by both customers and merchants of that section of being unable to transact business on account of congestion that. prevails during the summer months. Other parties are unable to get in and out of their garages because the entrance to them has been blocked by the parking of cars. As the traffic is increasing greatly every year, some steps must be taken to meet this demand. The at- traction of shore line and water front is responsible for- our enormous growth the last few years, and the plan submitted to the Town Meeting held Nov. 28th we are confident would have relieved the situation as far as: traffic and parking are concerned for the next twenty -. five years; and the changing of the unsightly and un -. sanitary conditions that now exist to an attractive water front would be a valuable asset to the Town and the. expense of such improvements would be met to a great. extent by the increase in value of adjacent property. It- works out very satisfactorily in other towns and we see no. reason why it shouldn't do the same here.


The question of a new Town Hall has been put from: time to time, and it may be some years hence before we will be able to erect one, but in regard to Town offices: it is imperative that something should be done now. A committee could be appointed to have plans prepared for


8


Report of Selectmen


a building that would meet the requirements of the Town, having a section for the Town offices built first and the rest of the building at some future time. The detailed reports of the several departments follow, also the re- ports of several committees.


Respectfully Submitted. ERNEST R. SEAVERNS, HERBERT G. SUMMERS, NATHANIEL TILDEN, Selectmen of Scituate.

REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF SCITUATE


FROM JANUARY I TO DECEMBER 31, 1924


Made in accordance with the Provisions of Section 35, Chapter 44, General Laws


February 4, 1926.


To the Board of Selectmen,


Mr. Ernest R. Seaverns, Chairman,


Scituate, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Scituate for the period from Jan- uary 1 to December 31, 1925, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report sent to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division.


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 Scituate for the period from January 1 to December 31, 1925, and submit the following report thereon :


The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving money for the town or committing bills for collection, were ex- amined and checked for the period covered by the audit.


The treasurer's cash book was added, analyzed, and


10


State Auditor's Report


checked with the records in the several departments col- lecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The dis- bursements were compared with the warrants authoriz- ing them.


The cash on hand January 19, 1926, was verified and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement of the Rockland Trust Company.


Appended to this report are tables showing a recon- ciliation of the treasurer's cash.


The accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked in detail. The commitment books were. footed and reconciled, the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's books, and the abatements were checked. to the records of the assessors, being found to be correct.


The outstanding tax accounts were listed and proved, being further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books: as owing money to the town. Among the replies re- ceived, are two, which are now being investigated, claim- ing payment of 1923 and 1924 taxes, respectively. With these exceptions, I am satisfied that the accounts, as list- ed, are correct.


The cash in the hands of the collector was verified by an actual count.


Appended to this report are tables showing a recon- ciliation of the collector's cash and summaries of the tax accounts.


The appropriation accounts kept by the town ac- countant were checked with the town clerk's records of appropriations and transfers as voted by the town, and. the recorded charges against them were checked with the records of payments by the town treasurer. The transfers from the reserve account were checked with the records of the advisory committee, and the vouchers on file were examined.


The town clerk's records of licenses issued for dogs


11


State Auditor's Report


and for hunting and fishing were examined, and pay- ments to the state and county treasurers were verified.


The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and the board of health were examined, and the receipts were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's cash book.


The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and also the records of receipts of the school department, were examined, and the receipts were compared with the payments to the treasurer.


The surety bonds given by the treasurer and the col- lector for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. A receipted voucher for the premium on the town clerk's bond was on file, but no bond has been issued. I would, therefore, recommend that a bond be furnished and kept on file.


The savings bank books in the custody of the select -. men and overseers of the poor, representing the invest- ment of the various trust funds, were examined and found to be correct.


Tables, showing the condition of the several funds, together with a balance sheet showing the financial con- dition of the town as of December 31, 1925, are appended to this report.


It was noted that the selectmen have followed many of the recommendations made in reports of previous audits; the work of the collector's department shows im- provement; and the town accountant, with the co-opera- tion of the heads of the various departments, has kept the accounts in a careful and accurate manner.


For the co-operation received and the courtesies ex- tended by the several town officials while engaged in the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD H. FENTON,


Chief Examiner.
