State Audit


STATE HOUSE


Boston, June 2, 1931


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Wendell F. Davis, Chairman, Acton, Massachusetts


GENTLEMEN:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the Town of Acton for the period from September 27, 1927 to April 11, 1931, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant 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:


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Acton for the period from September 27, 1927, the date of the previous audit, to April 11, 1931, and report as follows thereon:


The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, were examined and checked for the period of the audit.


The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's records, and the disbursements were checked with the war- rants authorizing payments and with the treasurer's books.


The appropriations and transfers voted by the town, as shown by the town clerk's records, were checked to the accountant's ledger. The ledger accounts were analyzed, and a balance sheet. which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on April 11, 1931.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared 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


11


payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book was footed and the re- ceipts were analyzed.


The cash on hand April 11, 1931, was verified by an actual count, and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank.


The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


The accounts of the town treasurer as water district treasurer were examined and checked. The cash balance on April 11, 1931, was verified by an actual count of the cash on hand and by a reconciliation of the bank account.


The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the trust funds in the custody of the treasurer and of the trustees of the Goodnow Fund were examined. The income was proved and the disburse- ments were verified. It is recommended that all new trust fund bequests be accepted by vote of the town.


In examining the compensation insurance policy carried by the town, it was noted that it included such town employees as the firemen and the nurse, although Sections 68 to 75, Chapter 152, General Laws, as amended by Chapter 309, Acts of 1927, extend the provisions of compensation in- surance for municipal employees to laborers, workmen, and mechanics only. The payment of premiums on classes of employees not included in the Workmen's Compensation Act should, therefore, not be made.


The receipts from the sales of cemetery land should be reserved for appropriation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15, Chapter 114, General Laws.


It was noted that the annual salaries of the firemen were paid to the treasurer of the fire company, and that the regular pay-rolls of the high- way department were paid to the superintendent of streets for disburse- ment by him to the payees whose names appeared on the pay-roll. Pay- ments of the highway and fire pay-rolls should be made only by the town treasurer, who should draw individual checks to the several payees, as re- quired by Section 35, Chapter 41, General Laws.


The accounts of the collector of taxes for the period covered by the audit were examined and checked. The commitments were verified, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, and the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted. The outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled, and further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies re- ceived thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of receipts of the town clerk's department for hunting and fishing and for dog licenses issued were examined, and the payments to the State and the County, respectively, were verified. The town clerk's cash balance on May 1, 1931, was in his personal checking account, and it


12


is therefore recommended that such money be kept in a separate account in the name of the town clerk of Acton.


The surety bonds of the town treasurer and of the tax collector were examined. No surety bond was on file for the town clerk as required by Section 13, Chapter 41, General Laws.


In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the accounts of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and checked.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax accounts, and schedules showing the condition of the several trust funds.


For the courtesies extended by the various town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted, EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
