Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hatfield for the year ending December 31, 1939, made in accordance with the pro- visions 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:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hatfield for the year ending December 31, 1939, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or ccommitting bills for collection, were ex- amined, checked and verified.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records of the departments collect- ing money for the town and with the treasurer's cash book. The expenditures were compared with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's cash book.
The appropriations and transfers voted by the town were listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings and were checked with the accountant's appropriation ledger accounts .
The ledger record of departmental accounts receivable was checked with the records of the departments in which the transactions originated and with the treasurer's record of receipts.
The ledger was analyzed, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1939.
66
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records of the departments collect- ing money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the pay- ments were compared with the treasury warrants, ap- proved by the board of selectmen, authorizing the treas- urer to disburse town funds. The addition of the cash book was verified and the cash balance January 10, 1940, was proved by reconciling the bank balance with a state- ment furnished by the bank and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The securities, including savings bank books, repre- senting the investment of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the in- come being proved and the withdrawals being verified by a comparison with the treasurer's record of receipts.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- aminped and checked in detail. The tax accounts out- standing at the time of the previous examination were audited and proved, and the subsequent commitments of taxes were added and proved with the warrants given by the board of assessors for their collection. The recorded collections were checked with the commitment lists, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the.recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the
67
replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The tax collector's cash balance January 10, 1940, was proved by actual count of the cash on hand.
The record of tax titles held by the town was ex- amined and checked with the treasurer's and the collec- tor's accounts.
It was noted that there are outstanding taxes dating from 1934, and it is again recommended that a determined effort be made to collect these taxes.
The recorded receipts of the sealer of weights and measures were checked with the record of fees charged and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The recorded recipts from rents of the town halls and gymnasium were checked with the record of such rentals. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the outstand- ing acounts were listed and proved, and the cash on hand January 10, 1940, was proved by actual count.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were ex- amined. The recorded receipts for dog and sporting li- censes were checked with the record of licenses issued, the payments to the State and town treasurers were verified and the cash on hand January 10, 1940, was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds filed with the town by the town clerk, treasurer, and tax collector were examined and found to be in proper form.
The receipts for licenses issued by the board of select- men, including milk and oleomargarine licenses, were checked with the record of licenses granted and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified. The surety bonds filed with the town by individuals to whom liquor licenses were issued were examined and found to be in proper form.
68
The records of accounts receivable of the health and public welfare departments were examined. The charges were listed and compared with the commitments reported to the accountant, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements and disallowances were checked, and the outstanding acounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined. The charges for the sale of water and for water services and miscellaneous charges were added and compared with the amounts reported to the accountant, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the abate- ments were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledged.
The water collector's cash on hand January 10, 1940, was proved by actual count.
The receipts of the librarian for fines, etc., were checked with the record of collection, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand January 26, 1940, was counted.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental ac- counts, together with tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.
For the cooperation received from all town officials during the progress 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.
