The payments on account of interest and debt 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 treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the expenditures verified.
In order to prove the treasurer's cash it was neces- sary to reconcile the monthly bank balances with the bank statements for the entire period covered by the audit and to check all cancelled checks to the warrants.
The additional time required to reconcile the treas- urer's cash and to adjust the accountant's ledger increased the length of the audit and consequently its cost.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination were audited and proved, and all subsequent commitment lists of taxes were added and proved with the warrants given by the board of assessors for their collection. The recorded collections were checked to the commitment lists, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were com- pared with the assessers' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the adjusted ledger accounts.
The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The collector's cash on hand December 31, 1936, was proved by actual count.
The tax title deeds representing liens on real estate taken by the town for the non-payment of taxes were ex-
58
amined, listed, and checked with the records at the Regis- try of Deeds.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were ex- amined. The receipts for dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued, the payments to the State and town treasurers were verified, and the cash on hand December 31, 1936, was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the several officials required to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The receipts from town hall rents were checked with the record of hall rentals, and the payments to the treas- urer were compared with the treasurer's record of re- ceipts.
The records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures were checked with the record of fees charged, and the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The departmental record of accounts receivable of the public welfare and health departments was examined. The charges for aid rendered were added and compared with the commitments reported to the town accountant, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements and disallowances were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the adjusted ledger accounts.
The librarian's record of fines collected was checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined and checked in detail. The recorded charges for the sale of water were added, the collections as re- corded were checked with the commitment lists, the pay-
59
ments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked, and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
In checking the water department accounts, a large number of uncollected accounts were noted, some of which date back to 1930, and it is therefore recommended that an effort be made to correct this condition.
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, as well as tables showing the trust fund transac- tions.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was extended by all 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.

Report of Town Accountant
To the Board of Selectmen, Hatfield, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit the report of your Town Account- ant for the year ending December 31, 1937.
I would like to call your attention to the item appear- ing on the balance sheet as an ovedrawn account. It would appear from the balance sheet that the town had overdrawn on the Chapter 81 account but this is not the case. It has been the custom to pay bills from the 81 ac- count previous to receiving reimbursement from the Com- monwealth. Under a very recent ruling we are not al- lowed to continue this method but must set up a revenue account. In order to do this it was necessary to list the amount twice. First as an overdrawn account on the debit side, then as a revenue reserved until collected ac- count on the credit side.
