The ledger records of departmental accounts re- ceivable were checked with the records in the depart- ments committing the accounts and with the treasurer's record of collections.
99
The appropriations and transfers voted by the town were listed from the town clerk's record of town meet- ings and were checked with the appropriation ledger accounts.
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 Decem- ber 31, 1944.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The pay- ments were compared with the treasury warrants ap- proved by the board of selectmen, and the cash balance January 29, 1945, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The securities, including savings bank books, rep- resenting the investment of the trust and investment funds in custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved, and the withdrawals being verified by comparison with the treasurer's record of receipts.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitment lists of all taxes were added and reconciled with the war- rants given by the board of assessors for their collec- tion. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the town accountant's ledger.
It was noted that the tax collector has failed to collect interest on delinquent motor vehicle excise taxes and fees for demands on delinquent poll taxes. In this
100
connection attention is called to Section 2, Chapter 60 A and Section 15 A, Chapter 60, General Laws.
The record of tax titles held by the town was ex- amined and checked with the tax collector's and the town treasurer's accounts.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were examined. 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 January 29, 1945, was proved by actual count.
The charges for the rentals of the town hall were listed, the recorded collections were checked, the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand January 29, 1945, was proved by actual count.
The recorded receipts of the sealer of weights and measures were checked with the record of work done, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of accounts receivable of the highway, public welfare, military aid, and school departments were examined. The charges were added and compared with the accountant's record of commitments, and the payments to the treasurer and abatements were checked and verified.
The recorded receipts of the school department for school lunches and for miscellaneous charges were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand January 29, 1945, was proved by actual count.
The recorded receipts of the librarian for fines, etc., were checked, the payments to the treasurer were veri- fied, and the cash on hand February 7, 1945, was proved by actual count.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined. The charges for the sale of water and for water services were added and compared with the
101
commitments reported to the town accountant, the re- corded collections were checked with the commitment list, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were filed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The water collector's cash on hand January 29, 1945, was proved by actual count.
The outstanding tax and water accounts were furth- er 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.
It was noted that the collections of the cemetery committee for interments, and care of lots have been retained by the committee and used to pay for labor charges. In this connection attention is called to Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws.
The cemetery appropriation voted by the town should be sufficient to meet all cemetery charges, while all money collected should be paid into the town treas- ury.
Attention is also called to Section 27, Chapter 114, General Laws.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the trust and investment fund transactions.
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.
