FRANCIS X. LANG DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Arrounts State Tinuar, Boston
February 2, 1951
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. John Cernak, Chairman Hatfield, Massachusetts
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, 1950, made in accordance with the provi- sions 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, FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts.

Mr. Francis X. Lang
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 Hatfield for the year ending December 31, 1950, and submit the following report there- on :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were exa- mined, checked, and verified.
The surety bonds of the town clerk, town treasurer, tax collector, and water collector were examined and found to be in proper form.
The recorded receipts for licenses and permits granted by the board of selectmen and issued by the town clerk were checked with the record of licenses and permits granted and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The ledger accounts were ana- lyzed, the recorded receipts and payments were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the approved treasury warrants, and the appropriation ledger accounts were checked with the appropriations and transfers voted by the town as listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings. The ledger record of bills committed for col- lection by the several departments was checked with the records of the departments in which the charges ori- ginated and with the treasurer's record of collections. A balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre-
164
pared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1950.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were ana- lyzed and checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town trea- sury. The payments were compared with the treasury warrants approved by the board of selectmen, and the cash balance on January 13, 1951 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The securities, including savings bank books, repre- senting the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being veri- fied.
The records of payroll deductions for federal taxes, Blue Cross, and the contributory retirement fund were checked. The payments to the Collector of Internal Re- venue, the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., and the county treasurer were verified, and the balances in the general treasury on January 13, 1951 were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax accounts out- standing at the time of the previous examination and the subsequent commitment lists of all taxes were audited and proved with the warrants given by the board of asses- sors for their collection. The recorded collections were checked with the commitment lists, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted,
165
and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
Attention is again called to the taxes outstanding as of January 13, 1951 which date from the levy of 1946. It is again urged that immediate action be taken to collect these delinquent taxes.
The receipts for dog and sporting licenses granted by the town clerk were checked with the record of licenses issued and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game and the town treasurer were verified. The receipts for gasoline storage permit renewals were checked with the applications on file and the payments to the treasurer were verified. The town clerk's cash balance on January 13, 1951 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The recorded receipts from the town hall rentals were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on January 13, 1951 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 inspector of slaughtering and of the highway, public welfare, vet- erans' services, school, and cemetery departments were examined. The charges were listed and compared with the accountant's record of commitments, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treas- urer, the abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
Attention is again called to the departmental ac- counts which have been outstanding for a considerable
166
time, and it is again urged that immediate action be taken to collect these accounts.
The recorded receipts of the school department for school lunches, the dental clinic, and the high school ath- letic program were checked and the payments to the treas- urer were verified.
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 commitments reported to the accountant, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treas- urer, the abatements were checked, the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledg- er, and the cash balance on January 13, 1951 was proved by actual count of the cash on hand.
There are a large number of water accounts out- standing and prompt action should be taken to clear these accounts from the books.
Verification of the outstanding tax and water ac- counts was obtained 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 addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental ac- counts, together with tables showing the trust and in- vestment 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.
