Director of Accounts
March 13, 1956
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Joseph J. Wendlowski, Jr., 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, 1955, 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. William Schwartz, Assist- ant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Director of Accounts.
117
Mr. Herman B. Dine, Director of Accounts, Dept. 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, 1955, and submit the following re- port thereon :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or sending out bills for collection, were ex- amined and checked.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The ledger accounts were analyzed; the receipts as recorded were checked with the treasurer's records of receipts; and the payments were compared with the approved treasury warrants. The appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings, the trans- fers from the reserve fund were compared with the au- thorizations of the finance committee; and the other ac- counts were checked with information in the departments in which the transactions originated. A balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1955.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the records of the departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which
118
money was paid into the town treasury, while the pay- ments were compared with the treasury warrants ap- proved by the selectmen. The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on January 28, 1956 was approved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of payroll deductions for Federal taxes, the county retirement system, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined and checked. The deductions were listed; the payments to the Director of Internal Revenue, the county treasurer, and the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., were verified; and the balances in the gen- eral treasury on January 28, 1956 were proved.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in the 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 and with the accountant's records.
The payments on account of maturing debt and in- terest were proved by comparison with the amounts fall- ing due during the period of the audit and with the can- celled securities on file.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax and excise ac- counts outstanding at the time of the previous examina- tion, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and proved with the assessors' warrants. The recorded collections were checked with the commitment lists; the payments to the treasurer were verified; the abatements as recorded were compared with the asses- sors' record of abatements granted; the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved with the accountant's
119
ledger controls; and the cash on hand January 28, 1956 was proved by actual count.
It is recommended that a determined effort be made to obtain settlement of the past due tax and excise ac- counts which date back to 1952.
The appropriations voted by the town were listed from the records of the town clerk and compared with the aggregate amount raised by the assessors in the determi- nation of the tax rate for 1955.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were examined and checked. The receipts from dog and sport- ing licenses, as well as from gasoline storage renewals, were checked with the records of licenses and permits issued. The payments to the town treasurer and the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash on hand January 28, 1956 was proved by actual count.
The receipts for licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and the chief of police were checked with the records of licenses and permits granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand January 28, 1956 was proved by actual count.
The recorded receipts from court fines were proved with the records of the district court.
The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the record of work performed, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The receipts for the use of town-owned highway equipment were compared with the highway department's records of charges made for Chapter 81 and Chapter 90 highway work.
120
The records of accounts receivable of the inspector of slaughtering and of the public welfare, highway, vet- erans' services, and cemetery departments were examined and checked. The charges were listed and compared with the accountant's record of commitments; the re- ported payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts; the abatements were verified; and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger controls.
The records for the rental of town property were examined. The charges were listed and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of the school nurse pertaining to dental clinic receipts were examined. The collections were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The accounts of the school lunch program were ex- amined and checked. The receipts from the sale of lunches and from Federal and State reimbursements were listed, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The receipts from the sale of tickets for athletics events in connection with the athletic program were checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of the librarian pertaining to collections for overdue or lost books were audited, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined and checked. The charges for the use of water and for miscellaneous services were checked and compared with the commitments reported to the town accountant. The collections and abatements, as record- ed, were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger. The cash on hand January 28, 1956 was proved by actual count.
121
The outstanding tax, excise, water, and depart- mental accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are cor- rect.
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, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the several trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

The Athenian Dath
We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceas- ingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty, thus in all these ways we will transmit this city not only less, but greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.
