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, 1957, 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

Mr. Herman B. Dine 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, 1957, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing town funds or sending out bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the reports and records in the town accountant's office.
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 record of receipts, and the payments were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants approved by the selectmen. The appropriation accounts were checked with the records of appropriations voted by the town as listed from the town clerk's records of town meetings. The transfers from the reserve fund were compared with the authorizations of the finance committee, and all other accounts were checked with the records 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, 1957.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records in the departments
115
collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants approved by the selectmen. The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on January 25, 1958 was proved by actual count of cash in the office, by reconcilia- tion of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, and by examination of a savings bank book.
The records of payroll deductions on account of Fed- eral taxes, county retirement, and Blue Cross were ex- amined and checked. The deductions were listed, the payments to the proper agencies were verified, and the balances in the general treasury as of January 25, 1958 were proved.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved, and the withdrawals being verified by comparison with the treas- urer's record of receipts and with the accountant's ledger.
The payments on account of maturing debt and in- terest were compared with the amounts falling due dur- ing the period of the audit and with the cancelled securi- ties and coupons on file.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined 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 reconciled 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 checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger. The cash balance on January 25, 1958 was proved by actual count of the cash on hand.
116
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
It is again recommended that the tax collector make a determined effort to bring about a complete settlement of the delinquent tax accounts.
The appropriations voted by the town meeting were listed from the records of the town clerk and were com- pared wtih the aggregate amounts raised by the assessors in the determination of the 1957 tax rate.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The receipts for dog and sporting licenses, as well as from gasoline registrations, were checked with the records of licenses and permits issued. The payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash on hand January 25, 1958 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of receipts of the selectmen and the seal- er of weights and measures, as well as of the police, school, and library departments, and of all other departments col- lecting money for the town or committing bills for collec- tion, were examined and checked with the treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the accounting officer.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined and checked. The charges for the sale of water and for connections and miscellaneous charges were proved, the recorded collections and abatements were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand January 25, 1958 was proved by actual count.
117
It is again recommended that the water collector make a determined effort to collect the past due water ac- counts.
The surety bonds of the town officials required to fur- nish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the treas- urer's and collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from the several town officials, for which, on be- half of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ
Assistant Director of Accounts

Selectmen's Report
The Board of Selectmen herewith submit their re- port for the year of 1959.
The resignation of Peter S. Rogaleski as clerk of the board was accepted after hearing his request. He has served the various boards for many years. Appointed to carry on as clerk was Francis Dugal of Maple Street.
The roof on the town hall was repaired. This is an annual must, since the small pitch of the roof tends to hold back water which freezes overnight in cold weather; thus cracking the slate.
