The commitments of taxes and assessments were added and proved to the warrants, as well as the commitments of departmental accounts, licenses, and water charges for the years from 1923 to September 4, 1928, and of the electric light charges for 1928.


Considerable difficulty was experienced in proving the work, and it was necessary to check the postings of the collections for taxes, assessments, and departmental accounts, as well as the abatements, from the collector's cash books to the commitment books, and to make necessary adjusting and correcting entries.


The abatements were checked with the departmental records of abate- ments granted, where available, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. A further verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town. One person showed a receipted tax bill which was not entered on the books, as the stub had not been detached from the bill. This was adjusted by an entry on the cash book. From the balance of the replies received, it appears that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


171


The receipts, as entered on the collector's cash books, are recorded on the treasurer's cash book in totals, the amount of the rceeipts being deposited in the bank. In checking the entries in the cash books, however, numerous errors were diselosed between the records, which materially inercascd the work of the audit, thereby adding to the cost of the examina- tion.


Although due allowance is made for the faet that the office of the trea- surer and collector had been moved into small and temporary quarters just prior to the date of the audit, much time was eonsumed in looking for records and accounts during the process of the audit.


If the cash receipts are proved daily, which is being done at present; if the collections are written up promptly, showing each day's receipts on the cash sheets, which should be kept in binders; and if the stubs and records are filed systematically, it will facilitate the work of the office and materially reduce the work of auditing the accounts.


Many of the water and the departmental accounts are very much over- due. Determined efforts should be made towards their collection, and those found to be uncollectible should be abated.


The tax levies of the older years are to be closed at once, either by collec- tion or by abatement of the taxes if found to be uncollectible.


The outstanding electric light charges, which are being collected by the manager of the electric light department, were listed and proved to the control accounts in the office billing the electric light eharges.


The reported payments to the treasurer by the manager of the electric light department were checked to the books in the treasurer's office and to the control accounts in the billing office.


Included in the outstanding charges are old, inactive accounts amount- ing to $17,036.93. it being noticed that some of the names on the inactive accounts are also on the active list and should, therefore, be transferred to the active accounts. In order that the outstanding charges may rep- resent good assets, those which are found to be uncollectible should be abated.


The receipts of the town clerk and accountant, as town clerk, for re- cording fees and for fees on account of sporting and dog licenses were examined and checked with the office records, as well as with the records of sporting and dog licenses issued.


The payments to the town treasurer were checked to the treasurer's books, and the payments by the treasurer to the State and county, re- spectively, were verified by receipts on file.


Apparently, owing to a clerical error, some receipts of the town clerk and accountant had not been paid over to the town treasurer. This matter was adjusted during the process of the audit by the payment of the amount. due to the treasurer.


The records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures and of the library department were examined, and the reported payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's books.


172


The record of receipts of the school department was examined. It was found that only a part of the receipts had been paid to the treasurer by the present superintendent of schools, there being a balance unpaid on December 31, 1927, of $100.36 and on December 31, 1928, of $407.57.


The reported payments to the treasurer were compared with the treas- urer's books, and the cash and checks on hand were verified, a cash dis- crepancy of $145.26 being shown. Included in the checks on hand were several from the superintendent of schools, amounting to $149.40 and bearing dates as follows :- July 1, 1928, December 3, 1928, December 28, 1928, and January 6, 1929.


In the future receipts should be paid to the treasurer at least monthly, and all receipts should be turned over before the close of the fiscal year.


It was noted that one of the members of the board of selectmen has contracted each year with the town for the use of horses or trucks, and it seems that, while holding such office, he should annually notify the finance commission in writing to comply with the provisions of Section 36, Chapter 197, Acts of 1914.


At the time of the audit, several of the 1928 appropriations were over- drawn, but were to be taken care of by a later town meeting or by transfers from the reserve fund.


In the past, the overdrawn appropriation accounts at the end of a year have been included in the next tax levy by the assessors without being appropriated by the town, which practice should be discontinued, as it is necessary to have appropriations voted by the town for the purpose of closing these accounts.


Departmental officials should plan their work for the year so as to make expenditures come within their appropriations; if their appropriations are insufficient to permit the performance of work which, in their judgment, should be done, they are, nevertheless, bound by the amounts appro- priated, and before incurring liabilities in excess of the appropriations, should get additional appropriations, or have a transfer voted from the reserve fund by the finance commission. The statute covering this subject is contained in Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws, and is as follows:


No department of any city or town, except Boston, shall incur liability in excess of the appropriation made for the use of such de- partment except in cases of extreme emergency involving the health or safety of persons or property, and then only by a vote in a city of two thirds of the members of the city council, and in a town by a vote of two thirds of the selectmen.


The surety bonds furnished by the departmental officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


Appended to this report are tables showing a conciliation of the treas-


173


urer's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, and departmental accounts receivable, together with tables showing the transactions of the trust funds.


For the co-operation and courtesy extended by the departmental officials during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
