REPORT OF STATE DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS
August 27, 1925.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. William J. Scotland, Secretary,
Wayland, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Wayland for the period from January 1, 1924, to July 31, 1925, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell,
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 Wayland for the period from January 1, 1924, to July 31, 1925, and report there- on as follows :
The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting money · for the town, were examined and checked for the period covered by the audit.
In checking the accounts of the collector of taxes, discrepancies were found between the amounts collected by the collector and the amounts turned over to the town treasurer aggregating $62,565.21; and claims have been made that taxes amounting to $3,605.50 have been paid, which, when substantiated by proofs of payment, will
35
increase the shortage to $66,170.71. A summary of the discrepancies follows:
Due from former collector on commitments of 1916 to 1922, inclusive, per appended tables :
1916

1923
19.69
167.73
61,428.63
$62,565.21 The commitment book for the levy of 1923 was analyzed and it was found that entries had been made on the commitment book of payments of taxes aggregat- ing $25,093.62 in excess of the amounts paid over to the town treasurer on account of the levy of 1923.
The commitment book for the levy of 1924 was anal- yzed and it was found that entries had been made on the commitment book of payments of taxes aggregating $16,136.51 in excess of the amounts paid over to the town treasurer on account of the levy of 1924.
These facts were called to the attention of the col- lector, who stated that every entry on the commitment book showing that the amounts had been paid was correct and that the money had been collected, but he would give no explanation as to why the money had not been paid to the town treasurer.
Verification notices were mailed to every person whose name appeared on the books as owing money to the town for taxes. As a result of these notices 237 taxpayers submitted for examination receipted bills or cancelled checks as proof that their taxes for 1924 had been paid, the amounts called for by these receipted bills and cancelled checks aggregating $18,979.26 for taxes and $148.04 for interest. Eighteen taxpayers submitted for examination receipted bills or cancelled checks as proof that their taxes for 1923 had been paid, these re- ceipted bills and cancelled checks aggregating $759.51 for taxes and $19.69 for interest.
Many of the receipted bills presented for examina-
37
tion bore the stamp, "Lester R. Gerald," with the initials, "N. R. G." or "B. W. G."; and one receipt was signed, "Lester R. Gerald, by Geo. F. Reif."
In addition to the receipted bills and cancelled checks submitted, forty-five replies were received claiming that taxes of 1924, aggregating $3,449.63, had been paid, and twelve replies were received claiming that taxes of 1923, aggregating $155.87, had been paid. As receipted bills or other evidences of payment were not submitted for examination as proof of the claims, these amounts have not been included in the total discrepancy ; and as a num- ber of notices were returned by the postal authorities, although every effort was made to obtain the correct address of the persons to whom notices were mailed, the shortage will be increased by the amount of any of the accounts which it is proven have been paid.
The tax commitments prior to the levy of 1923 were supposed to have been closed by payments to the treas- urer or by abatement; however, as the balance due on the commitment of 1922 as shown by the treasurer's books was settled by the bonding company in September, 1924, it was deemed advisable to analyze the commitments for the years 1914 to 1922, inclusive, and it was found that there were due from the collector on account of the com- mitments of these years various sums aggregating $1,136.58, due to differences between the aggregate of the commitment lists and the assessors' warrants, and to errors and omissions in settling the amounts of the sev- eral commitments.
In analyzing the commitment book for 1914 it was found that the collector had paid the treasurer $73.02 in excess of the amount due the town, as follows:
The actual payment to the treasurer in excess of the collections as shown by the commitment book was $152.53. There were outstanding items on the commit- ment book aggregating $79.51, which the collector failed to collect, or, if collected, failed to record as paid, but this amount was due the town in the collector's settlement of the warrant; therefore, the actual payments to the treasurer in excess of the collections are reduced by this amount.
The assessors' warrant was $2 in excess of the aggregate of the commitment book; the abatements as shown by the commitment book aggregated $90.78 in excess of the abatements credited on the treasurer's
38
books; and the amount paid to the treasurer on account of moth assessments was $25.75 in excess of the amounts collected as shown by the commitment book. I have credited these items to the collector in the settlement for the levy of 1914, and I have charged the collector with $30.71 over-collections as shown by the commitment book and $14.80 for added taxes as shown by the commitment book in excess of the amount charged on the treasurer's books.
In analyzing the commitment book for 1915 it was found that the collector had paid the treasurer $590.15 in excess of the amount due the town, as follows:
The actual payments to the treasurer in excess of the collections as shown by the commitment book were $735.27. There were outstanding items on the commit- ment book aggregating $145.12, which the collector failed to collect, or, if collected, failed to record as paid, but this amount was due the town in the collector's settle- ment of the warrant; therefore, the actual payments to the treasurer in excess of the collections are reduced by this amount.
The assessors' warrant was $49.30 in excess of the aggregate of the commitment book; the abatements as shown by the commitment book aggregated $510.01 in excess of the abatements credited on the treasurer's books; the added taxes charged on the treasurer's books were $16 in excess of the added taxes as shown by the commitment book; and the amount paid to the treasurer on account of moth assessments was $14.84 in excess of the amounts collected as shown by the commitment book. These items I have credited to the collector in the settle- ment for the levy of 1915, making the net over-payment for this levy $590.15.
In analyzing the commitment book for 1916 it was found that there is due from the collector $133.25, as follows:
There were outstanding items on the commitment book aggregating $233.32, which the collector failed to collect, or, if collected, failed to record as paid, but this amount was due the town in the collector's settlement of the warrant. The collections on account of moth assess- ments as shown by the commitment book aggregated $26.88 in excess of the payments to the treasurer on account of moth assessments. The actual payments to the treasurer on account of moth assessments. The

actual payments to the treasurer on account of taxes were $126.97 in excess of the collections as shown by the commitment book; therefore, the outstanding items due the town in the settlement of the warrant and the moth collections in excess of payments to the treasurer have been reduced by this amount.
The aggregate of the commitment book was 2 cents in excess of the assessors' warrant; the added taxes as shown by the commitment book were $8 in excess of the added taxes charged on the treasurer's books; the collec- tions on account of moth assessments were $26.88 in excess of payments to the treasurer; the abatements credited on the treasurer's books were $97.32 in excess of the abatements as shown by the commitment book; and the over-collections of taxes as shown by the commit- ment book were $1.01. These items I have charged against the collector in the settlement of the levy of 1916, making the amount due from the collector on account of this levy $133.23.
