STATE AUDIT


September 1, 1932.


To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. John W. Leavitt, Chairman, Wayland, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of Wilbur C. Gorman, late collector of the Town of Wayland, for the period from April 1, 1931, to August 15, 1932, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant 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 :


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of Wilbur C. Gorman, late collector of the Town of Wayland, for the period from April 1, 1931, the date of the previous audit, to August 15, 1932, and submit the following report thereon :


The collector's books and accounts for the levies of 1926 to 1929, inclusive, were examined and checked in detail, the outstanding accounts being marked for recommitment and the cash book balances on August 15, 1932, being reconciled with the balance in the collector's bank account as shown by a state- ment furnished by the bank of deposit.


73


The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as recorded in the treasurer's and the account- ant's books, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the tax titles applied to taxes were checked with the treasurer's records of town titles.


The outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts, a detailed list of the outstand- ing accounts being given to the assessors for recommitment. The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to all persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the Town, the replies thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


It is recommended that a determined effort be made toward a prompt settlement of the delinquent accounts, so that the tax levies of 1926 to 1929, inclusive, may be closed.


Appended to this report are tables showing a reconcilia- tion of the late collector's cash and summaries of the tax accounts.


For the co-operation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT


All regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in list of Town Officers and Committee.


All claims against the W. & L. Engineering Co., the con- tractors who had the contract to reconstruct Cochituate Road from the State Road to Five Paths in the year 1931, have at last been settled.


The Bond given by the contractor covers labor, materials and performance, but makes no provision for the cost of defend- ing suit against the Town. All expense of court action and legal advice had to be paid by the Town.


The reconstruction of Main Street and Cochituate Road has been completed. This work was done as under Chapter 90 of the General Laws. The State Department of Public Works had full supervision of the work. The Town of Wayland acted as the contractor with the Highway Surveyor in charge. Citizens of the Town performed all labor on the job.


There were 135 citizens employed at various times. All material that could be purchased in Wayland was so purchased.


$12,000.00 was appropriated for this work, like sums to come from the State and the County, making a total of $36,000.


The total cost was $40,732.49, the State and County each paying $11,587.741/2, the Town having to pay $17,557.00.


This additional money was appropriated at the Special Town Meeting January 10, 1933.


The total payroll for the work was $17,357.13.


All the money appropriated by the Town was paid to the citizens of the Town for labor or materials.


We wish to thank the officers of the Town for their cooper- ation during the year.


JOHN W. LEAVITT, J. FRED WHEELER, WILLARD C. HUNTING, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.
