REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS AND TAXATION DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
State House, Boston. January 28, 1944.
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 the town of Wayland for the period from February 9, 1940, to September 18, 1943, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
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 February 9, 1940, the date of the previous audit, to September 18, 1943, the following report being submitted thereon :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the books of the town accountant and the treasurer.
66
The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the records of the several depart- ments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants issued by the selectmen and with the treas- urer's cash book. The appropriations and transfers from the reserve fund, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the authoriza- tions of the finance committee.
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of September 18, 1943.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the town accountant's books and with the records in the various departments collecting money for the town, as well as with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the approved warrants. The cash balance on September 18, 1943, was proved by verification of the cash in the office, and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank in which the town funds were deposited.
The reported payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the can- celled securities and coupons on file.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the tax titles redeemed were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, the foreclosures were verified, and the tax titles held were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities representing trust fund investments in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as entered in the treasurer's cash book.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The property and motor vehicle excise taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examina- tion and all subsequent commitments were audited and recon- ciled with the assessors' warrants. The payments to the treas-
667
urer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, the transfers to the tax title account were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and recon- ciled with the respective ledger accounts.
The commitments of water charges were examined and checked in detail. The recorded payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
Verification notices were sent to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town for taxes, assessments, and water accounts, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are cor- rect.
The town clerk's records of sporting, dog, and miscellan- eous town licenses were examined. The payments to the State were verified by comparison with the receipts on file, the pay- ments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the cash on hand was verified.
The records of receipts from selectmen's licenses, of the sealer of weights and measures, the school and library depart- ments, and of all other departments in which money was col- lected for the town were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
The surety bonds furnished by the several officials required to file such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.
It was noted that payments for old age assistance and aid to dependent children have been made from the appropriations voted by the town for these purposes while substantial amounts received from federal grants which are also available for expenditures for old age assistance and aid to dependent chil- dren, remain unexpended and are carried forward at the close of the year. It is recommended that payments for the purposes stated be charged to federal grants so long as money from such grants is available, and that the appropriation voted by the town for old age assistance and aid to dependent children be used only when no grant balances remain available.
In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the
68
treasurer's and collector's cash, together with summaries of the tax, assessment, departmental, and tax title accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.
For the cooperation received from the various town officials, while engaged in making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myelf, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
All regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the list of Town Officers and Committees.
Mr. Gustaf Blomgren was appointed by the Board of Selectmen and the remaining members of the Board of Public Welfare to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. John W. Seavey. At a joint meeting of the Board of Select- men and Water Commissioners, Mr. George W. Lewis was appointed a member of the Board of Water Commissioners to replace Mr. Roger E. Ela, who resigned to join the armed ser- vices. These appointments were made for the period up to the next annual Town Meeting in accordance with the General Laws.
In addition, vacancies have been filled on the following boards : Mr. L. Frank Perkins, Zoning Board of Appeals to fill the unexpired term of Mr. George G. Bogren, now a mem- ber of the armed forces; Mr. George F. Dickey, member of the Board of Fire Engineers, replacing Mr. Albert Keach; Mr. J. Warren Olmstead, member of War Price and Ration Board, replacing Mr. Allan R. Finlay; Mr. Donald B. MacLellan, member of Finance Committee to fill the unexpired term of Mr. August Dath; Mr. Arthur W. Atwood, member of the Board of Registrars of voters to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Charles F. Whittier ; Mr. Hugh F. Colliton, Jr., Director of Local War Transportation Conservation and Local Mileage Administrator, replacing Mr. John B. Holt.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Selectmen, acting jointly with the Planning Board, requested the County Commissioners to lay out the plans to reconstruct Old Sudbury Road, under Chapter 90. A hearing has been held and it seems probable that this work will be one of the first Post-War projects. We have also requested the engineers to lay out and relocate the third section of Old Con- necticut Path, between Cochituate Road and State Road East. This work will be done in the Post-War period.
73
FIRE DEPARTMENT
As required under Chapter 688 of the Acts of 1941, a Forest-Fire patrol for spring and summer has been established. Fire Chief, T. H. Harrington, was appointed Forest-Fire War- den by our Board with the approval of the State Fire Warden.
Due to the alarming number of fires last spring and the resulting increase in the cost of fighting these fires, together with the difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number of firemen during the war period, we considered it advisable to instruct the Board of Fire Engineers to notify all citizens that during a prescribed period an outdoor fire permit is required by law. All violators are liable for any damages or cost resulting from such fires.
TOWN INSURANCE
Following the recommendations of John C. Paige & Co., General Agent for all Town Insurance, we increased the valua- tion of all Town property, namely $30,000 on buildings, $6,000 on contents, $7,500 on road machinery, and $65,000 on War Insurance. The insurance on all boilers in Town buildings was rewritten this year for a three-year period to take advantage of a temporary low rate situation, thus effecting a considerable saving to the Town.
CIVILIAN DEFENSE
Although the need of the services of the Civilian Defense Organization seems less imperative as the war progresses, we are confident that our local organization is still capable of meet- ing any emergency. This is due to the unremitting enthusiasm of the Chairman, Mr. Philip Burbank, and his committee. The finances of this committee continues to be excellently handled, with the result that 80% of its appropriation for 1943 is still available.
We have requisitioned the office of Civilian Defense in Washington for equipment and recently received an auxiliary pump with 1200 feet of hose, with more equipment to follow. Mr. Maurice W. Williams has been appointed by us as Prop- erty Officer in charge of all Civilian Defense Equipment.
GENERAL
In accordance with the vote of the last Town Meeting on Article 8, with reference to obtaining a contract for Garbage Collection throughout the town, for a three-year period, the Selectmen, together with the Board of Health, advertised for
74
bids early in March. We received but one bid for $1950.00 per year. This bidder could not furnish a three-year performance bond required under this article. We were obliged to re-adver- tise, again receiving but one bid for $2500.00 per year. This contractor was also unable to furnish the necessary bond. We are convinced that, for the duration of the war at least, no suitable contractor will be available.
The Selectmen appointed a committee to comply with the vote of Article 13, of the Annual Town Meeting, for the nam- ing and dedication of the square at the corner of Concord and Waltham Roads, known as "Charles Kirby Whittier Corner." Mr. William F. Curley is Chairman and the other two mem- bers are Mr. Charles F. Whittier and Mr. Addison L. Sanford.
A letter was sent to all Wayland residents who have joined the Armed Services, as voted under this same article (13) at the annual Town Meeting. This letter was composed and phrased by the following appointed Committee : Mr. John W. Leavitt, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen ; Mr. Willard B. Dik, Chairman of the Wayland Chapter, American Red Cross ; Mrs. M. Alice Neale, Town Clerk: Mr. Gustaf Blomgren, Commander of American Legion, Wayland Post No. 133, and Mrs. John Upton, Editor of the local paper for our servicemen.
During the past year many dependents of servicemen have been advised as to the allowance to which they are entitled, and assisted in obtaining the same. The Commonwealth has pro- vided funds to temporarily assist dependents awaiting Federal payments.
We commend the Wayland Chapter of the American Red Cross for the splendid work it is doing, both for men in service and in the preparation of surgical dressings.
The Wayland Company, Massachusetts State Guard, became the 12th Co. 21st Infantry on December 1, 1943. Its members are to be congratulated for the continual sacrifice of time and money that has enabled the organization to maintain a high degree of proficiency.
Elsewhere, this annual Town Report contains a letter from the Director of the Division of Accounts, Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, with reference to the recent State Audit. We recom- mend that all citizens read this report.
The affairs of our Town Government have been conducted in such a business-like manner that we are proud to point to the
75
fact that our tax rate has steadily declined for the past five years.
This Board would like to again express its appreciation to the various Town Officials and Employees for their constant cooperation.
JOHN W. LEAVITT, Chairman, WILLIAM A. LOKER, WILLIAM F. HYNES, Clerk.
January 20, 1944.
