ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Tree Warden


Randolph, Mass., Jan. 1st, 1941.


To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph-


Greeting :


The shade trees of any city or town are a beauty and an asset to any community. Many of our beautiful trees are old and dying out for want of proper nourish- ment, owing to the cement roads and sidewalks. Each year more or less dead branches have to be removed.


I would recommend the planting of a few trees each year to try and take the place of many that have been removed.


I recommend starting a nursery where small trees could be planted to raise them to proper size for street planting. The cost would be a very small item.


Let our motto be: "Plan to plant another tree."


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN T. MOORE, Tree Warden.


138


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


Local Moth Superintendent


Randolph, Mass., Jan. 1st, 1941.


To the Citizens of Randolph-


Greeting :


The moth situation in the town the past year remains about the same. A W. P. A. project was carried on last winter and spring to cover all the woodlands, creosoting the egg clusters. Thirty men were employed.


The town purchased a new sprayer and more effec- tive work was done. All streets were sprayed and some of the streets in outlying sections.


The elm tree beetle was a serious menace the past summer and we must do more spraying to try and hold this pest in check.


The tent caterpillar was not so bad last year, as many nests and wild cherry trees where they breed were destroyed.


No creosoting has been done this year.


The brown-tail moths were very few this year, also Fall web worms.


A little more money should be raised this year to enable us to buy more material.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN T. MOORE, Local Moth Supt.

I would suggest the purchase of one street box each year until the town is brought up to the standard of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.


I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the town for their hearty co-operation.

Board of Selectmen, Randolph, Mass.


Gentlemen :


The Board of Appeals which was created under the zoning laws, adopted by the town, considered one case during the year. After a number of hearings a unan- imous decision was rendered. Up to the present time the appellants have completely disregarded this decision. If the Zoning Laws are to mean anything the importance of enforcing strictly the decisions of the Board of Appeals should be apparent to all.

I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Randolph for the period from August 13, 1939 to August 17, 1940, made in ac- cordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.

Sir :


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Ran- dolph for the period from August 13, 1939, the date of the previous examination, to August 17, 1940, and submit the following report thereon:


148


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


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 and reconciled with the records of the treasurer and of the town accountant.


TOWN ACCOUNTANT. The general ledger accounts were analyzed, the recorded receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treas- urer's records of payments.


The appropriations and loan orders were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceed- ings, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on August 17, 1940.


TREASURER ..... The books and accounts of the treas- urer were examined and checked. The receipts, as re- corded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book was added and the cash balance on August 17, 1940, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by a reconciliation of the bank balance with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.


Payments made for maturing debt and interest were compared with the cancelled securities and coupons on file and with the amounts falling due.


The securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer, the treasurer of the trustees of the


149


ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT


Turner Library Funds, and the Treasurer of the trustees of the Stetson School Funds were examined and listed. The income was proved and the receipts and payments were verified.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and reconciled with the collector's tax accounts and with the town accountant's ledger, being further verified by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.


TAX COLLECTOR. The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding according to the previous examination were audited and all subsequent commitments were compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.


LICENSES AND PERMITS. The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, town clerk, and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.


DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The records of bills committed to the treasurer by the various depart- ments were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's cash book, the abate- ments were compared with the records in the dpartments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.


WATER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The water accounts committed for collection were examined and checked in detail. The commitments were added, the reported pay-


150


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


ments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were verified, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved.


OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS. Verification of the out- standing tax, departmental, and water accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received, it appears that the ac- counts, as listed, are correct.


SURETY BONDS. The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to file them were examined and found to be in proper form.


CONCLUSION. In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money or committing bills for collection were examined and recon- ciled with the treasurer's and town accountant's ledger.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.
