to administer all categories of Public Assistance, Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Disability Assist- ance, General Relief and the new Medical Assistance for the Aged that went into effect 10/1/60.


All the categories with the exception of General Relief are entirely under State and Federal supervision with reimbursements made to the town or department according to their regulations.


All reimbursements from Federal grants are reusable by the Department of Public Welfare. All reimbursements from the State are deposited in Surplus Revenue.


We are again asking that our appropriation be made in one sum $80,000.00 to be allotted to the five categories as seems proper at the beginning of the year.


During this past year the resignation of Mrs. W. Walter Bigelow as Director of Public Assistance was accepted with regret. The position was filled on 10/1/60 by Mrs. Raymond E. Emmert a former clerk in the Wel- fare Department.


The Board also accepted the resignation on Decem- ber 31, 1960 of Mr. Hazen M. Emery who had served as Chairman of the Board of Public Welfare for many years.


In order to give the townspeople a better understand- ing of their participation in the expense of this department we are submitting the following report.

I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Merrimac for the fiscal year 1959, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts.

State House, Boston Sir:


As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Merrimac for the fiscal year 1959, 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 records of the town accountant and the town treasurer.


95


TOWN OF MERRIMAC


The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the records of departmental payments to the treasur- er, while the recorded disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the record of payments by the treasurer.


The appropriations and transfers, as listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings, and the transfers from the reserve fund authorized by the finance committee were checked with the appropriation accounts in the town accountant's ledger.


The ledger accounts were analyzed, the necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of December 31, 1959.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded were analyzed and compared with the records of payments to the treasurer by the several departments and with other sources from which the town received money, while the recorded payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants and with the accountant's books.


The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on February 29, 1960 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited, by examination of the savings bank books, by verification of the United States Treasury Bills, and by actual count of the cash in the office.


The payments on account of maturing debt and in- terest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.

ANNUAL REPORT


The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved, and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the town accountant.


The tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were listed from the records of the treasurer, and all trans- actions pertaining thereto were verified, including a com- parison with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The records of deductions from employees' salaries for Federal and State taxes were examined and checked. The payments to the Director of Internal Revenue and to the State were verified, and the balances remaining in the general treasury were proved with the respective ledger accounts.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes and excise outstanding according to the previous examination, as well as all sub- sequent commitment lists, were audited and reconciled with the warrants issued for their collection.


The recorded receipts were checked with the pay- ments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assess- ors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title accounts were checked with the treasurer's records, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger controls.


The collector's cash books were footed, and the cash balance on February 29, 1960, including the petty cash advance, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.


The books and accounts of the municipal light and water departments were examined and checked. The


97


TOWN OF MERRIMAC


records of charges were analyzed, the recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books, the discounts were checked with the departmental records of discounts granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.


Further verification of the outstanding tax, excise, and departmental accounts was made by mailing notices to a- number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of departmental cash collections by the selectmen, the town clerk, and the sealer of weights and measures, as well as by the police, health, school, library and cemetery departments, and by all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the State and the town treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.


The surety bonds on file for the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, to- gether with schedules showing the condition and trans- actions of the trust and investment funds.


On behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation for the cooperation which was receiv- ed from all town officials while engaged in making the audit.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWATZ
