Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. HIGGISTON, FRED W. FITZSIMMONS, PHILIP CENEDELLA, Selectmen of Milford, Mass.
REPORT OF AN AUDIT -OF-
The Accounts of the Town of Milford,
For the Period from January 1, 1925, to July 20, 1926.
Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.
December 2, 1926.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. John E. Higgiston, Chairman, Milford, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Milford for the period from Janu- ary 1, 1925 to July 20, 1926, 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 Milford for the period from January 1, 1925 to July 20, 1926, and submit the follow- ing report thereon :-
The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting money
46
for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked for the period of the audit, the records of the tax collector, however, being examined from the date of the previous audit, January 1, 1923, to September 30,-1926.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury ; and the recorded payments were checked with orders ap- proved by the selectmen authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds.
The cash book was footed throughout for the period covered by the audit, and the cash balance was verified by an actual count of cash on hand and by a reconciliation of the bank account with a statement furnished by the Milford National Bank.
· The savings bank books, representing the investment of the cemetery perpetual care funds in the custody of the town treasurer, were examined, and the income and disbursements were verified.
The payments on account of debt and interest were verified by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled coupons and securities on file.
In checking the notes issued in anticipation of revenue, it was noted that the town has been paying 5% interest on all revenue loans issued for a number of years, this interest rate being from 1 to 112% higher than the pre- vailing rates for loans of this kind, as a result of which the town has been paying from $1,800 to $2,500, annually more than should have been paid for interest on money borrowed in anticipation of revenue.
It was also noted that it has been the practice of the treasurer to have notes certified by the Director of Ac- counts in advance of the needs of the town, as some of the notes were held by the treasurer from two weeks to two months after certification before being negotiated; .
47
and the loan of $6,400, for the Charles River Valley Improvement was held by the treasurer from November, 1925, when certified by the Director of Accounts, until February, 1926, when negotiated by the treasurer.
This practice should be discontinued and notes issued only as needed for the payment of bills, while the interest rate should not be in excess of the rate paid by other towns for similar loans.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked in detail for the period from January 1, 1923 to September 30, 1926. The collector's report in the annual town report for the year 1925, would indicate that all commitments prior to the commitment of 1923, had been settled. An examination of the recorded transactions since the previous audit, however, disclosed the fact that levies of 1916 to 1922, inclusive, had not been settled, and it was therefore necessary to check in detail the transactions on these levies, it being found that abatements had been recorded on the commitment books which did not appear on the assessors' records of abatements granted, and also that many accounts ap- peared as unpaid on the books. The unauthorized abate- ments and the outstanding accounts were listed and a copy of the lists furnished to the assessors, in order that they might grant such abatements as in their judgment should be made.
In checking the commitment for the year 1921, with the recorded collections, it was found that the collections as recorded on the cash book exceeded the payments to the treasurer by more than $3,200, the collector stating that he had been holding about $3,500, in his safe as he did not know to which levy the amount should be applied. This condition was undoubtedly occasioned by the fact that the collector failed to charge himself with the correct amount of commitment in the annual town report, and as he settled on the basis of the report figures, the errors were not discovered.
In checking the accounts it was also found that many
48
entries of payments had been made on the commitment books which did not appear on the cash books, and that entries had been made on the cash books which had not been posted to the commitment books. The necessary entries were made for the correction of clerical errors, the outstanding accounts were listed, the recorded pay- ments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand was verified by an actual count and a reconciliation of the bank accounts with statements furnished by the banks.
In reconciling the recorded collections (after the neces- sary corrections of clerical errors had been made) with the payments to the treasurer and the cash on hand, it was found that, in addition to the amounts due on the levies of 1916 to 1922, there was due from the collector the sum of $1,290.34, which the assessors have refused to abate. This discrepancy in the collector's cash is due, I believe, to his practice of entering in his cash book, as paid, poll taxes and interest which he had not actually collected, trusting that the collections would be made before it. was necessary to make payment to the town treasurer. The discrepancy was called to the attention of the collector and the amount due was paid to the town treasurer on November 18, 1926.
In addition to the outstanding tax accounts for the levies of 1916 to 1925, inclusive, there are outstanding street sprinkling assessments for each of the levies of 1920 to 1925, inclusive, unapportioned sewer assessments for the levies of 1914, 1920, 1922 and 1925, as well as apportioned sewer assessments for each of the levies of 1910 to 1925, inclusive. As these accounts are long past due, a determined effort, should be made to force their collection, or action should be taken against the collector's bond in order that the town may receive the revenue represented by these accounts.
The careless and unbusinesslike manner in which the collector's accounts have been kept necessitated a great
49
amount of detailed checking, which materially increased the cost of the audit ..
The town clerk's records of receipts on account of dog and .of hunting and fishing licenses issued for the county and the State were examined, and the payments to the county and state treasurers, respectively, were verified by receipts on file.
The appropriations, transfers and loans voted by The town, as shown by the town clerk's records, were listss and checked with the treasurer's and the selectmen's books.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money jut the town, or committing bills for collection, were ez- amined and reconciled ; and the payments to the treasurer. were. verified by a comparison with the treasurer's books.
The suretyy bondssof the treasurer, the tax collector, and the town clerk were examined and found to be in propér. form ...
Appended to this reporttare tables showing; a recon- ciliationof thectreasurer's and the collector's cash, sum- maries of the tax and assessment accounts, of depart- mental accounts and trustiftinddtransactions, and a bal- ance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town July 20, 1926.
The appended balance sheet shows the town to be in a good financial condition, there being a book surplus of more than $100,000. As this surplus is made up entirely of outstanding taxes, it is, therefore, not available for appropriation until the outstanding accounts receivable have ben collected, or a sufficient amount collected to reduce the outstanding accounts to a figure less than the book surplus; otherwise, the treasurer will be unable to pay the outstanding temporary loans in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.
As the unsatisfactory condition of the collector's ac- counts required so much timeetosstraighten them out, it. was deemed : advisable to defer thecinstallationof tha
50
State system of accounts until after the beginning of the new fiscal year, for to continue the work at this time would necessitate the writing up of the books from Janu- ary 1, 1926, thereby materially increasing the cost of the work.
For courtesies extended and the assistance rendered by the various town officials during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Examiner. .
