Division of Accounts REPORT OF AN AUDIT of THE ACCOUNTS OF THE LATE TAX COLLECTOR OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD for the period from June 15, 1942 to September 19, 1942 Made in accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws
October 15, 1942 THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation
Division of Accounts
State House, Boston, October 15, 1942
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Patrick Carroll, Chairman Milford, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the late tax collector of the town of Mil- ford for the period from June 15, 1942, to September 19, 1942, 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.
TNW:CAH

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 late tax collector of the town of Milford for the period from June 15, 1942, the date of the previous audit, to September 19, 1942, preparatory to a recommitment of taxes and assessments to a new col- lector, and submit the following report thereon:
The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, and all subsequent commit- ments, were audited and checked with the assessors' war- rants. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the asses- sors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title account were verified, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, the re- plies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The cash balance on September 19, 1942, was recon- ciled with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
Appended to this report are summaries of the tax and assessment accounts.
For the cooperation received from the several town officials during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HBD:CAH
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
