By securing a cash discount of 2% for prompt pay- ment on practically all local bills, and buying by contract wherever possible instead of by the hand-to-mouth me- thod, we have effected savings of over $1000 per year. Additional contracts are in contemplation for the com- ing year.

Attention is called to the greatly decreased cost in the operation of the Town Infirmary-$838.51 in 1932, against $1847.50 in 1931-in spite of the greater num- ber cared for, and the expenditure of over $100 in repairs on the boiler; this has been condemned, after over 25 years of use, and a new heating plant will have to be installed before another winter.
The Board of Public Welfare has loaned to the Street Department, Cemetery Commissioners, and the Town In- firmary, Welfare workers to the amount of 8206 days at $2.50 per day, a total of $20,515.
We wish to express our appreciation to all the in- dustries of the Town for their ready and hearty co-opera- tion with this Board in the matter of investigations, and in other ways.
The present Board members have co-operated 100% in every way, without the slightest friction or discord.
Because of conditions in the local employment field, we are convinced that the coming year will bring an in- creased demand for relief, as new applications are in- creasing rapidly.

State Auditor's Report
Summary of the essential features of the Report of an Audit of the Books and Accounts of the Town of Pal- mer, from June 11, 1930, to June 25, 1932, made by the Director of Accounts.
In compliance with the provisions of Chapter 44, sec. 40 of the General Laws, there is published below a sum- mary of the essential features of the report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Palmer, from June 11, 1930, to June 25, 1932, made by the Director of Accounts.
JOHN T. BROWN, Town Clerk. September 28, 1932
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Charles A. Callahan, Chairman Palmer, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Palmer for the period from June 11, 1930, to June 25, 1932, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fen- ton, Chief Accountant of this Division.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL Director of Accounts
TNW:GY
88
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 Palmer for the period from June 11, 1930, the date of the previous audit, to June 25, 1932, and submit the following report 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 ex- amined, checked, and verified.
The books and accounts of the town bookkeeper were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's books and with the records in the departments receiving money for the town, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's record of payments. The appropriations, as entered in the ledger, were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings, and other ledger accounts were checked with information in the de- partments in which the transactions originated. The ledger was analyzed, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on June 25, 1932, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were com- pared with the records in the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants
89
authorizing them. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance was proved by reconciling the bank balance with a statement received from the bank.
The payments of debt and interest were verified by checking to the cancelled securities on file and by a com- parison with the amounts falling due during the period audited.
The savings bank books representing the investment of trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were ex- amined and listed. The income was proved and the with- drawals were checked and verified by a comparison with the recorded receipts of the town treasurer.
The books and accounts of the collector were exam- ined and checked. The town and district taxes, as well as sidewalk and curbing assessments, outstanding at the time of the previous examination, were audited, and all sub- sequent commitments of poll, personal, real estate, motor vehicle excise, and old age assistance taxes were proved with the assessors' commitment warrants.
The collections entered in the cash books were checked with the commitment lists, the payments to the town and district treasurers were verified, the abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the bookkeeper's ledger.
A further verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained 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 tax collector's cash on hand was verified by an actual count.
The financial accounts of the town clerk were ex- amined. The receipts for dog licenses issued on behalf of the county and for sporting licenses issued on behalf of
90
the State were checked with the records of licenses issued. The payments to the county treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game, respectively, were verified, and the cash on hand was proved by an actual count.
The surety bonds of the town treasurer and tax col- lector were examined and found to be in proper form. The town clerk's bond is in the form of a renewal certi- ficate, in which connection attention is called to Chapter 94, Acts of 1931, which requires town clerks to file a fidelity bond annually.
The clerical work of the bookkeeper, treasurer, and tax collector is carefully and accurately performed.
The receipts for licenses issued by the selectmen were checked with the records of licenses granted, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The license commissioners' records of licenses grant- ed were checked with the recorded receipts for licenses, and the payments to the treasurer were verified by a com- parison with the treasurer's books. It was noted that it has been the practice to grant licenses each year to those persons who received similar licenses in the previous year, and it appears that a number of licenses granted are not desired or issued. It is recommended that only such li- censes be granted as are applied for annually.
The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined. The receipts for sealing and adjusting weights and measures were checked with the record of work done. The payments to the treasurer were verified and the cash on hand was proved by an actual count on July 14, 1932.
The accounts of the health, sewer, highway, public welfare, soldiers' relief, and school departments were ex- amined. The departmental records of charges and of abatements or allowances were compared with the book-
91
keeper's ledger. The recorded receipts were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified by a com- parison with the treasurer's cash book.
The accounts of the cemetery commissioners were ex- amined. The charges for general care, sale of lots, etc., were listed and analyzed. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the out- standing accounts were listed and proved, and the cash balance on July 14, 1932, was proved by reconciling with a statement received from the bank of deposit.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasur- er's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental ac- counts, as well as tables showing the transactions and con- dition of the trust funds.
On behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation for the co-operation received from all town officials during the process of the audit.
Respectfully submitted,
