Report of School Physicians'
Mr. L. A. Merritt, Superintendent of Schools, Williamsburg, Mass. Dear Sir:
I have the pleasure of submitting my annual report as school physician for the Williamsburg Center Schools.
The routine physical examinations of the students were done again this year with the capable assistance of Mrs. Margaret Madison, the school nurse. No marked or serious defects were found.
During the Spring of 1948 there was an outbreak of measles, and, also, some cases of chicken-pox appeared. More cases of chicken-pox occured during the Fall term with scattered cases of mumps. Other contagious dis- eases were rare.
I am again suggesting that the installation of rest rooms for the older boys and girls be kept in mind.
Because of occasional accidents both during sports and at recess time I wonder if the possibility of some type of group insurance might not be considered ? Inexpen- sive insurance of this nature is carried by some of the schools, especially for their athletic teams.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph R. Hobbs, M.D.

Mr. L. A. Merritt, Superintendent of Schools, Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I submit herewith my fortieth annual report as school physician of the Haydenville Schools-that of the year 1943 having been rendered by Dr. Hemenway.
It is difficult to now visualize the condition of the schools of forty years ago. For example, the First Pri- mary, so called, taught by our well-remembered Miss Eliza- beth Purrington, had an enrollment for forty-four little pupils in one room. Later this enrollment increased to sixty and Supt. L. A. Merritt appointed Miss Helen O'Brien as first grade assistant. These individual schoolhouses of one roome, a stove in the corner, poor ventilation and lighting, no artificial lighting at all for dark days, out- house usually in a prominent location, were at that time virtually district schools like those all over the country. It was several years before water for drinking purposes was piped to these school buildings. Then when the schools were centralized more modern conveniences were installed.
All such improvements had much to do with the health of our pupils, yet we should not forget that these same changes were taking place in the homes, or that the economic status of families in our particular area had vast- ly improved. Neither should we fail to mention health measures which practically eradicated some of our most killing diseases of children. This brings us to the present healthful condition of the pupils in our schools. Certain- ly, there are problems to be solved which with the aid of the school nurse and the co-operation of the parents will cease to be difficult.
86
The past year has seen comparatively little sickness in the schools, although the Varicella (Chicken-pox) epi- demic took its toll of attendance. The Mumps have not made any appreciable inroad on attendance, as yet.
The village of Haydenville should be congratulated on the healthful condition of its school children. With the continued emphasis on public health we may look forward to a future of healthy, happy children in our schools and homes.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H. WHEELER, M.D.

Mr. L. A. Merritt, Superintendent of Schools, Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Sir:
The annual report of the school nurse is herewith submitted for January 1 through December 31, 1948.
All pupils in grades 1 through 8 were weighed and measured in January, June and September. High school pupils in September only.
10 pupils were taken to the Sanatorium for chest x-rays because of underweight. All were found to be ne- gative.
Assisted Dr. Glade Hall with dental work in Williams- burg during March. 257 pupils were examined. 137 slips were returned with 396 operations needed. 251 opera- tions were completed, 64 more than the previous year.
In Haydenville 103 pupils were examined and 192 operations completed, an increase of 27 more than last year.
5 pupils were taken to Clarke School for a hearing test after failing the test at the school with use of the Red Cross Audiometer.
Many pupils were out during the spring term with measles and chicken-pox.
4 girls and 1 boy were sent to Camp Hodgkins for 4 weeks each during July and August. All seemed to have benefited by it.
The well-child conference was held under the auspices of the Visiting Nurse Association in Williamsburgon July 8 with 32 pre-school children attending. In Haydenville on July 9 with 35 children attending. Dr. Floyd Smith of
88
Pittsfield was examining pediatrician. As a result one child was fitted to glasses and another operated on for hernia before attending school in September.
Dr. Wheeler was assisted with physical examinations of 110 pupils in Haydenville school during September.
Dr. Hobbs did physical examination on 273 pupils in Williamsburg.
The Massachusetts Vision Test was used on 378 pupils in both schools. 34 failed this test. The parents of these pupils were advised to have the childs eyes examined by an optometrist.
The Red Cross Audiometer was used to test the hear- ing of 290 pupils. 4 will be taken to Clarke School for further examination.
Class room inspection was made in all grade rooms every month.
32 home visits were made and 64 pupils received first aid at school.
There was an epidemic of chicken-pox in Haydenville and a few cases of mumps were reported so far this winter.
I wish to thank Mr. Merritt, the School Committee, pupils and their parents for co-operation in assisting me with my work.
Respectfully submitted, MARGARET MADISON, R.N.,
School Nurse.
REPORT OF AN AUDIT
OF
THE ACCOUNTS OF
The Town of Williamsburg
FOR THE PERIOD FROM
SEPT. 15, 1946 TO AUG. 21, 1948
Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws
January 14, 1949
91
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. George V. Warner, Chairman Williamsburg, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Williamsburg for the period from September 15, 1946 to August 21, 1948, made in ac- cordance 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, Francis X. Lang,
Director of Accounts.
92
Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an "audit of the books and accounts of the town of Williams- burg for the period from September 15, 1946, the date of the previous examination, to August 21, 1948, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the departments collecting or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The ledger accounts were analyzed, the receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the recorded payments were compared with the approved treasury warrants. The de- partmental accounts receivable were checked with the re- cords of the departments committing the charges and with the treasurer's record of collections. The appropriation ledger accounts were checked with the appropriations and transfers voted by the town, as listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on August 21, 1948.
Considerable difficulty was encountered in reconciling the accountant's ledger accounts with the transactions of the several town departments due to the failure of the de- partments to notify properly the accountant of all trans- actions and due to improper and incomplete accounting procedure. Numerous ledger adjustments were necessary in order to bring the ledger into balance.
93
In connection with the appropriations voted for the payment of bills incurred in previous years, attention is called to Section 64, Chapter 44, General Laws.
It is recommended that the salaries or compensation of all elected town officials be fixed each year by vote of the town, as required by Section 108, Chapter 41, General Laws.
It was noted that several town officials received their full salary considerably before the end of the year, in which connection it is recommended that elected officials' salaries be paid only when due.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer an with the other sources from which money was paid into the town trea- sury. The payments were compared with the approved treasury warrants, and the cash balance on August 21, 1948 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank and by actual count of the cash on hand.
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved by comparison with the amount of debt matured during the period of the audit and with the cancelled se- curities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in cus- tody of the treasurer were examined and listed. The in- come was proved and the payments to the town were veri- fied.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were exa- mined and checked in detail. The commitment lists of all tax and excise accounts were added and reconciled with the warrants given by the board of assessors for their
94
collection. The recorded collections were checked with the commitment lists, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger as adjusted.
The tax collector's cash balance on August 21, 1948 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank and by actual count of the cash on hand.
The balance sheet shows that on August 21, 1948 there were uncollected taxes as far back as 1943 and motor vehicle and trailer excise from the levy of 1942. Im- mediate action should be taken to collect these delinquent accounts, and, if they are found to be uncollectible, they should be abated.
The reports of previous audits called attention to the failure of the tax collector to pay over all collections to the treasurer each week. The collector's payments to the treasurer continue to be infrequent, in which connection attention is again called to Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws. Due to the failure of the collector to make pay- ments to the treasurer promptly, the treasurer was com- pelled to issue a temporary loan in anticipation of revenue in order to provide the funds necessary to pay the war- rants issued.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were examined. The receipts for dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game and the town treasurer were verified. The receipts for gasoline storage permit renewals were checked with the applica- tions on file and the payments to the treasurer were veri- fied. The town clerk's cash on hand on August 21, 1948 was proved by actual count.
95
The recorded receipts for licenses granted by the board of selectmen and issued by the town clerk were checked with the record of licenses granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on August 21, 1948 was proved by actual count.
The receipts for the rental of town-owned property were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The recorded receipts of the sealer of weights and measures were checked with the record of fees charged and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of accounts receivable of the health, pub- lic welfare, and school departments were examined. The charges were listed and compared with the accountant's record of commitments, the recorded collections were com- pared with the payments to the treasurer, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved with the accoun- tnt's ledger.
The recorded receipts of the school department were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The recorded receipts of the librarian of the Hayden- ville Library were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on September 21, 1948 was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the town clerk, town treasurer, tax collector and water collectors were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined and checked. The charges for the sale of water and for water services were added and compared with the commitments entered on the town accountant's ledger. The recorded collections and abatements were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and
96
the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the adjusted accountant's ledger.
It was noted that the water collector computes the water bills and prepares the commitment lists, in which connection it is recommended that this practice be discon- tinued and that the water commissioners employ someone other than the water collector to do this work.
It was noted that the water collector is also a member of the board of water commissioners and receives a salary for both positions, in which connection attention is called to Section 4A, Chapter 41, General Laws, Which reads as follows :
"Except as otherwise expressly pro- vided, a town board may, if authorized by vote of the town, appoint any member there- of to another town office or position for the term provided by law, if any, otherwise for a term not exceeding one year. The salary of any such appointee shall be fixed by vote of the town, notwithstanding the provisions of section one hundred and eight. In this section, the word "town" shall not include city."
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, 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, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The savings bank book and securities representing the investment of the Helen E. James School Fund in the custody of the Springfield Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany were examined. The income was proved and the payments to the town were verified.
97
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, and departmental ac- counts, together with tables showing the trust and invest- ment fund transactions.
For the cooperation received from all town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts. :
