REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxations Division of Accounts
April 30, 1943.
To the Board of Selectmen: Mr. Sumner Smith, Chairman Lincoln, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Lincoln for the period from February 26, 1942, to January 13, 1943, 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.
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 Lincoln for the period from February 26, 1942, to January 31, 1943, and submit herewith the follow- ing report thereon:
The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town or com- mitting bills for collection were examined and checked.
General ledger accounts were compiled from information obtained in auditing the several town departments, the appro- priations as voted by the town were listed from the town clerk's records of town meetings, the charges against the appropria- tions were checked, and a balance sheet showing the financial
84
TOWN OF LINCOLN
condition of the town as of January 31, 1943, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The cash book additions were verified and the recorded receipts were compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer. The pay- ments by the treasurer were checked with the selectmen's orders authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds, and the cash balance on January 31, 1943, was verified by recon- ciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by actual count of the cash on hand.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The custom of making petty cash advances for highways should be reduced to a minimum, since under the provisions of Section 35, Chapter 41, General Laws, no person other than the town treasurer may pay any bill of any department.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of trust funds in the custody of the town treas- urer, the trust fund commissioners, and the library trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved and the receipts and disbursements were verified.
The books and accounts of the library treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts and ex- penditures were verified, and the cash balance on February 26, 1943, was proved.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were ex- amined and checked. The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commit- ments of poll, property, motor vehicle excise taxes, and water accounts receivable were audited. The abatements were checked to the records of ,abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mail- ing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received
85
REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR
thereto indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed are correct.
The receipts of the town clerk from dog licenses and from sporting licenses were checked with the stubs on file.
The payments to the State and to the town treasurer were checked with the receipts on file and with the treasurer's cash book.
The records of the building inspector were examined and checked. The cash balance of $74.50 as of January 31, 1943, should be paid into the town treasury.
The books and records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were ex- amined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's record of receipts.
The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the bal- ance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and tax collector's cash, summaries of the tax and tax title accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was ex- tended by the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistant and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
In the early months of 1943 we had only a moderate amount of snow and ice which was handled the customary way.
During the summer our main work was tarring the roads, grading and resurfacing of Grasshopper Lane and Beaver Pond Road.
Another improvement was the widening of Storrow's hill and putting up guard post on Baker Bridge Road.
Chapter 90 work was limited to maintenance. We cut the brush, scraped and cleaned up the roads and painted the fences.
Our equipment is in reasonably good condition and with good care it will probably last for the duration.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS COAN, Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board organized with the choice of Sumner Smith, Chairman. Mr. Roland F. Beers was appointed to act for Mr. Sidney G. MacRae now in the U. S. Army.
Due to war conditions the work of the Department during the year was mostly routine. Difficulty is still being experi- enced with the gates. The gaskets on top of the gates as usual gave way and it was necessary to dig out four gates during the year.
The water level in Sandy Pond rose somewhat during the year. On December 30, 1943, the pond was 2.50 feet below full pond level. This is slightly lower than at the same time in 1942.
The Board itemizes the following budget estimate for the year 1944:
