To George H. Stearns, Town Clerk, Town of Duxbury :-


We, the undersigned, voters in the Town of Duxbury and having voted at the Town Meeting, March 13, 1920, believing that the votes cast were incorrectly counted and that Herbert Packard received more votes than were announced at the elec- tion, ask for a recount wherever his name appears on the bal- lot. We believe such recount would show a different result.

AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts.


State House, Boston. February 21, 1921.


To the Board of Selectmen,


Mr. Sidney C. Soule, Chairman,


Duxbury, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Duxbury for the year ending December 31, 1920, made in accordance with the provision of Section 35, 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, who was placed in charge of the work.


Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.


-90-


Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts,


Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston.


Sir :


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the accounts of the town of Duxbury for the fiscal year end- ing December 31, 1920, and report thereon as follows :-


The financial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the tax collector, town treasurer, and selectmen were examined and checked in detail.


The surety bonds of the Collector, Treasurer, and Town Clerk for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


The books in the Selectmen's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the Treasurer's and Collector's books, and the expenditures were checked with the original vouchers and pay-rolls and with the treasury warrants. The appropriation accounts were checked with the Town Clerk's records of appropriations voted by the town.


The original vouchers and pay-rolls were checked to the classi- fication book, and the classification book was checked with the appropriation accounts.


The cash book and journal entries were checked with the ledger accounts, the ledger was footed, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of December 31, 1920.


The books in the Selectmen's office have been kept in the usual careful and painstaking manner, and this greatly facili- tated the work of the audit.


The books and accounts in the Treasurer's and Collector's office were examined and checked. The Treasurer's cash book


-91-


was footed, the recorded receipts were checked with the records of collections by the Collector and with the Selectmen's books, and the disbursements were checked with the Selectmen's war- rants authorizing the Treasurer to make payments and with the Selectmen's records.


The cash on hand February 3, 1921, was verified by an actual count, and reconciled back to December 31, 1920, and the bank accounts were reconciled with the statements furnished by the banks.


My recommendation of last year, that the funds of the town be kept separate from personal cash, has been complied with, and the cash account was readily reconciled.


The accounts of the several trust funds in the custody of the Town Treasurer were examined and checked, the savings bank books representing investments of the funds were checked, the income was verified, and the disbursements were compared with the records in the Selectmen's office. In checking the cemetery perpetual care funds, it was found that withdrawals had been made from several of the accounts in excess of the income earned, thereby reducing the fund to less than the original be- quest. I must therefore repeat my previous recommendation that this practice be discontinued, and that the income of these funds be allowed to accumulate until the amount of the original bequests has been restored.


The accounts of the Collector of Taxes were examined and verified ; the commitments were proved to the warrants, the collections were checked to the commitment books, the payments to the Treasurer were compared with the Treasurer's and the Selectmen's books, the abatements were checked to the Assess- ors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled.


The outstanding accounts were further checked by mailing verification notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received I am satisfied that the accounts are correct.


-92-


Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the Treasurer's cash, together with summaries of the tax and assessment accounts and of the trust fund transactions.


While engaged in making the audit I received the usual hearty co-operation from the several town officials, and on be- half of my assistant and for myself I wish to express to them my appreciation of the courtesy received and the assistance rendered.


Respectfully submitted,


EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.
