Report of Parent Teacher Association
A brief summary of the Duxbury Parent-Teacher Association's immediate plan and ultimate objective is herewith set forth :
In conformity with one of the basic objectives of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and as a real and accepted prerequisite for the intelligent training of our school children, more stress than ever will be laid upon instilling a greater interest in school problems among parents and teachers. This will result in a closer and more active cooperation for a continued realization of this educational need.
In order that this desire for a closer cooperation be- tween parents and teachers can be better achieved, plans for our P. T. A. meetings have been scheduled for the school year as follows:
A special meeting for the parents and teachers of pupils in Grades One and Two will be held at Tarkiln School; Grades Three and Four at the Village School; Grades Five and Six at the High School, and Grades Seven to Twelve inclusive also at the High School. Special meetings of this sort, being held for specific groups and in their particular school buildings, it is believed, will make for attendance proportionately greater within that group.
273
However, three general meetings for all parents and teachers will be held at the High School and able and accredited speakers for these occasions will, if possi- ble, be procured to present talks on subjects that should prove of real interest to parents and teachers alike.
The above outlined plan, it is hoped, will, when tried, succeed in accomplishing a greater and more genuine community interest in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES R. CARLSON,
President.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Duxbury :
We are pleased to submit the Ninety-Fifth Annual Report of the Town of Duxbury.
First, we wish to express our appreciation of the gift made to the town this year by Mr. Eben Ellison for the improvement of Ellison Beach. Improved conditions at this beach will make it a more desirable recreation spot for townspeople, and will be more and more appreci- ated as time goes on and beaches are more crowded each year.
The Sea Wall at Duxbury Beach, after so many de- lays, was completed last summer and will afford pro- tection to considerable property in that area and en- hance its value.
Our supply of copies of the Protective By-Law being exhausted, new pamphlets were printed which includ- ed the amendment voted in March. We intend to have the Town By-Laws published in pamphlet form also.
Unforseen requirements in the Welfare Department, and Forest Fire expenditures due to the severe and ex- tended drought, depleted the Reserve Fund and left an unusual number of unpaid bills, principally in the Vet- erans' Benefits, Snow and Ice Removal, and Welfare Departments.
9
We would like to bring to your attention several sub- jects which we believe will require special attention in 1948:
The facilities at our several town landings should be improved, especially at Mattakeesett Court.
We recommend that a full time Harbor Master be on duty during the months of June, July, August, and Sep- tember. This would tend to regulate the use of the basin and floats and would cost about $500.00 a year.
The residents in the vicinity of Old Cove Beach have requested a float.
Our Highways will need more attention in 1948. The new highway dump truck purchased this year has been a valuable asset and should continue to save money and increase the usefulness of this department. We hope to continue participation in the Chapter 90 Highway pro- gram.
The cost of operating every department in the town has increased during 1947. In 1948 there will be a further increase. We will raise the wage rate from .85 to .90 per hour for ordinary labor and to $1.00 per hour for foremen and for special assignments. This will help to offset the increased cost of living to some extent.
Work in the Town Treasurer's office has increased to a great extent due to the adoption of the Retirement System.
The adoption of the Retirement System required a great deal of the town accountant's time. The par- ticipation of the State in Veterans' Benefits, while re-

ducing the town's financial burden, also placed ad- ditional demands on the accountant. New requirements in the field of taxation and a heavy increase in the num- ber of departmental vouchers required even more cler- ical time.
Having considered the increased work in 1947, and feeling that we are not in a position to hire a full time assistant, we have voted to accept the classified report filed by the accountant. It is our opinion that this re- capitulation of the totals in the classification book gives the taxpayer a far clearer picture of the purposes for which money is expended, and we know from experi- ence that this form of report will be of great assistance to the incoming Finance Committee.
We wish to thank the various officers and committees for their cooperation and assistance during the past year.

State House, Boston
Sir :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Dux-
12
bury for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1946, and report thereon as follows:
The recorded financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined. checked, and verified by comparison with the books of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the records of the several departments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants issued by the selectmen and with the treasur- er's cash book. The appropriations, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and the transfers from the reserve fund were verified.
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1946. This balance sheet indicates that the town is in excellent financial condition. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examin- ed and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the depart- ments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town trea- sury, while the payments were checked with the select- men's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on March 3, 1947 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
13
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and were checked with the can- celled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and of the Plymouth Five Cents Savings Bank were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as entered in the treasurer's cash book.
The tax title deeds on hand were examined and listed. The amounts transferred from the tax levies to the tax title account were reconciled with the col- lector's accounts, the tax titles redeemed were com- pared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abate- ments were verified, and the tax title deeds, as listed, were reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The poll, property, and motor vehicle excise taxes outstanding according to the pre- vious examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and checked to the warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.
The records of departmental accounts committed for collection were examined and checked. The charges
14
were proved, the recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax and departmental accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it would appear that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and mis- cellaneous town licenses, as well as of permits and fees collected, were examined. The payments to the State were verified by comparison with the receipts on file, and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town offi- cials required to file such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of receipts from selectmen's licenses and permits, from the sealer of weights and measures, and from the police and health departments, as well as from all other departments in which money was col- lected for the town, were examined and reconciled with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
In addition to the balance sheet previously men- tioned, there are appended to this report tables show- ing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's
15
cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to ex- press appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
