Whereas the two proposed bills, one to continue recent practice and establish a low initial charge of $1.50 per day, and the other to cover all hospital costs by assessment of the various communities in proportion to use only, both fail to correct present unfair practices, it is
Resolved that the Voters hereby strongly urge legislation to correct the present unfair practices by providing that the intent of existing statutes be strictly adhered to, or providing that each town or city pay for patient-days of its residents at a daily rate sufficient at least to cover the actual cost of patient care and treatment, and

(1) Tha the Town Clerk be and is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to each State Senator and Representative of this Dis- trict; and

Report of Director of Accounts
March 5, 1943
To the Board of Selectmen: Mr. Roy E. Hardy, Chairman Andover, Massachusetts
GENTLEMEN:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Andover for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1942, 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:
In accordance with your instructions I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Andover for the year ending December 31, 1942, and submit the following report thereon:
The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town or com- miting bills for collection were examined, checked, and veri- fied by comparison with the reports and the records in the office of the town accountant.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being checked with the town clerk's records of
30°
town meetings and with the records of the finance commit- tee. A balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1942, was prepared and is appended to this report.
Approved vouchers and pay-rolls on file were examined and compared with the entries in the classification book, and the expenditures as recorded in the classification book were checked with the ledger accounts.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The cash book additions were certified, and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the town accountant's ledger and with the records of the depart- ments making payments to the treasurer. The payments by the treasurer were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The treasurer's cash balance on January 19, 1943, 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.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file, the outstanding bonds and coupons being listed and reconciled with state- ments furnished by the banks.
The savings bank books and securities representing the in- vestments of the trust and municipal contributory retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the disbursements veri- fied.
The record of tax titles held by the town was examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemp- tions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treas- urer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The accounts outstanding according to the pre- vious examination, and all subsequent commitments of taxes and assessments, were audited and compared with the asses-
31
sors' warrants for their collection. The payments to the treas- urer by the collector were checked to the treasurer's and the town accountant's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
Attention is again called to the uncollected taxes, motor vehicle excise taxes, and assessments of prior years, and it is recommended that a determined effort be made to secure their settlement.
The town clerk's records of sporting, dog, and town licen- ses, as well as permits, recording fees, etc., were examined and checked. The payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were certified by comparison with the receipts on file, and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
It was noted that payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game for sporting licenses and to the town treasurer for the licenses were not made on the first Monday of each month as required by law.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were ex- amined. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The records of the water and sewer charges were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements as recorded were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and recon- ciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
Verification of the outstanding tax, assessment, depart- mental, and water accounts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several school funds in the custody of the treasurer of the trustees, of the Memorial Hall Library Funds in the custody of the library treasurer, and of the John Cornell
32
Coal and Wood Fund in the custody of the treasurer of the trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved and the transactions were verified.
In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or rendering bills for collection were examined and checked in detail.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, as- sessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and municipal contributory retirement funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
