The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account since the previous examination were compared with the tax collector's records, and the redemptions were checked with the amounts recorded on the treasurer's cash book. The tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes, motor vehicle excise and special assessments were examined and checked with the town accountant's books. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's records, the abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the accounts in the town accountant's office.
The town clerk's records of licenses and permits issued and of fees collected were examined and checked, the payments to the
56
treasurer being verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the accountant's records.
The records of sporting and of dog licenses were also examined, the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being checked to the treasurer's cash book.
It was again noted that payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game for sporting licenses and to the town treasurer for dog licenses were not made on the first Monday of each month as required by law.
The surety bonds furnished by the departmental officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental accounts receivable and of sewer and water charges were examined and checked. The re- corded charges, collections, and abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the ledger accounts.
The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental and water accounts were further verified 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 ac- counts, as listed, are correct.
The securities and savings bank books representing the invest- ment 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 Coal and Wood Fund in the custody of the treasurer of the trustees were personally examined and listed. The income was proved and the disbursements and transfers were verified.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and reconciled.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet mentioned above, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, assess- ment, tax title, and departmental accounts as well as tables showing the trust and retirement fund transactions.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received
57
from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
