The books and accounts of the collector of water charges were examined and checked in detail. The commitments were verified, the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The records of dog, sporting, and town licenses issued, together with miscellaneous permits and fees collected by the town clerk, were examined and checked, and the recorded payments to the town and State were verified.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of receipts from departmental accounts receivable, as well as from sealer's fees, wire permits, building permits, plumb- ing permits, board of health licenses and permits, library fines, and all other departments collecting money for the town or com- mitting bills for collection, were examined and checked. The re- corded collections were compared with the payments to the trea- surer, the outstanding accounts were listed and proved, and the cash balances were verified by actual count of cash on hand.
Attention is again called to the fact that the retaining of a portion of the receipts at the convalescent home in the town in- firmary by the matron as compensation for her services is con- trary to the provisions of Section 35, Chapter 41, and Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws. It is recommenced that all receipts be paid into the town treasury, and that the entire compensation
69
of the matron be paid from an appropriation provided for the purpose.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the town treasurer's, tax col- lector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the several trust funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
