The town clerk's records of sporting, dog, and town licenses, as well as of permits, recording fees, etc., were examined and checked. The payments to the Division of Fish- eries and Game were verified by comparison with the re- ceipts on file. and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds of officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined. 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 books and accounts of the public works department were also examined. The records of 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 reconciled with the town accountant's ledger ac- counts.
40
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 Cor- nell 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.
The records of cash receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the inspectors of buildings, wires, and plumbing, of the health, police, school, and library departments, and of all other departments wherein money is collected for the town were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer and the cash on hand being verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the con- dition and transactions of the trust, investment, and municipal contributory retirement funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town of- ficials 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
