The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts on account of dog, sport- ing, and town licenses and permits, as well as from mar- riage intentions, recording fees, copies of records, and mis- cellaneous charges were verified and compared with the pay- ments to the town treasurer and to the State. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on January14, 1956 was verified by reconciliation of the bank account with a state- ment furnished by the depository and by actual count of the cash in the office.


The surety bonds on file for the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


The available records of departmental cash collections of the sealer of weights and measures and the inspectors of buildings, wires, and plumbing, as well as of the police, fire, health, school, and cemetery departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the verified payments to the treasurer, and the cash on hand in the several departments, including petty cash advances, was proved by actual count.


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, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession, de- partmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules show-


81


ing the condition and transactions of the several trust, in- vestment, and retirement funds.


While engaged in making the audit cooperation was re- ceived from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts
