SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF STATE AUDIT REPORT

Henry F. Long, Commissioner
Francis X. Lang, Director of Accounts
January 9, 1948
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Albert Bindon, Chairman Berkley, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Berkley for the period from October 27, 1946 to November 8, 1947, 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, (Signed) FRANCIS X. LANG Director of Accounts
Mr. Francis X. Lang 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 Berkley for the period from October 27, 1946, the date of the previous examination, to November 8, 1947, the following report being submitted thereon :
The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town were examined, checked, and verified.
The appropriations voted by the town were listed, the general and appropriation accounts kept by the accounting officer were analyzed, and a balance sheet, showing the finan-
25
ANNUAL REPORT
cial condition of the town on November 8, 1947, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several de- partments collecting money for the town and with other sour- ces from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the disbursements were checked with the selectmen's war- rants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.
The cash book was added throughout for the period covered by the audit, and the treasurer's cash balance on November 8, 1947 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the balances were found to be as reported.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred from the tax levies to the tax title account were verified, the reported redemp- tions and foreclosures were checked, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and compared with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked. The taxes, excises and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists were audited and recon- ciled with the assessors' warrants for their collection.
The collector's cash books were footed, the payments to the town treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were ex- amined. The recorded receipts were compared with the treas- urer's cash book and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, and depart- mental accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it would ap-
26
ANNUAL REPORT
pear that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the select- men, the town clerk, and the police department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furn- ish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the available records of all other departments receiving money for the town were checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The treasurer and accounting officer is to be commended for the accurate manner in which his clerical duties have been performed.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the con- dition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation received from all the town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
I certify the above to be a true summary of the essential features of the state audit report.
Attest : FRANCIS F. G. ANDREWS Town Clerk
Chapter 44, Section 40 of the General Laws, requires the town clerk to publish the report or a summary of its essen- tial features at the expense of the town. Most of the last two audit reports prior to the above have been published in an- nual town reports, including tables and balance sheet. How- ever, since the financial report at the end of the year is also published, this year the tables and balance sheet have been omitted, to save duplication, and space in the annual report. The copy of the audit report sent to the town clerk is on file in his office, and is open to public inspection at any con- venient time.
Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS F. G. ANDREWS Town Clerk

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN
The Town of Berkley was fortunate in the past year in the small amount of damage done by forest fires, in the month of March and April, and again in October. Fire conditions were very serious and while other districts were having very serious fires the Town of Berkley had very little in compari- son. This was due largely to the fine cooperation of the resi- dents of the Town; the Fire Department answered approxi- mately 20 fires and the prompt action of the Fire Department in getting to the fires not only saved valuable acres of wood land but at the same time reduced the cost of fire fighting to the Town.
At this time I wish to express my appreciation to the Deputy Wardens and others who have cooperated in any way in the carrying out the duties of this office.

Forrest Warden
REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
This is to report that in compliance with a vote passed at the last annual meeting the Board of Selectmen proceded to establish a fire department, on investigation it was found that equipment owned by the Town was of very little use in case of fire. It consisted of one pumping unit, that was not in working order and a half dozen spray cans. This pumping unit has been repaired and is now in fair condition. We have increased our equipment by the purchase of a Tank Truck with a capacity of 750 gallons, the pump in this is not satis- factory and we recommend that funds be made available to equip this unit with a high pressure pump. We have in- creased the number of spray cans by 60. All cans not needed on the Truck and by the Deputy Wardens will be stationed in different parts of the Town where they will be available to anyone in case of fire.
We recommend that funds be made available at the coming Town Meeting to purchase the following equipment

which is mandatory under state law; vis. one or more Smoke Helmets, one Life Net, one gun or other appliance capable of firing a weight with line attached into any window or over any house. The Fire Department has been called for three house fires in the past year, the most serious being the barn owned by Mr. Warren L. Ide.
The account of the Fire Department is summarized in the Town report.

We have assisted Mr. Tinkham of the Registry on Peri- odic Inspection checkups. We patroled the town on July 3rd and 4th, and Halloween. During the Dog Racing period, Police Officers directed traffic at various intersections for a period of 100 days.
This year the Town received $73.10 from the First Dis- trict Court, which was obtained by fines and I hope that next year we can increase this amount.
I am pleased to announce that the Town has its first Uniformed Police Force. The Officers are also equipped with billys and flashing lights for their cars. This equipment was secured by the Berkley Police Relief Association and was not of any expense to the Town.
I have taken great pleasure in serving you as Chief of Police and I hope that I have been worthy of my appoint- ment. I wish to thank you and the Police Officers for your excellent co-operation in carrying out the work of the de- partment.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. ASHLEY Chief of Police
