State Audit


Mr. Francis X. Lang


Director of Accounts


Department of Corporations and Taxation


State House, Boston.


Dear Sir:


As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Braintree for the period from May 23, 1948, the date of the previous audit, to June 23, 1949, and report thereon as follows:


An examination and verification was made of the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection.


An analysis was made of the ledger accounts, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriation accounts and loan authorizations were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by comparison with authorizations on file in the town accountant's office.


The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on June 23, 1949.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on June 23, 1949, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited, by verification of the cash and cash memoranda in the office, and by examination of the savings bank books.


36


The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the cancelled securities and coupons on file and were proved with the amounts falling due.


The savings bank books and securities representing the trust, investment, and retirement fund accounts in the custody of the town treasurer and the treasurer of the library trustees were examined and listed. The income and disbursements were proved. and the transfers to the town were verified by comparison with the treasurer's cash book.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and listed. The additions to the tax title account were compared with the tax books, the redemptions were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the foreclosures were verified. The tax title transactions were further verified by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.


The payroll deductions for federal taxes and for the purchase of bonds were examined and checked. The payments to the Bureau of Internal Revenue for taxes withheld from salaries of employees and the payments for the purchase of bonds were veri- fied, and the balances remaining in the general treasury were proved to the respective ledger accounts.


The records of assessments apportioned by the assessors were examined and checked. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the apportionments added to taxes were verified, and the apportioned assessments not due were listed and reconciled with the deferred revenue accounts in the town accountant's ledger.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes, excise, and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved to the warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the account- ant's ledger.


The records of departmental, electric light, and water accounts were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the records of the departments authorized to grant


37


them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with . the respective ledger accounts.


Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, depart- mental, electric light, and water accounts was obtained 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 outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of the town clerk were examined for dog and sporting licenses issued. The payments to the town treasurer were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were checked with the receipts on file.


The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to file them were examined and found to be in proper form.


The records of the selectmen, the building inspector, and the sealer of weights and measures, of the health, school, and library departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.


There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, electric light, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.


While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the 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

Board of Selectmen JOHN W. MAHAR, Chairman


RAYMOND P. PALMER, Clerk ALBERT E. ROBERTS


The Board of Selectmen have held thirty-five regular meetings and twenty special meetings during 1949. As these meetings have all been open to the public and for the most part reported in the local press, no attempt will be made here to list all the routine activities of the board.


The income, from permits, fees, etc., issued through our office amounted to over $8,000.00 this year. We also sold at public auction Tax Title Possessions that brought $5,599.96.


Major repairs have been made on the outside of the Fire and Police Station at a cost of $10,000.00, putting this building into excellent condition. The Town Hall roof and gutters have been repaired, a new heating system installed and some interior painting done. The sprinkler system is being installed in the Highway Garage.

We are in the process of purchasing land for the town dump from the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad. Land has been taken for the new school in East Braintree.


Early in the year we received an invitation from Mr. Dolph Smith, Chairman of the Braintree-Bocking Urban Council of Braintree, Essex, England, to have our town represented at a week's celebration of the 750th Anniversary of the granting by King John to the Bishop of London of a charter for holding a pub- lic market in Braintree. We appointed a committee with Harold Robinson as chairman to make the necessary arrangements. They did an excellent job and sent Dr. Stacy Southworth to England as our representative. On our behalf, he presented to our mother town a bronze plaque commemorating the occasion, a thousand copies of a specially prepared booklet about our town, and a beautiful hand-made album of pictures and greetings from various organizations. All of this was financed by private donations and from the proceeds of the sale of the booklets to our own people. Other Braintree people who went to England and participated in this historic celebration were: Mrs. Eugene Nolte, Mrs. Margaret Bodell, Mr. Archie Morrison and Mr. Raymond P. Palmer. A very complete report of the activities of this committee is on file.


40


We call attention to the report of the Highway Supt. showing the amount of work done by that department this year. We have obtained the promise of State participation in the reconstruction of Elm and Hayward Streets from Cedar Street through to Quincy Avenue. A $30,000 grant of State money under the provisions of Chapter 90 will be made in 1950.


In accordance with the growth of the town and the many requests from citizens for more protection, we are supporting the requests of the Chiefs of the Fire and Police Departments for additional men.


Our Excess and Deficiency Fund increased $134,199.44 this year and now shows a balance of $361,681.82. While this is most gratifying we should not overlook our huge bonded debt. At the close of 1949 bonds outstanding amounted to $1,491,000.00 with $670,000.00 more authorized and about to be issued. This makes a total bonded debt of $2,161,000.00 as compared with only $379,000 at the end of 1945. Any further borrowings should be most carefully considered and justified before being given our approval.

General Relief-There will be paid back to Braintree about one- third of the $28,217.17 by Cities and Towns on settled cases and the State on unsettled cases.


Town Infirmary-There will be paid back to Braintree $1,334.28 out of the $5,521.10 by refunds, and from other Cities and Towns and the State.


Three categories of relief are administered by this Depart- ment, namely: Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, and General Relief, including the Town Infirmary. On Old Age Assistance and General Relief cases revisits are made by our Social Workers every six months and on Aid to Dependent Chil- dren cases every three months.


The Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts meet the larger part of the costs of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children. We have to comply with the Laws, also the Rules and Regulations promulgated by both the Federal and State Governments in these categories. General Relief is given on a temporary basis as the circumstances require. The entire cost of Braintree settled cases is borne by the Town.


The more important laws passed by the 1949 Legislature affecting Old Age Assistance are summarized: Cash surrender

value in life insurance increased from $500.00 to $1,000.00. Bank deposits increased from $300.00 to $500.00 for an individual. . An item to be included in the budget to be known as "Leisure Time Activities" for all recipients at the rate of $4.00 per month and it is further provided that there shall be reimbursement by the Com- monwealth to the full amount thereof, notwithstanding any other provision of law. Affecting the three categories of relief is an in- crease in the per diem hospital rates from $8.00 to $10.00.


The average cost per person per month up to December 1, 1949, was $61.55 on Old Age Assistance. This includes all medical expenses. The item of "Leisure Time Activities" became effective on December 1, 1949, therefore, increasing the cost per person to $65.55 per month.

Department of Veterans' Services GEORGE A. SHORTLE, Director


Expenses for 1949 show a decrease over 1948, notwithstand- ing an increase of cases. This condition is due to the fact that hospitalization and medication for 1948 was $6,216.95 as com- pared with $2,350.56 in 1949. This should not be construed as a barometer or indication, however, with relation to medication and hospital expenses in 1950. There has been a sharp upward trend in applications for relief as we enter 1950, due principally to unemployment.


The Department is appreciative of the excellent cooperation of the Veterans Administration Office in Quincy in the matter of assistance in insurance claims, pensions, adjustments, etc., which have been beneficial to the Veterans.


We are maintaining a photostatic service for the Veterans and are pleased to be of assistance in any problem confronting them.
