IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
April 2, 1943
To the Board of Selectmen:
Mr. Bernard M. Sullivan, Chairman Ipswich, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Ipswich for the period from November 2, 1941, to December 22, 1942, 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, THEODORE N. WADDELL
Director of Accounts
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Ipswich for the period from November 2, 1941, the date of the previous audit, to December 22, 1942, and submit the following re- port thereon :
The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several de- partments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked and reconciled with the books of the town accountant.
230
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The receipts as recorded were checked with the treasurer's records and with the records of the departments collecting money for the town, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants and the treasurer's cash book. The ledgers were analyzed, the appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's rcord of town meetings, and other ac- counts were checked with information in the departments in which the tran- sactions originated. After the necessary adjustments were made, a trial balance was drawn off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town as of December 22, 1942.
At the request of the Board of Selectmen, the necessary assistance in compiling the town report for the year 1942 was rendered to the newly ap- pointed town accountant.
The original bills and vouchers were examined and checked, and it was noted that during the period from January 1 to December 22. 1942, vouchers totaling $12,919.22 in payment of equipment, labor and supplies for the development of additional sources of water supply were charged to the appropriation for current expenses of the water department for the year 1942.
The computation of the tax rate by the assessors for 1942 was ex- amined and checked to the accountant's ledger, and it was noted that the county tuberculosis hospital assessment of $3,757.51 was raised by the as- sessors twice in the levy of 1942.
The books and accounts of the treasurer and collector, as treasurer, were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with departmental records, with the other sources from which money was paid to the town treasury, and with the records of the town accountant. The payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The cash balance on December 22, 1942, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the accounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The securities, including savings bank books, representing the invest- ments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and trust fund
231
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
commissioners, were examined and listed, and the transactions were verified by comparison with the accountant's ledger.
The records of tax titles taken by the town were examined and an- alyzed, the recorded redemptions and foreclosures were verified, and the out- standing accounts were listed, checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds, and reconciled with the town accountant's books.
The books and accounts of the treasurer and collector, as collector, were examined and checked in detail.
The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitments of taxes were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants. The recorded collections were verified by comparison with the treasurer's books and the recorded abatements were checked to the assessors' records of abatements granted.
The commitments of departmental accounts were checked with the records in the departments in which they originated. The collections, the pay- ments to the treasurer, and the abatements and allowances were checked and verified, the outstanding accounts being listed and reconciled with the ac- countant's ledger.
The outstanding 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 thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
Since the date of the last audit, a number of taxpayers have submit- ted to the present treasurer and collector proofs of payment to the former treasurer and collector, James D. Reilly, of taxes and departmental accounts which had not been entered on the books of the latter or accounted for by him to the town as follows:
As treasurer,
$ 202.60
As town collector
1,976.01
Total $2,178.61
This amount, together with the shortage of $15,587.85 as shown in the pre- vious audit report, was paid to the town in 1942 by the bonding companies.
232
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
It should be noted in this connection that although verification notices were sent, in the course of the previous audit, to all persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, no proofs of payment were presented by the taxpayers referred to above until the present collector had proceeded to enforce the collection of the outstanding accounts recom- mitted to him.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The receipts for dog and hunting and fishing licenses were checked with the records of licenses issued, and the payments were verified.
The records of licenses issued by the selectmen were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's cash book.
The records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, including those of the health. public welfare, school, electric light, water, and cemetery departments, were examined and checked by comparison with the treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
The surety bonds on file for the several town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, tax title possessions and department accounts. together with schedules showing the trust fund transactions.
On behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express apprecia- tion for the cooperation extended by the various town officials during the pro- gress of the audit.
Respectfully yours,
HERMAN B. DINE
Assistant Director of Accounts
