The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the trust and contributory re- tirement funds were examined and listed. The transfers to the town were verified and the income of the several funds was proved and found to be correct.
The treasurer's records of tax titles held by the town were ex- amined and checked in detail. The taxes transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's tax books, the recorded redemptions on account of tax titles were checked to the treasurer's cash books, and the tax titles dis- claimed and foreclosed were veri- fied. The tax titles held on Octo- ber 31, 1943, were listed and check- ed with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The outstand-

ing accounts at the time of the previous examination and all sub- sequent commitments of taxes, as- sessments, and water charges were analyzed and checked. The pay- ments to the treasurer were com- pared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the assessors' and depart- mental records abatements granted, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled with the accounts as shown in the accountant's ledger.
The quality of the clerical work in the office of the tax collector shows great improvement, although the time required to prove the tax accounts could be further reduced if the accounts outstanding were compared frequently with the ac- countant's control accounts and any differences found were reconciled.
Verification notices were mailed to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the re- plies received thereto indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of sport- ing, dog, and town licenses were examined, the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified with receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's and accountant's books.
The surety bonds furnished by the town officials to be bonded were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of
weights and measures and of the health, school, and library depart- ments were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer be- ing compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and rec- onciled.
THE WORK OF THE AUDIT WAS GREATLY REDUCED DUE TO THE GREAT EFFORT MADE BY THE OFFICIALS TO IM- PROVE THE GENERAL PRAC- TICES, AND THE BALANCE SHEET, WHEN COMPARED WITH THAT OF A YEAR AGO, SHOWS A GREAT IMPROVED FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Appended to this report, in ad- dition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, assess- ment, tax titles, and departmental accounts, together with tables rela- tive to the trust and municipal con- tributory retirement funds, and a summary of the water department accounts.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express apprecia- tion.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts

Report of Town Accountant
December 31, 1943
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Saugus, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my sixth an- nual report as Town Accountant for the year 1943. The report is made in accordance with the State . System of Accounting as is set forth in the following schedules. In order to fully explain some of the major accomplishments during the past year and some of the prob- lems to be considered during the coming year, I respectfully submit the following for your considera- tion:
1. GENERAL FINANCIAL CONDITION
Appropriation Accounts :
At the close of the year, the va- rious appropriation accounts show- ed unexpended balances amounting to $25,528.78 which reverted to sur- plus revenue. This is the largest amount that has reverted to this account in the past eleven years.
Temporary Loans:
Outstanding temporary loans in anticipation of taxes have remained at $200,000.00, the same as on De- cember 31, 1942. This amount is probably the normal amount of - outstanding loans of this type that the town should have at the close of the year according to the balance sheet attached hereto.
Tax Title Loans:
The sum of $48,632.97 was paid on outstanding tax title notes and no borrowing on tax titles was made during 1943. This reduced the amount of outstanding tax title notes from $252,000.00 to $203,- 367.
Town Indebtedness:
The total amount of town in- debtedness was reduced from $922,- 000.00 to $848,367.03, a reduction of $73,632.97 during the past year.
Outstanding Taxes:
A comparison of the outstanding taxes shown on the attached bal- ance sheet with the outstanding taxes shown on balance sheets of previous years shows that a con- certed effort has been made by the tax collector during the past year to clear the old outstanding taxes. The present outstanding tax list is now in better condition than it has been since 1930.
2. UNPAID BILLS
On closing the books of the town, it was found that there remained an unpaid bill in the amount of $2,278.53 for water purchased from the City of Melrose. It appears that this water is furnished to the town to supply the Golden Hills section and that during the first quarter of 1943, a serious break in the pipe line along the edge of one of the ponds in this section was the cause of this excessive water charge. When the article pertain- ing to this unpaid bill is presented at the 1944 annual town meeting, a full explanation of the facts should be given the town meeting members by the proper authority.
3. VICTORY TAX AND WITHHOLDING TAX DEDUCTIONS
During 1943, the provisions of the Federal Revenue Act whereby certain deductions must be made from the gross earnings of all town employees for income tax pur- poses have been complied with. The necessary new records were set up and the detail work involved has been absorbed by the Accounting Department. This has also caused additional payroll detail work in all the various town departments and I wish to thank the various de- partment heads and employees re- sponsible for making up depart- mental payrolls for their splendid cooperation during the year.
4. RETIREMENT SYSTEM RECORDS
The entire records of the Con- tributory Retirement System have
1943]
REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
61
been personally handled by the Town Accountant since the effec- tive date, July 1, 1937. During this time no monies have been paid for this work which have been charged to the expense and administration of this system. New legislation enacted in 1942 which made the in- clusion of all reserve policemen and call firemen of cities and towns mandatory has increased the detail work of the system approximately thirty-three and one-third per cent. In view of the fact that the Re- tirement System should rightfully bear its fair share of the expense of the keeping of its own records and also in view of the fact that some person other than the Town Accountant should be familiar with the mechanics of the entire R -- tirment System, it has been agreed by the members of the Retirement Board and the Town Accountant to pay the junior clerk in the Ac- counting Department one half of her annual salary from each of their respective appropriations.
5. POST-WAR RESERVES
Many states have enacted laws which authorize municipalities to set up reserve funds for postwar capital improvements, repair of public improvements or equipment replacements. Chapter 4 of the Acts of 1942 and Chapter 5 of the Acts of 1943 authorize Massachu- setts cities and towns to appro-
priate money for this purpose and such appropriation may only be used for the purposes for which a city or town may borrow for a period of not less than ten years in accordance with Sec. 7 and 8, Chapter 44 of the General Laws. These funds may be used in some cases in accordance with Sec. 1, Chapter 49 of the Acts of 1933.
There is a growing tendency on the part of many town officials and citizens to set up a post-war re- serve, fund. This problem should be carefully considered by your Board, the Planning Board, the Finance Committee and the finan- cial officers of the town. A definite program of constructive post-war planning should be presented to the 1944 annual town-meeting.
Balance sheets and detailed finan- cial reports have been furnished to various financial institutions, lo- cal individuals and organizations. During the past year vital infor- mation was furnished the Federal and State governments pertaining to the National Defense program.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the State Auditors, department heads and individuals for their co- operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH QUIRK, Town Accountant
