THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS BUREAU OF STATISTICS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON


To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Henry S. Baldwin, Chairman, Swamp- scott, Mass .:


GENTLEMEN,-I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January I to June 30, 1918, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 598, of the Acts of 1910, as amended. This report is in the form of a report to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Bureau, who was placed in charge of the work.


Very truly yours, CHARLES F. GETTEMY, Director.


Mr. Charles F. Gettemy, Director Bureau of Statistics, State House, Boston:


SIR,-In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January I to June 30, 1918, and submit the following report thereon :


The records of financial transactions of the several departments were examined and checked, and cash on hand was verified. The surety bonds given by the several department officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined, and found to be in proper form.


Statements relative to certain of the departments examined follow :


Accounting Department : The books and accounts of the accountant were examined and checked. The receipts and payments were compared with the treasurer's books and with warrants and returns from the several departments making payments to the treasurer.


The appropriations made by the town, as shown by the ledger, were checked with the attested copy furnished by the town clerk.


The cash book entries were checked to the ledger, the ledger was footed, and a trial balance was taken off, proving the same to be in balance.


The classification book was inspected and all items of receipt and pay- ment were entered up to the date of examination.


The work in this office reflects credit on the accountant ; the accounts are kept up to date, and entries are made in a clear and painstaking manner.


Treasurer's Department : The books and accounts of the treasurer's office were examined. The cash book was footed and the cash balance

19[8]


compared with the bank balances as shown by the check book. The bank balances were proved and reconciled with the bank statements.


The recorded receipts were compared with the departmental returns to the town accountant, and with the accountant's books. The disburse- ments were checked with the selectmen's warrants, and with the account- ant's books. The debt and interest payments were checked with cancelled securities and coupons on file.


All receipts are deposited in the bank and all payments are made by check. The books have been well kept and financial transactions are easily verified.


Collector's Department : The books and accounts of the collector were examined. Outstanding taxes and assessments were listed and reconciled with the accountant's books.


The reported receipts were checked to the commitment book, and the abatements were compared with the assessors' notices to the accountant.


Verification notices were mailed to one hundred taxpayers, selected at random, whose names appeared on the books, and enough replies were received to prove the accounts correct.


Water and Sewer Department: The commitment book was footed, and outstanding accounts were listed. The cash book was footed, and payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's and accountant's books. The abatements were checked to the commit- ment book and compared with the notices to the accountant.


The financial records of the town clerk, janitor of the town hall, sealer of weights and measures, and board of health were also examined and checked with the treasurer's and accountant's books. All differences in receipts and payments to the treasurer were represented by cash on hand.


The securities of the several funds were not audited at this time, but will be reported upon at the end of the year.


Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, a summary of the tax, assessment, and water accounts, and a balance sheet as of June 30, 1918.


The town officials rendered valuable assistance in making the audit by furnishing me with all books and papers needed, for which I wish to express my appreciation.


Respectfully sumitted,


EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
