November 30, 1925.
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Harry D. Linscott, Chairman, Swamp- scott, Massachusetts :
Sir :- I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the Town of Swampscott for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1925, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form af a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corpo- rations and Taxation, State House, Boston.
Sir :- As directed by you, I have made an audit of the accounts of the Town of Swampscott for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1925, and submit the following report thereon:
The books and accounts in the Town Accountant's office were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the financial records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the Treasurer's books. The recorded pay- ments were checked with the Selectmen's warrants authorizing pay- ments and with the Treasurer's cash book.
An analysis of the ledger was made, the accounts were compared with the classification book, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of June 30, 1925.
The appropriation accounts were examined and all appropria- tions, transfers and loans voted by the town were checked with the Town Cerk's records of town meetings.
The payments of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled bonds, notes, and coupons on file.
The books and accounts of the Treasurer were examined and checked. The footing of the cash book was proved, the reported re- ceipts were checked and compared with the Accountant's books

and with the records of the departments making payments to the Treasurer, and the payments were compared with the warrants authorizing disbursements of town funds.
The cash balance was verified by a reconciliation of the bank account with the bank statements furnished by the banks.
The securities of the trust, investment, and sinking funds were not examined at this time, but will be reported upon at the end of the year.
The books and accounts of the Collector were examined and checked, the commitments of taxes and assessments were verified, and the abatements were checked to the Assessors' records of abate- ments granted. The payments to the Treasurer were checked to the Treasurer's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the Accountant's ledger.
The outstanding water accounts were checked, listed, and recon- ciled with the Accountant's ledger, and the commitments of the Water Department charges were verified by the department's rec- ords.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing no- tices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received, I am satisfied that the accounts are correct.
The records of the Water Department were examined, the records of abatements granted being checked and the charges, as shown by the card ledger accounts, being compared with the commitments to the Collector.
The deeds representing the tax titles taken by the town for taxes were examined, listed, and proved to the Accountant's ledger.
The Town Clerk's records of dog and of hunting and fishing licenses were examined, and payments to the state and the county were verified by receipts on file.
The records of receipts from the Sealer of Weights and Measures, rent of Town Hall, elevator licenses, library fines and for licenses, issued by the Selectmen and the Health Department were examined, and the reported payments to the Treasurer were checked to the Treasurer's and the Accountant's books.
Tables showing a reconciliation of the Treasurer's cash and summaries of the tax, assessment and water accounts receivable accounts are appended to this report.
While engaged in making the audit, I received the cooperation of the various department officials, and I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.
