DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
March 4, 1926.
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Harry D. Linscott, Chairman, Swamp- scott, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :- I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Swampscott for the period from July 1 to December 31, 1925, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of 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 Cor- porations and Taxation, State House, Boston.
Sir :- As directed by you, I have made an examination of the books and accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from July 1 to December 31, 1925, and submit the following report thereon:
The books in the accounting department were checked in detail, the selectmen's warrants being compared with the approved bills and the postings being checked to the appropriation accounts.
The recorded receipts were checked with the financial records of the several departments collecting money for the town or sending out bills to be subsequently collected by the town collector.
The general ledger was checked, and all accounts kept therein were listed, analyzed, and used to prove the accounts of all other depart- ments, including the treasurer's cash and the collector's receipts and payments. Differences between the general ledger accounts and the departmental records were corrected, and the accounts adjusted; and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared show- ing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1925.
The Town Clerk's records of town meetings were examined, and all financial votes were listed and checked to the Accountant's ledger, being found to have been correctly entered therein.

DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
1926]
The books and accounts of the Treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The cash receipts were proved by a comparison with the general leger accounts, as well as with the records of all departments making payments to the Treasurer; and the cash pay- ments were checked and verified with the treasury warrants author- izing such payments.
The cash balance was verified by a reconciliation of the bank bal- ances, as shown by the Treasurer's check book and with statements received from the various banks in which town funds are deposited.
The trust and investment funds in the custody of the Treasurer were examined, the receipts and payments in connection therewith being checked and compared with the general ledger accounts. The securities, consisting of savings deposit books, were examined and listed.
Tables, showing the transactions of these funds during the year, with the balances on hand at the end of the year, are appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the Collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes and special assessments were verified ,and the abatements were checked and compared with the Assessors' records of abatements granted. The payments to the Treasurer were compared and verified with the Treasurer's cash re- ceipts.
The outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the gen- eral ledger accounts.
The outstanding accounts were further 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, I am satisfied that the accounts as listed are correct.
The books and accounts of the Water Department were examined and checked. The commitments to the Collector were verified by a comparison with the general ledger accounts, and the collections and abatements were verified by listing the outstanding accounts and reconciling them with the general ledger balances.
The outstanding water accounts, as shown by the appended balance sheet, amounted, on December 31, 1925, to $12,591.52, and date from 1921 to the present time. It is, therefore, recommended that the Water Department co-operate with the Town Collector in enforcing collections and thus secure prompt settlement of the overdue water accounts receivable.
The Town Clerk's records of licenses issued for dogs and also for hunting and fishing were examined, and payments to the State and County Treasurer were verified by receipts on file.
The outstanding debt of the town was examined, listed and verified by a reconciliation of the receipts and payments of the Treasurer, and the amounts outstanding at the beginning and end of the audit period.
The deeds representing the tax titles taken by the town for unpaid taxes and assessments were examined, listed and verified by a com- parison with the general ledger accounts.
The records of cash receipts of the Sealer of Weights and Measures, the Building Inspector, the Selectmen's Department, the Town Hall, and the Health, Police, Poor, School, Library, and Park Departments

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
were examined, and the payments to the Treasurer were verified by a comparison with the Treasurer's cash book and the general ledger.
Tables showing a reconciliation of the Treasurer's cash, and sum- maries of the tax, assessments, and water accounts receivable are appended to this report.
While engaged in making the audit, I received the co-operation of the various departmental officials, and I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and myself, to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.
