THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
August 14, 1929.
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Howard K. Glidden, Chairman, Swampscott, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :- I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1929, 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 Accountant 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 audit of the books and accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1929, and submit the following report thereon:
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were ex- amined and checked. The receipts, as recorded on the books, were checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the treasurer's books. The recorded payments were checked to the selectmen's warrants authorizing such payments and with the treasurer's cash book. The accountant's ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts being checked to the town meet- ing records of appropriations made and also with the classification book. A balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on June 30, 1929, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked, and the footings of the cash book were proved. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the accountant's ledger and with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer. The payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.
The cash balance was verified, the cash in the office being counted and the bank balances being reconciled with the statements furnished by the various banks of deposit.
The collector's books and accounts were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes and assessments were verified, and the re- corded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted. The payments to the treasurer were checked with the treasurer's books and the accountant's ledger, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The commitments of the water accounts were examined and checked. The recorded abatements were checked to the records in the water department, the payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's books and the accountant's ledger, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled. The outstanding taxes and water accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts as listed are correct.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
The records of sporting and dog licenses issued by the town clerk were examined, and the recorded payments to the State and the county, respectively, were verified with the receipts on file.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, of town hall rentals, of the library and cemetery departments, and of licenses issued by the selectmen and the health department, as well as the accounts of the highway, health, public welfare and school departments, were ex- amined. The reported payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's books and the outstanding accounts were listed and checked to the accountant's ledger.
Tables are appended to this report showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and summaries of the taxes, assessments and depart- mental accounts receivable.
While engaged in making the audit I received the co-operation of the various department officials and I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The School Committee wishes to preface the report of the Superin- tendent of Schools by a brief statement of the policy governing its operations during the past year.
It appears that public sentiment favors a strengthening of the school personnel and a higher teaching level. Such is the impression which has actuated your committee in its decisions and we believe, because of increasing public interest in this direction, there will be a corresponding improvement in the work accomplished by the schools.
