The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records of the town accountant.
The town accountant's general and appropriation ledgers were analyzed. The appropriations, loan authorizations, and transfers, as entered, were compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed in town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on February 6, 1948 was prepared and is appended to this report.
The accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the various sources from which money was paid into the town trea- sury, while the records of disbursements were compared with the accountant's books and with the treasury warrants approved by the board of selectmen.
The treasurer's cash balance on February 6, 1948 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled notes and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ment of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were listed. The income and withdrawals werc verified, and the balances were reconciled with the books of the town accountant, and, in the case of the retirement funds, with the books of the retirement board.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and listed. The taxes transferred by the collector were proved, the re- ported redemptions were checked with the treasurer's receipts, and the outstanding accounts were verified and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes were checked and reconciled with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
The assessors' records of abatements granted were reconciled

with the collector's books and the accountant's ledgers. The as- sessors' warrants for the commitment of taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and water leins were examined and checked with the detailed lists. The records of assessments ap- portioned and suspended were examined, while the apportioned as- sessments not due and the suspended assessments were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The books and accounts of the collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, depart- mental, and water accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, and all subsequent commitments, were audited and compared with the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the town treasurer and with the town accountant's ledger, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant them, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the out- standing accounts were listed and reconciled with the town ac- countant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, depart- mental, and water accounts were 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 it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The work in the collector's office showed marked improvement, the books and records having been neatly and accurately kept.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The receipts from dog and sporting licenses were proved, and the payments to the town and the State were verified.
The surety bonds of the financial officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the board of selectmen, the building inspector, the inspector of plumbing, and by the police and health departments, as well as the records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the school, the library, and the cemetery departments, were examined and reconciled with the town treasurer's books and with the town accountant's records.
The petty cash advances in the various town departments were verified by actual count.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, departmental and water accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
During the progress of the audit, cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for my- self, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
