REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF
THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TREASURER OF THE TOWN OF WEYMOUTH FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 21, 1944, TO JULY 18, 1944
Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws August 22, 1944
August 22, 1944
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Harry Christensen, Chairman
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the treasurer of the town of Weymouth for the period from March 21, 1944, to July 18, 1944, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours,
Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts
TNW :FC-MMH Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts
Departments of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston Sir:
In accordance with your instructions I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the treasurer of the town of Weymouth for the period from March 21, 1944, the date of the previous examination of his accounts, to July 18, 1944, the following report being submitted thereon :
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed, proved with
60
the deposits in the banks wherein town funds are kept, and checked with the town accountant's books and with the sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The treasurer's cash balance on July 18, 1944, was compared with the cash and securities on hand and with the amounts on deposit in the several banks, this reconciliation showing an apparent shortage of $15,000 in the treasurer's general cash as of July 18, 1944. This is due to the fact that a check for $15,000 drawn by the treasurer on July 12, 1944, to transfer $15,000 from the account of the town with the Second National Bank of Boston to the town's account with the Granite Trust Company, was not credited by the Granite Trust Company to the account of the town at this bank, although the Granite Trust Company collected the $15,000 from the town's account with the Second National Bank of Boston.
