Subtract this sum from your annual tax. The remainder is what you pay toward all other Town expenses. Compare the two results; or
(2) Multiply your assessed valuation by $6.67 per thou- sand. The result is your contribution to the support of schools. Divide this sum by 180 to get the average contribution per day for all your children. Divide by the number of children to get the cost to you of one child for one day of school. Divide by five to get the cost for each child for one hour.
Compare this with what you pay for a piano or violin lesson of a half-hour, or an evening at the movies.

Model Solution
MODEL SOLUTION
Suppose I have two children in the grades and one in the High School, and that I am taxed on $5,000.
(1)
82.76×2=$170.40 174.76×1=$174.76
$345.16
Cost of school one year for my children, $345.16.
My tax, $5,000×29.20=$146.00.
Hence the Town pays $199.16 more for my children than I pay in taxes.
(2) $5,000×.00667=$33.35 Portion of my tax used for schools. $33.35 -: 180 =. 19 Amount I pay per day. .19: 5 =. 04 Amount I pay for hour of instruction at school.
.04 -: 3 =. 01 1/3 Cost for each child.
Comparison :
For teaching at school 1 1/3c per hour.
For piano or violin 75c per half hour.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Scituate:
In submitting the annual report, for the year ending 1924, for your consideration, it is with great pleasure that we call your attention to the financial condition of our Town. In view of the fact that our tax levy was $25,396 greater than ever before, our tax rate was reduced, we paid off $25,000 more, borrowed $10,000 less than in 1923, and the excess and deficiency amount has increased some $13,000 and the condition is very gratifying to us and we feel it will be appreciated by you.
The repairs of Humarock Bridge, for which there was a special appropriation, were accomplished under the authority of the Selectmen of Scituate and Marshfield, as provided by law, the chairmen of the two towns acting as a committee which superintended the reconstruction. Several new string beams and girders were replaced, and the entire bridge was re-covered with four-inch yellow pine, all treated with creosote coating, new sidewalks were built and treated in like manner. The planking of the roadway was laid diagonally and the bridge is now in as good condition as ever before.
Petitions were received for a night officer at North Scituate and considering it and the several requests from the Minot property owners, we felt duty bound to put an officer at each place, for the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
We are also aware of the conditions along Front Street, caused by the parking of cars and some steps must be taken immediately for its relief and we have an article for your consideration, which calls for the taking of a small parcel of land for a parking place which seems to us the cheaper solution.
The auditor's report and reports of the several depart- ments will be found on the pages following.

State Auditor's Report
REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF SCITUATE
FROM JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 1924
Made in accordance with the Provisions of Section 35, Chapter 44, General Laws
February 4, 1925.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Ernest R. Seaverns, Chairman, Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the Town of Scituate for the period from January 1 to December 31, 1924, made in accordance with the provisions of Section 35, 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, who was placed in charge of the work.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell,
Director of Accounts,
Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston.
Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Scituate for the period from January 1 to December 31, 1924, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions of the Town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving money for
7
State Auditor's Report
the Town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked for the period covered by the audit.
The Treasurer's cash book was added and checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the Town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the Town treasury. The disbursements were compared with the Selectmen's warrants authorizing them.
The cash on hand January 15, 1925, was verified by an actual count and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement of the Rockland Trust Company.
During the process of the audit, the Treasurer died suddenly and therefore the cash balance was again verified as of January 22, 1925.
A Treasurer pro tem was appointed by the Selectmen on January 23, 1925.
Appended to this report are tables showing a recon -. ciliation of the Treasurer's cash.
The accounts of the Collector of Taxes were examined and checked in detail. The commitment books were footed and reconciled, the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the Treasurer as shown by the Treasur- er's books, and the abatements were checked to the records of the Assessors and found to be correct.
The outstanding tax accounts were listed and proved, being further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the Town. One claim, which is now being investigated, was received stating that the account in question had been paid. From the other replies received, however, I am satisfied that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The cash in the hands of the Collector was verified by an actual count.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconcilia- tion of the Collector's cash and summaries of the tax accounts.
The appropriation accounts kept by the Town Ac- countant were checked with the Town Clerk's records of appropriations as voted by the Town, and the recorded
8
State Auditor's Report
charges against them were checked with the original bills and records of payments by the Town Treasurer. The classification book was examined and checked with the accountant's ledger.
It was noted that it has been the custom to pay over to the Treasurer of the Library Trustees the amount of the appropriation voted by the Town for library purposes. In this connection I wish to call attention to Sections 35 and 52 of Chapter 41, General Laws. I would therefore recommend that the practice of having the library bills paid by the Treasurer of the Library be discontinued and that the bills be approved by the Selectmen and paid by the Town Treasurer, as required by the statutes above referred to
It has been the custom to make appropriations for ac- counts known as "General Government" and "Unclassi- fied." It is recommended, in the future, appropriations be made for each department of "General Government" and for the particular accounts under "Unclassified."
The Town Clerk's records of licenses issued for dogs and for hunting and fishing were examined, and payments to the State and the County Treasurer were verified.
The accounts of the Sealer of Weights and Measures were examined and checked, and the receipts were compared with the payments to the Treasurer.
The surety bonds given by the former Treasurer, the Treasurer pro tem, and the Collector for the faithful perform- ance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. There was no bond for the Town Clerk for 1924 as required by Section 13, Chapter 41, General Laws.
The savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust funds in the custody of the Selectmen and the Overseers of the Poor were examined and found to be as shown by the records of these departments. The disbursements were checked with the receipts on file. The Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor have now arranged to make all disbursements through the Treasurer.
Tables showing the condition of the several funds are appended to this report.
9
Treasurer's Accounts
The records of licenses and permits issued by the Selectmen and the Board of Health were examined, and the receipts were compared with the payments to the Treasurer as shown by the Treasurer's cash book.
In 1923 the State accounting system was installed and a Town Accountant appointed. The accounts of the Town Accountant have been kept in a careful and painstaking manner, and information regarding the financial condition of the Town is available at all times from her books.
For the cooperation received and the courtesies ex- tended by the several Town officials while engaged in the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Examiner. .
