In co-operation with State Division of Fisheries, Department of Conservation, a small amount was ex- pended in preparing our shell fish areas, so that in the spring an advance may be made to develop one of our most valuable assets which we are confident will yield a substantial revenue and furnish employment for many citizens.
With a larger percent of real estate taxes paid up to December 31, 1936, as compared with the year end- ing December 31, 1935, inclusive, indicates a better trend. Our financial condition as shown in the Treas- urer's Report is most encouraging. We cannot refrain from repeating our firm conviction that economy in Town matters means the elimination of waste and the frugal expenditures of taxpayers' money for community service. Economy increases the value of your tax dollar, either by reducing costs without reducing service

or by increasing service without increasing cost. The increased costs of our Town Government from year to year are not necessarily a proof of waste or extrava- gance. Many people put too much emphasis on the cost of Town Government and so little on its benefits; however, we shall continue to strive for and stress the need of maximum results at the minimum costs.
Respectfully submitted, W. IRVING LINCOLN, Chairman, HARRY F. CLEVERLY, JAMES W. TURNER, Board of Selectmen.

REPORT OF STATE AUDIT
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston
February 20, 1936
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. W. Irving Lincoln, Chairman Scituate, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the year ending December 31, 1935, made in accordance with the pro- visions 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:EC
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 year end- ing December 31, 1935, and report thereon as follows: ----
18
Report of State Audit
The records of the financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by a comparison with the reports and the records in the office of the town accountant.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropria- tions and transfers being checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the records of the advisory board. A balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1935, was pre- pared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book additions were verified, and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the town accountant's ledger and with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer. The payments by the treasurer were com- pared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were verified by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The records of tax titles held by the town were exam- ined and checked with the deeds on file. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The treasurer's cash balance on January 20, 1936, was proved by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
19
Report of State Audit
The savings bank books representing the investment of the various trust funds in the custody of the select- men were examined and listed, the income being proved and the transfers to the town verified.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination were audited, and all subsequent commitments of taxes, water rates and charges, and departmental accounts were added and reconciled with the records in the departments com- mitting the accounts for collection. The payments to the treasurer by the collector were checked to the treas- urer's and the town accountant's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted and with the records of other departments authorized to grant abatements, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by- sending 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 records of licenses and permits issued by the town clerk and other departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the avail- able records of all other departments receiving money for the town were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
20
Report of State Audit
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.
For the co-operation received from the several town officials while engaged in making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appre- ciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
