As Director of Veterans' Services, we submit herewith our Annual Report for the year 1951. The activities of this office were as varied as the colors in the spectrum, yet, like the old legend of the housewives' tasks, they are never done.


Calls totalling more than 1400 have been made and we feel that our Town can justly be proud of its efforts in behalt of all our Veterans.


Our deep appreciation is extended to our Board of Selectmen for their wonderful cooperation and to all who have assisted us we give our grateful thanks.

CIVIL DEFENSE


REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE


January 15, 1952


To the Board of Selectmen:


Subject: Annual Report.


In setting up a Civil Defense program for Scituate, stress has been placed on those items which will benefit the community not only in time of a national emergency but also in normal daily life.


The funds appropriated during 1951 were used to purchase radio equipment for the Central Fire Station, first aid truck, other units of the Fire Department, and the police ambulance. It is hoped that funds to continue the installation of this valuable equipment will be forthcoming in 1952.


A combined housing survey and civil defense registration is now in progress to facilitate the town's mission as a reception area (care of evacuees from a target area).


The cooperation of the town officials, particularly the Select- men and the Fire and Police Chiefs, is greatly appreciated.


Respectfully, CLAUDE H. BENNETT, JR., Director.

PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE REPORT


REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE (Plymouth County Extension Service)


County Aid to Agriculture is the official department for the Plymouth County Extension Service. This county organization has seven members on its professional staff and three clerical members, and carries on educational programs for Agriculture, Homemaking, and 4-H Club Work. It is a part of the University of Massachusetts and the United States Department of Agriculture. Assistance is available to all county people and is not limited to those engaged in agricultural pursuits.


The Agricultural Department conducts educational programs through the medium of meetings, demonstrations, farm visits, radio and newspaper publicity with dairymen, poultrymen, cranberry growers, vegetable growers, fruit growers, florists. Other programs and information are available for minority groups in general live- stock farming, forestry, home grounds improvement, and home food production. Marketing is becoming an important phase of Exten- sion Service work, with benefits both to the farmers and the con- sumers. The Agricultural Department programs are conducted on a countywide or regional basis, depending upon the extent of the industry and the need for attention.


The Home Economics Department conducts educational pro- grams for both rural and urban people in the fields of Home Man- agement. Family Economics, Home Furnishings and Surroundings, Food Preservation and Storage, Food Selection and Preparation, Clothing and Textiles. The organization of town committees and local leaders is responsible for much of the teaching work in this department. This type of adult education is providing needed assistance in many phases of family living that are unavailable in any other way.


The 4-H Club Department deals with youth between the ages of 10 and 21. The public is well aware of the achievements of 4-H club members. Project work for boys includes dairy, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, gardens, and handicraft. The project work for 4-H club girls offers clothing, canning, child care, foods, home furnish- ings, and crafts. Success of 4-H club work is almost solely depend- ent upon the work of town committees and local leaders for spon-


112


PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE REPORT


soring and leading 4-H clubs in their respective communities. Agents are able to provide guidance and materials for club use, as well as the organization and committees, and supervision and training of leaders.


Funds for County Aid to Agriculture are derived principally through the appropriation of the County Commissioners. Some Federal funds are also used and supervised through the University of Massachusetts. Most towns make token appropriations that are used in the general budget of the Extension Service. Town appro- priations permit the appointment of a Town Director who serves as an unpaid volunteer leader and is the contact man with the county office.


Respectfully submitted,


RUTH M. MEYERS, Town Director.

STATE AUDIT REPORT


REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT


March 28, 1951


To the Board of Selectmen,


Mr. Robert H. Tilden, 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, 1950, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, Gen- eral Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.


Very truly yours,


FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts.


FXL:GTG


Mr. Francis X. Lang,


Director of Accounts,


Department 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 Town of Scituate for the year ending December 31, 1950, and report thereon as follows:


The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the Town or committing bills for collection were examined and reconciled with the books and reports in the town accountant's office and with the records of the town treasurer.


The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being com-


114


STATE AUDIT REPORT


pared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's record of payments. The appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by compari- son with the records of the advisory committee. A trial balance was taken off, proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the Town on December 31, 1950.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the Town and with other 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 cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on January 22, 1951 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.


The payments made for maturing debt and interest were com- pared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securi- ties on file.


The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the with- drawals were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts.


The records of tax titles held by the Town were examined and reconciled with the tax books and with the accountant's ledger, while the redemptions were checked with the treasurer's cash book. The records of tax possessions were examined and the additions as a result of tax title foreclosures were proved. Tax title and tax possession transactions were further verified by com- parison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and moth assessments outstanding according to the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked with the . assessors' records of abatements granted, the amounts transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the


115


STATE AUDIT REPORT


collections were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


Verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained by mail- ing 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 receipts from licenses and permits issued by the


selectmen, the town clerk, and the health department were exam- ined and checked, and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game and to the town treasurer were verified.


The surety bonds of the departmental officials required to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures and of the police and school departments, as well as of all other departments collect- ing money for the Town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.


The accurate manner in which the work of the town treasurer, the town collector, and the town accountant has been performed is worthy of commendation.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the town collector'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 and investment funds.


During the progress of the audit, cooperation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
