The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The taxes and water liens transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the redemptions of tax titles were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, departmental, and water accounts outstanding accord- ing to the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commit- ments, were audited and proved. The collections, as posted to the commitments, were compared with the cash book entries and with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's cash book. The abatements as entered were checked with the records in the departments authorized to grant such credits, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the town accountant's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses, permits, and registrations issued by the selectmen, the town clerk, the building inspector, and the police and health departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and recon- ciled with the town treasurer's receipts and with the accountant's records.

STATE AUDIT REPORT
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, and water accounts, as well as sched- ules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and invest- ment funds.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts.
