REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Lester J. Gates, Chairman
Scituate, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the period from January 1, 1961 to April 9, 1962, made in accord- ance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, ARTHUR H. MacKINNON Director of Accounts
117
TOWN OF SCITUATE ANNUAL REPORT
Mr. Arthur H. Mackinnon Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts
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, 1961, the date of the previous audit, to April 9, 1962, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collec- tion, were examined, checked, and compared with the books of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
An analysis was made of the town accountant's ledgers, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriations and loan authorizations, as listed from the town clerk's records of town meetings, as well as the transfers from the reserve fund authorized by the finance committee, were checked with the town accountant's ledger. A trial balance was drawn off, and, after the necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were made, a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on April 9, 1962.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared 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 checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on April 9, 1962, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books, representing the investment of the trust and invest- ment funds in the custody of the town treasurer, were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were checked in detail.
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 compared with the collector's records, the foreclosures were verified, and the reported redemptions and sales were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's and the town accountant's books. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, reconciled with the town accountant's ledger, and verified by comparison with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
118
TOWN OF SCITUATE ANNUAL REPORT
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The tax, excise, assessment, departmental, and water accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and verified. The cash book additions were proved and the reported payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the amounts transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the out- standing accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective accounts in the general ledger. The collector's cash balance on April 9, 1962, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, departmental, and water accounts were further verified 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.
It is recommended that the collector make a determined effort to effect a settlement of the delinquent taxes which date back to 1957.
The town clerk's accounts pertaining to dog and sporting licenses issued, as well as to the collection of miscellaneous fees, were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer and to the State were verified, and the cash balance on April 9, 1962, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of receipts of the board of selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the inspectors of building, wires, gas and plumbing, as well as of the police, health, and school departments, and of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's receipts.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, 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, together with schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express apprecia- tion.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts
P.S. For details see Report on file at the office of the Comptroller.

As this is the last report from the Office of the Town Collector, I again find it necessary to call to your attention the importance of the adequate staffing of the Collecting Department.
What is needed is full time, trained personnel and not piece meal assignments of untrained, but well meaning clerical assistance. It is physically impossible to cope with the increased work load and to keep abreast of the increased number of accounts without the additional trained help.
With the combining of the Town Collector's and Treasurer's Office, the Office of Town Collector ceases. It has been my privilege and intention during my twenty- seven years of administration to serve you and to uphold the trust you placed in me. This trust, I believe I have fulfilled. I wish to thank my Clerical Assistants
