Further verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, depart- mental, and water accounts receivable was obtained by sending 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 outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, the town clerk, the building inspector, and the health department were audited, and the payments to the town and to the State were verified.
The records of cash collections by the sealer of weights and measures and by the police, fire, school, library, cemetery, and all other departments in which money was collected for the town were audited. The payments to the treasurer were verified and the cash on hand in the several depart- ments was proved by actual count.
The records of deposits for sewer connections were examined and checked. The recorded deposits, the transfers to the town to cover the cost of work done, and the amounts refunded were verified and proved to the treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
The books and accounts of the municipal light department were audited. The consumers' accounts were examined and checked with the departmental controls. The controlling accounts were analyzed and checked with the departmental ledger accounts and with the town ac- count's ledger. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer and with the town accountant's ledger, and the outstand- ing gas, electric light, and sundry accounts receivable were listed and rec- onciled.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Verification notices were mailed to a number of persons whose ac- counts appeared on the books as outstanding on April 18, 1947, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The municipal light department ledger was examined, and a trial bal- ance proving the accounts to be in balance was taken off and checked with the town accountant's ledger.
The guarantee deposit account was checked with the records on file, and the cash balance on April 18, 1947 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by examination of the savings bank book representing the investment of the deposit account.
The books and accounts kept by the Wakefield Trust Company as trustee for the Donnell Public Welfare Fund and various library funds were examined and checked. The income was proved, all transactions were verified, and the payments of income to the town were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the town accountant's ledger.
The surety bonds furnished by the several officials required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, the tax collector's and the town. clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
For the co-operation received from all the town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
