REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF PLYMOUTH
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS AND TAXATION
DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
To the Board of Selectmen:
Mr. James A. White, Chairman Plymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Plymouth for the period from April 14, 1938, to October 10, 1942, 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. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL Director of Accounts
TNW:MC
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 Plymouth for the period from April 14, 1938, the date of the previous examination, to October 10, 1942, and submit the following report thereon:
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 ex- mined, checked, and reconciled with the town account- ant's records.
/
-83-
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The general and appropriation ledger accounts were analyzed and proved. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's cash book, while the payments, as entered, were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury war . rants.
The appropriations, transfers, and loans authorized, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings and with the records of the advisory committee.
The necessary adjusting and correcting entries result- ing from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the fi- nancial condition of the town on October 10, 1942.
It was noted that in 1941 a transfer of $2,910.04 was made by the town accountant from the public welfare appropriation to the account for aid to dependent child- ren, in which connection attention is called to the fart that no authority exists to transfer funds from one appro- priation to another except by town meeting vote.
The assessors' computations of the tax rates were ex- amined and checked to the ledger accounts and it was noted that in some instances appropriations by the town from available funds after the tax rates were fixed were not included in the aggregate amount to be raised in the following year. Attention is called, in this connection, to Section 23, Chapter 59, General Laws, the provisions of which should be complied with strictly when fixing the tax rate.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were an- alyzed and compared with the accountant's ledger, with departmental records, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the pay- ments were checked with the selectmen's warrants auth- orizing the disbursement of town funds.
The cash book footings were verified and the cash bal- ances on October 10, 1942, was proved by verification of
-84-
cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank bal- ances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The in- come was proved and all recorded transactions were veri- fied.
It is recommended that, in the future, all trust fund bequests be submitted to the town meeting for accept- ance; that all bequests be entered as a receipt on the treas- urer's cash book; and that treasury warrants be drawn to authorize the investment of these bequests. This pro- cedure will provide a permanent, official record of all trust fund bequests.
The records of tax titles held by the town were ex- amined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions and foreclosures were checked, and the tax titles on hand were listed, reconciled with the ac- countant's ledger account, and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds:
In examining bills and pay-rolls it was noted that pub- lic welfare and old age assistance pay-rolls have been igned by one person, and that the total cash has been given to him for distribution to the several payees. It is recommended that, in the future, such payments be made directly to each recipient by the treasurer.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination, and all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved to the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' records of abatements grant-
:
ed, and the outstanding accounts were listed and re- conciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mail- ing 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 work in the tax collector's office has been per- formed accurately and efficiently.
The records of licenses issued by the selectmen and the town clerk were examined and checked in detail, and the payments to the town, State, and County were verified.
The records of departmental and water accounts re- ceivable were examined and checked in detail. The re- corded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books, the abate- ments as recorded were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant abatements, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined, checked in detail, and recon- ciled with the treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
It was noted that expenses on account of bicycle regis- trations by the police department were paid out of the fees received, which is contrary to the provisions of Sec- tion 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, which states that such fees shall be paid into the town treasury and may not be used later by the department without a specific ap- propriation therefor.
The surety bonds of the several town officials required to file them 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, tax collector's, and water department cash,
-86-
summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables show- ing the transactions and condition of the trust, invest- ment, and retirement funds.
For the cooperation received from the several 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.

The usual work of cleaning streets was carried out. All catchbasins have been cleaned. Drain pipes have been cleaned out and broken pipes replaced.
ASPHALT SIDEWALKS

SPECIAL BUDGET
