Report of State Audit
Department of Corporations and Taxation The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Accounts State House, Boston 33 January 12, 1950
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Walter Silveira, Chairman Fairhaven, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Fairhaven for the period from November 4, 1948 to October 1, 1949, and of the town treasurer's and town clerk's accounts from November 4, 1948 to November 30, 1949, made in accordance 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, FRANCIS X. LANG
Director of Accounts

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 Fairhaven for the period from November 4, 1948, the date of the previous examination, to October 1, 1949, and in addition, due to the resignation of the town treasurer and town clerk, the audit of these departments was brought up to November 30, 1949, preparatory to transfer of books and accounts and of cash and securities to the temporary officer, the following report being submitted thereon:
The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and recon- ciled with the books and records of the accounting officer.
The accounting officer's ledgers were analyzed, the recorded 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 pay- ments. The appropriations and transfers were checked with the amounts voted by the town meetings as shown by the records of the town clerk and with the finance com- mittee's records of transfers from the reserve fund, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on October 1, 1949.
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 de- partments collecting money for the town and with the 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 balances on October 1 and Novem-
45
ber 30, 1949 were verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the bank of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
It is recommended that all payments be made by check and that the checks be distributed by the treasurer or by a duly appointed assistant to the payees, or mailed to them by the treasurer whenever personal delivery is impracticable.
Attention is called to Section 55, Chapter 44, General Laws, which provides that a town shall not at any one time have on deposit in a bank or trust company an amount ex- ceeding sixty per cent of the capital and surplus of such bank or trust company, unless satisfactory security is given to it by such bank or trust company for such excess.
The reported payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The transfers to the town were verified, the income was proved, and the other reported transactions were found to be correct.
A statement of the transactions and condition of the Henry H. Rogers High School Fund was furnished by the City Bank Farmers Trust Company of New York, Trustees, and a schedule for this fund was prepared and is attached to this report.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined. The additions to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the reported redemptions and sales tax possessions were com- pared with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax title deeds as listed were reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
46
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The poll, personal property, and real estate taxes, motor vehicle and vessel excise, as well as departmental and water accounts outstanding according to the previous examination, were audited, and all subse- quent commitments were checked and proved. The pay- ments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the accounting officer's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax, excise, departmental, and water accounts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books and records as owing money to the town. One reply was received from a person who claimed that his water account was paid but not credited on the books of the collector. This claim was investigated with the result that the claim was substantiated by proof of payment and the account was credited with the amount paid. From the remaining replies received it appears that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of licenses and permits issued were examined and checked in detail, the recorded pay- ments to the treasurer being verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the accounting officer's books. The records of dog and sporting licenses were also examined, the payments to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being checked to the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental collections by the select- men, the sealer of weights and measures, and the building inspector, as well as the police, fire, health, sewer, and school departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were veri- fied, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.
47
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, summaries, of the tax, excise, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all the officials of the town, for which on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
