REPORT OF AUDIT OF BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS
April 4, 1952
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. George S. Braman, Chairman
Acton, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Acton for the period from December 15, 1950 to November 24, 1951, 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,
FXL: EV
FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts
120
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 Acton for the period from December 15, 1950, the date of the previous examination, to November 24, 1951, and submit the follow- ing report thereon :
The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the departments receiving or disbursing money for the town were examined, checked, and verified.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the available departmental records and with the treas- uer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The ledger accounts were analyzed for the period covered by the audit, the appropriations as recorded on the ledgers were checked with the amounts voted by the town as shown on the town clerk's records of town meetings, the transfers from the reserve fund were compared with the amounts author- ized by the finance committee, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on November 24, 1951.
In connection with the overdrawn accounts as shown on the balance sheet, attention is called to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws.
It is also recommended that the income from trust funds be withdrawn from the funds before bills chargeable to such income are paid.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and verified by comparison with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury,
121
while the disbursements were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the payments.
The cash balance on November 24, 1951 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furn- ished by the banks of deposit.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and with the can- celled securities and coupons on file.
The treasurer's records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The addi- tions to the tax title account were compared with the town collector's books, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the trust funds in custody of the town treas- urer and the trustees of the Charlotte L. Goodnow Fund were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals verified.
The books and accounts of the town collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The taxes, excise, and depart- mental accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and proved. The payments to the town and district treas- urers were verified by comparison with the treasurers' cash books, the abatements as recorded were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstand- ing tax, excise, and departmental accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.
Verification notices were sent to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the district, and from the replies received thereto it would appear that the accounts, as now listed, are correct.
Considerable difficulty was again experienced in audit- ing the town collector's accounts due to errors in posting and addition, and the detailed checking necessary to prove the several tax levies added materially to the cost of the audit.
The provisions of Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws, which requires that collections of taxes and interest shall
122
be paid to the town treasurer once a week or oftener, is again called to the attention of the town collector.
A determined effort should be made by the town collector to secure the settlement of the overdue tax and motor vehicle and trailer excise accounts, some of which extend back as far as 1947.
The cash discrepancy on November 24, 1951, shown as necessary to balance the town collector's cash, was paid into the town treasury on January 29, 1952.
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses were examined and checked, the payments to the State be- ing verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the pavments to the town being checked to the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds of all town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of receipts from selectmen's licenses, of the sealer of weights and measures, of the police, fire and cemetery departments, and of all other departments collect- ing money for the town were examined, checked, and recon- ciled with the treasurer's and town accountant's books.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and town collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
For the cooperation received from all town officials while engaged in making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts

REPORT OF AUDIT OF BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS
February 3, 1953
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Lawrence Donnelly, Chairman Acton, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Acton for the period from November 25, 1951 to November 30, 1952, 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,
FRANCIS X. LANG
Director of Accounts
FXL:CH/TP/FC

Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston
Sir:
1
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Acton for the period from November 25, 1951, the date of the previous examination, to November 30, 1952, and report thereon as follows:
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 examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records in the offices of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, while the payments were checked with the treasury warrants and with the books of the treasurer.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriations 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 to the town accountant's ledger, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on November 30, 1952.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were com- pared with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the warrants of the selectmen authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on Novem- ber 30, 1952 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of cash in the office.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were proved
129
-
with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securi- ties and coupons on file.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand November 30, 1952 were listed and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of trust funds in the custody of the town treas- urer and the trustees of the Charlotte L. Goodnow Fund 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.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax, excise, and depart- mental accounts outstanding according to the previous audit and all subsequent commitments were audited and proved. The payments to the town and district treasurers were checked to the treasurers' cash books, the abatements as recorded were verified by comparison with the assessors' and other departmental records of abatements granted, and the out- standing tax, excise, and departmental accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.
Verification notices were sent to all persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the district. A large number of claims of payment were received in reply thereto, and all claims were carefully investigated or are in the process of investigation. The taxpayers' claims which were substantiated by presentation of proofs of pay- ment were charged to the collector, and from the remainder of the replies it would appear that the outstanding accounts, as now listed, are substantially correct.
A comparison of the collector's adjusted cash balance on November 30, 1952 with the cash in the office and in the bank showed a cash discrepancy amounting to $1,361.78. This amount which is due from the collector may subsequently be increased by additional proof of payment of items now carried on the collector's books as outstanding.
A great deal of difficulty was again experienced in audit- ing the town collector's accounts due to innumerable errors
130
in posting and addition, and the detailed checking necessary to prove the several tax levies greatly increased the cost of the audit.
The provisions of Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws, which requires that collections of taxes and interest shall be paid to the town treasurer once a week or oftener, is again called to the attention of the town collector.
It is again urged that the town collector procure a prompt and complete settlement of all delinquent tax and motor vehicle and trailer excise accounts, some of which date back to 1947.
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses were examined and checked, the payments to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the pay- ments to the town being checked to the treasurer's books.
The records of receipts of the board of selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the police, fire, health, and cemetery departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
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.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's, the town collector's, and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and trans- actions of the trust 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.
