The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined. The payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger ac- counts.
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise and departmental ac- counts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books. as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The assessors' records of street betterment assessments were ex- amined. The amounts added to the tax levy of 1961 were compared with the collector's records, and the apportionments due in future years were listed and reconciled with the respective accounts in the town accountant's ledger.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts on account of dog, sporting, and mis- cellaneous permits issued were checked, and the payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified. The cash balance on January 10, 1962 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The surety bonds on file for the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The available records of departmental cash collections by the board of selectmen and the sealer of weights and measures, as well as by the police, fire, health, school, library, and cemetery departments, and by all other departments in which money is collected for the town, were examined and checked. The recorded collections were com- pared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and the cash on hand in the several de- partments was proved by actual count.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, arc tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, and depart- mental accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and trans actions 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 appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts
