The records of payroll deductions on account of Federal and State taxes, the county and teachers' retirement systems, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and group insurance were examined and checked. The payments to the proper agencies were verified and the balances as shown on the employees' records were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined. The additions to the tax title account were checked with the tax collector's records, and the tax title deeds were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger and with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts in the tax collector's office were ex- amined and checked. The taxes, excise, and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous audit, and all subsequent commitments, were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants. The collec- tions as posted to the commitment books were compared with the cash book entries, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified,

and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the con trolling accounts in the accountant's ledger.


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
