STATE AUDIT
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Jesse A. Holmes, Chairman Carver, Massachusetts
· Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Carver for the period from September 27, 1949 to December 9, 1950, 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:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Carver for the period from September 27, 1949, the date of the previous examination, to December 9, 1950, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified with the books of the town treasurer.
General ledger accounts were compiled for the period covered by the audit; the appropriations, loan authorizations, and transfers as recorded were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund; and a balance sheet,
-67-
showing the financial condition of the town on December 9, 1950, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were com- pared with the treasury warrants approved by the Board of Selectmen authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on December 9, 1950 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited and by actual count of the cash in the treasurer's office.
The savings bank books and securities representing the in- vestment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book.
The recorded payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the tax collector's records, and the tax titles on hand were listed and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The accounts outstanding according to the pre- vious examination and all subsequent commitment lists were audited and proved. The collections as posted on the com- mitment books were compared with the cash book collections and with the recorded payments to the town as shown by the treasurer's cash book. The Abatements of taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise as entered on the commitment books were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed.
-68-
The records of departmental accounts receivable were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by send- 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 records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, the town clerk, and the police department were checked, the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures and of the school, library, and cemetery departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were ex- amined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was re- ceived from 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.

CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
It is the policy of the School Committee to close schools only under the severest weather conditions or on such oc- casions when it is dangerous to operate school busses. At other times, parents are expected to use their own judgment in sending children to school. When a decision to close schools has been made, this information will be broadcast through the courtesy of radio stations WBZ and WNBH.
From the records of the School Committee:
Voted: That the report of the Superintendent of Schools and other officers of the school system be hereby adopted as the report of the School Committee for 1950.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
I herewith submit my report on the condition of the schools for the Town of Carver, a part of the School Superintendency Union No. 42.
We have been asked to limit the length of our reports to the strict essentials for this year, consequently I merely touch briefly on some of the more important items. The financial accounts for the year just closed appear on preceding pages and reports of other persons concerned with separate seg- ments of the school program are appended to this report. I call your attention to the total of the reimbursements which were received this year. While we face a period of steadily mounting school costs, as in all other branches of activity, we are also receiving the highest amount of state aid and income on account of schools which has ever been received and I estimate this level of aid to continue in the next year.
