Mr. Theodore N. Waddell,

Sir :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made a audit of the accounts of the town of Southbridge for th year ending December 31, 1920, and submit the followin report :
T

The records of the financial transactions of the severa departments were examined, and a comparison was mad with the reports to the accountant and with the books i the accountant's and the treasurer's departments.
The books in the accountant's office were examined, an the amounts charged against the several appropriation were checked to the warrants and with the approved vouch ers and pay-rolls on file. The warrants were proved an checked with the payments made by the treasurer.
The receipts as shown by the accountant's books wer checked with the amounts reported by the treasurer an with the departmental reports of the accountant.
The classification book was examined and checked to th ledger accounts.
The appropriation accounts were compared with the towi clerk's records of appropriations and transfers voted b; the town, the ledger was footed, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet was prepared showing the financia condition of the town as of December 31, 1920.
The books and accounts of the treasurer were examiner and checked. The cash balance as shown by his books 01 January 10, 1921, was proved by a count of the cash 01 hand and a reconciliation of the bank balance. The balance was reconciled back to December 31, 1920.
The receipts as recorded by the treasurer were checked with the departmental reports and with the accountant';

books. The payments were proved by checking the amounts shown on the cash book with properly approved warrants.
The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled bonds, notes, and coupons on file.
The securities and savings bank books of the several funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and found to be as recorded.
The sewer assessments committed to the treasurer for collection were verified, the collections being checked to . he treasurer's cash book and to the accountant's book and the outstanding accounts being listed and proved to the ontrol account in the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were checked in detail. The collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's and the accountant's books. the abatements were checked with the assessor's record of abatements granted and the out- standing accounts were listed and reconciled with the con- rol accounts in the accountant's ledger. To prove the col- ector's accounts it was neccessary to check the collections is shown on the commitment book to the collector's cash books, and differences were adjusted on the collector's cash books and on the accountant's ledger.
A further verification of the outstanding accounts was nade by mailing notices to a number of persons whose tames appeared on the books as owing money to the town, nd from the replies received I am satisfied that the accounts re correct.
The General Laws repuire that collectors shall charge in- erest on all taxes paid after November first of the year in which committed; this requirement, including interest on oll taxes as well as on other taxes, should be strictly com- lied with by the ocllector.
The accounts of the cemetery department were examined

the receipts being checked with the payments to the treas urer and with the reports to the accountant.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned the records of the receipts of the selectmen, the town clerk the sealer of weights and measures, and also of the health poor, library, and school departments were examined anc checked with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconcilia tion of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assess · ment, and cemetery accounts; also tables relative to the sinking fund and the several trust funds, and a balance sheet.
As shown on the appended balance sheet there are out standing oiling assessments of 1916. As these accounts ar long overdue, I would recommend that some action be taker to enforce their collection.
The surety bonds furnished by the several officials fo the faithful performance of their duties were examined an( found to be in proper form.
The accounting system is being well carried out anc serves as an accurate check on the financial transactions o the several departments and also furnishes information rela tive to the revenue and surplus accounts.
For the uniform courtesy extended by the several de partment officials while I was engaged in making the audit I wish, on behalf of my assistants and myself, to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON Chief Examiner
