The books and accounts of the tax collector were exam- ined and checked. The collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's books. and the abatements were checked to the assessors' record of abatements granted.
The commitments of taxes and assessments were proved with the warrants and the outstanding accounts were listed and verified by a comparison with the accountant's ledger.
A number of notices were mailed to persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received I am satisfied that the accounts as listed are correct.
The practice of making appropriations for sewers from sewer assessment revenue should be discontinued, as this is
146
the balancing account for outstanding sewer assessments and as shown by the balance sheet, payments have been made or account of sewers in excess of collections. In the future the accountant will set up a sewer reserve account, which will be made up of collections of sewer assessments and from which appropriations for sewers should be made.
The town clerk's records of licenses issued for the town the state, and the county were examined and verified, the reported payments being compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books and with receipts on file from the state and the county.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned the records of receipts from the rent of the town hall, fron the sealer of weights and measures, as well as from the police, fire, health, highway, poor, school, library and ceme. tery departments, were examined, and payments to the trea surer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's anc the accountant's books.
The surety bonds of the treasurer, the collector and the town clerk were examined and found to be in proper form
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconcilia tion of the treasurer's and the tax collector's cash, summar. ies of the tax, assessment and departmental accounts, to. gether with tables showing the condition of the sinking and trust funds.
For the courtesies extended and the assistance rendered during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and myself, to express appreciation,
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.
