To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. David E. Hobson
Southbridge, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Southbridge for the year ending December 31, 1937, 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, THEODORE N. WADDELL,
Director of Accounts
163
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of South- bridge for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1937, and submit the following report thereon :
The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were ex- amined and reconciled with the books and records of the accountant's office.
The books and accounts in the town accountant's of- fice were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were verified by a comparison with the treas- urer's books and with the records in the several depart- ments making the original charges. The disbursements were checked with the warrants authorizing the treas- urer to disburse town funds and with the payments as shown by the treasurer's books. Approved vouchers and pay-rolls were examined and checked with the treasury warrants, and the recorded appropriations and transfers voted by the town were verified by a comparison with the town clerk's records of town meetings.
The general and appropriation ledgers were anal- yzed, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condi- tion of the town as of December 31, 1937, was prepared and is appended to this report.
It was noted that expenditures for Chapter 90 high- way projects exceeded the amounts available on Decem-
164
ber 31, 1937, by $5,216.67. Attention is called to the fact that expenditures for highway projects carried on by the town in conjunction with the State and county may not exceed the aggregate amount of the appropriations voted by the town, together with the amount actually received by the town on account of allotments. Whenever the re- imbursements from the State and county are not received in time to provide funds for payments of pay-rolls, etc., temporary loans, under the provisions of Section 6A, Chapter 44, General Laws, may be issued by the treas- urer.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the collector's records of payments to the treasurer, with the records in the sev- eral departments in which charges originated or in which money was collected for the town, and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treas- ury. The recorded disbursements were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's books.
The cash book was footed, the cash on hand on Jan- uary 15, 1938, was verified by actual count, and the bank balances were reconciled with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the can- celled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals verified.
The tax title deeds on hand were examined and listed, the amounts transferred from the several levies being verified and the titles as listed were checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
165
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes were compared with the warrants issued by the board of assessors, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the record- ed collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's and the account- ant's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed and verified.
Further verification of the outstanding taxes 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 financial records of the town clerk were exam- ined and checked in detail. The records of licenses grant- ed were compared with the records of licenses issued, and the receipts on account of licenses and permits were checked and proved. The recorded payments to the Divi- sion of Fisheries and Game and to the treasurer were verified.
The charges for the rental of the municipal building were checked and verified and the recorded receipts were proved with the payments to the treasurer. It was noted that while $522 was collected in 1936, only $75 was charged for town hall rentals during 1937, it appar- ently being due to a change in policy of granting the use of the hall.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the health, public welfare, school, library, and ceme- tery departments, were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
166
The work in the offices of the treasurer and the tax collector has been performed in an efficient manner.
For the co-operation received from the several town officials, while engaged in making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appre- ciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Citizens of Southbridge :
We herewith submit for your approval a brief re- port of the activities for the past year. At the outset, we wish to state that we were confronted with one of the hardest years that ever struck our municipality. First in the month of July, we had a flood that necessitated an additional appropriation for the Highway Department. A great many of our country roads were washed away and it was necessary for the board to declare a state of emergency.
We have requested from the state and county under Chapter 90 the completion of the Dresser Hill Road from the bridge at Sandersdale to the Charlton town line, and when this is completed, the approaches to the East of our town will be well taken care of.
When this board came into office last March, we were confronted with difficulties with the County Com- missioner relative to the construction of Mechanic Street, but we are pleased to inform you that we now have a contract signed with the Department of Public Works for a stretch of approximately 750 feet to be built of bitumi- nous concrete. This contract is to expire on June 24, 1939.
We are recommending the fund of Chapter 500, which is a refund of the gasoline tax, to be appropriated for the completion of Mechanic Street to be of the same construction as to the one we are to build as above stated.
