The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, as shown by the treasurer's and the account- ant's books; the abatements, as entered, were compared with the assessors' and other departmental records of abatements granted; the transfers to the tax title account were proved; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, and departmental accounts were further verified by mailing 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 records of deferred sewer assessments were exam-
134
ined. The transfers to the tax levies were verified, and the apportionments due in future years were listed and proved.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, and from miscellaneous licenses and recording fees, were verified and compared with the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game. The cash book additions were proved, and the cash balance on January 25, 1962 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of departmental cash collections by the board of selectmen and by the police, fire, health, school, library, and cemetery departments, as well as by all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to fur- nish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In checking the paid vouchers on file, it was noted that some departments have been retaining the original bills and invoices in their own files and transmitting copies to the town accountant for entry on the warrants for payment. It is rec- ommended that all original bills and invoices be transmitted to the town accountant as often as once each month for his ex- amination, as required by Section 56, Chapter 41, General Laws.
It is also recommended that all bills for reimbursement of expenses be submitted in sufficient detail to substantiate the correctness of the charge.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trust and retirement funds.
During the progress of the audit cooperation was received from the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my as- sistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts.

To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Armand O. Bellerive, Chairman
Southbridge, Massachusetts Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the treasurer of the town of Southbridge for the period from January 26, 1962 to March 17, 1962, made in accord- ance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws.

Very truly yours, ARTHUR H. MacKINNON Director of Accounts.
AHM:EM
Mr. Arthur H. Mackinnon 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 treasurer of the town of Southbridge for the period from January 26, 1962, the date of the previous exam- ination, to March 17, 1962, preparatory to the transfer of the books and accounts and the cash and securities to the newly appointed temporary treasurer, and report thereon as follows:
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed, and
142
the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the rec- ords of the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the warrants of the selectmen authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds and with the town accountant's books.
The cash balance on March 17, 1962 was proved by re- conciliaion of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and all transactions and balances being verified.
The records of payroll deductions for Federal and State taxes and for group insurance premiums were examined. The payments to the proper agencies were verified, and the bal- ances in the general treasury were reconciled with the ac- countant's ledger controls.
The surety bond of the newly appointed temporary treas- urer was examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the payroll deduction and tax title accounts, as well as schedules showing the transac- tions and condition of the trust and retirement funds.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was ex- tended by the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts.
