Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston


May 11, 1943


To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Leroy A. Shattuck, Chairman, Pepperell, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Pepperell for the period from June 5, 1940 to March 11, 1943, 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.


Mr. Theodore N. Waddell 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 Pepperell for the period from June 5, 1940, the date of the previous audit, to March 11, 1943, 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 examined and checked.


The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts being checked to the town meeting records of appropriations and transfers voted, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on March 11, 1943.


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 several 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 treasury. The recorded disbursements were compared with the warrants authorizing the treas- urer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's books.


The cash book footings were verified, the cash on hand on March 11, 1943, was proved by actual count, and the bank balances were reconciled with statements furnished by the bank of deposit.


108


The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.


The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ments of the trust funds in the custody of the town 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 to the tax title account being veri- fied and the tax titles as listed being checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes were compared with the warrants issued by the board of assessors, the recorded abate- ments granted, the recorded collections were checked with the pay- ments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's and the ac- countant's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the controlling accounts.


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 records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and town clerk were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.


In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the health, highway, public welfare, library, water and cemetery departments were exam- ined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.


During the audit cooperation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted.


HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
