In addition to the foregoing we assessed in December real estate to the value of $1500 and personal estate to the value of $1900 overlooked in the regular assessment.
We have shifted over this year to a card catalog form of listing of all real estate which will expedite our assessing in the future but delayed our other work this year. This is an addition to the file started a few years ago which gives us the source from which each piece of property was ob- tained.
The board continues to meet every Tuesday evening at which it will be glad to consider the problems of any tax- payer. In addition the clerk of the Board of Selectmen is on duty daily and can furnish proper forms upon request for application for abatements, exemptions, etc.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sin- cere thanks to the former Treasurer Mr. Addison Wood- ward for his every kindness and assistance in helping me assume the duties of this office. His vast experience of 30 years as your town treasurer proved to be of invaluable help to me.
ยท To the other department heads, with whom I have come in contact in my capacity as treasurer, I also extend my deepest thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP R. McCLAIN
Treasurer.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston
May 6, 1946.
Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Charles F. Maynard, Chairman, Pepperell, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws, and audit of the books and accounts of the treasurer and collector of the town of Pepperell for the period from May 20, 1945, the date of the previous examination, to March 4, 1946 has been made, the fol- lowing report being submitted thereon:
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book was footed and the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of the several depart- ments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds.
The cash balance on March 4, 1946 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of de- posit and by examination of savings bank books.
The savings bank books "and securities representing the invest- ments of the trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were ex- amined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked. The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the pre- vious examination and all subsequent commitment lists were audited and reconciled with the warrants of the assessors. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding accounts were 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.
115
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials dur- ing the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Acting Director of Accounts.
