The books and accounts of the treasurer were exam- ined and checked in detail. The cash book was verified and compared with the accountant's books, the .receipts were compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer and with the returns to the accountant, and the payments were compared with properly approved war- rants authorizing them. The cash on hand was verified and the bank balance was reconciled, a table, showing a recon- ciliation of the treasurer's cash, being appended to this re- port.


The books and accounts of the collector were exam- ined in detail. The commitments of taxes were proved and checked to the assessors' warrants. The collections were verified by checking the cash book entries with the amounts

credited on the commitment books. The receipts were compared with payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books. The abatements were checked to the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved to the account- ant's books.


A further verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and replies thereto indicate that the uncollected ac- counts as listed are correct.


The collector is also collector of water rates. The com- mitments are made quarterly by the water commissioners and are all fixed rates. The commitments were added, proved, and checked to the accountant's books. Collections were verified by checking the cash book entries with the amounts credited on the commitment books. The receipts were compared with payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books. The abatements were checked to the records of abatements granted by the water commis- sioners, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's books. As previously men- tioned, adjustments were necessary on both commitments and abatements, due to laxity on the part of the commis- sioners in reporting them to the accountant.


Attention is called to the increased amount of water rates outstanding as compared with former years, and to the fact that a number of these unpaid accounts extend over a period of one year. The water department depends upon the collection of these accounts for its maintenance and for the payment of its debt and interest charges, but on several occasions during the past year there were in- sufficient money collected to pay current bills. The col- lector cannot enforce the prompt collection of water rates,


86


as in the case of taxes, unless the water commissioners direct that the water be shut off in accordance with the rules of the water department.


The several trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and found to correspond with the amounts shown on the accountant's books. Schedules of the trust fund transactions were prepared and are appended to this report.


The receipts from licenses, fees, sales and rents were checked and verified by a comparison with the accountant's books, and receipts from all other sources were examined and proved.


It has been the custom of the library officials to re- tain money collected from fines, etc., although they have been advised to pay it over to the town treasurer; and pay- ments have been made from these collections for sundry petty accounts, which is clearly illegal. This matter was taken up with a majority of the library trustees and an arrangement made and agreed to that the librarian should turn over to the town treasurer at the close of the month of March all such money on hand and should, thereafter, pay over all collections monthly. The accountant will be authorized to establish a petty cash account of ten dollars, payable to the library, and hereafter all bills will be paid from the appropriation.


The surety bonds of the town officials were examined and found to be in proper form.


While engaged on the audit hearty co-operation was received from all town officials, and on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself I wish to express my appreciation of the courtesies received and the assistance rendered.

Report of Police Department.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :- I submit the following report of the Po- lice Department of the Town of West Bridgewater for the year ending Dec. 31, 1922.


There have been 146 complaints investigated ; 35 auto- mobile accidents, 5 liquor raids, 32 arrests, 46 summonses.


The arrests were as follows: 12 drunkenness, 3 dis- turbances, 2 assault, 1 runaway, 1 kidnapping, 3 neglect of family, 1 carrying concealed weapons, 1 cutting trees, 1 selling mortgaged property, 7 violating automobile laws. Recovered property valued at $760.00.


The Treasurer has received $238.00 Court fines.


Five insane persons were committed directly to the State Hospital at Taunton.


The unusually heavy traffic has cost the department $335.00.


Respectfully submitted,


HENRY O. DAVENPORT, Chief.


Report of Board of Health.


Thirty-two cases of diseases dangerous to the public health have been reported to the local Board of Health, as follows :


Chicken pox, six cases, recovered.


Diphtheria, eleven cases, recovered.


German Measles, one case, recovered.


Opthalmia Monatorum, one case, recovered.


Pneumonia, (lobar), one case, recovered.


Scarlet fever, five cases, recovered.


Tuberculosis, (pulmonary), three cases in Plymouth County Hospital.


Tuberculosis, (bowels), one case, died.


Sixteen families were placed in quarantine. Numerous cultures were taken for diphtheria, and milk sources inves- tigated. Five cases of scarlet fever were reported, all of which have happily recovered. The need of keeping a strict quarantine, even in the mild cases of diphtheria and scar- let fever, cannot be too strongly emphasized.

In April, 1922, Mrs. Hattie E. Cary, who had served faithfully and conscientiously for fourteen years as libra- rian, sent in her resignation to take effect the first of Oc- tober.


The trustees were fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Alice A. Godden, who is proving very efficient.


As the interest from the Mary P. Whitman fund be- came available this past year, the trustees have been able to add to the library a larger number than usual of stand- ard books. Some necessary repairs have also been made. The building has been painted, also the sign above the en- trance door, and new steps have been built.


In November the Mary L. Perkins bequest of one thou- sand dollars was received from the executor of her will.


It is the purpose of the trustees to use each year the interest from the different trust funds to purchase the best books of the day, and also to improve the building, so that the West Bridgewater Public Library will be a help and in- spiration to the reading public, and a credit and ornament to the community, as well as a fitting memorial to the gen- erous donors, and to the town, who have made this institu- tion possible.


EDITH F. HOWARD,


Secretary for the Trustees.


Librarian's Report.


The work of the year has been varied, the usual library work being supplemented by that with the schools to much greater extent than before. The Massachusetts Board of Education, working with the Library Committee, offered a certificate to any child reading five books for his grade dur- ing the year, certificate to be signed by the librarian. Reading lists were sent to those from third to eighth grade, and over 300 were taken by the children, books on various subjects being used. By this means a love for better read- ing will be encouraged.


Bequests left by Miss Whitman and Miss Perkins have made it possible for the trustees to supply 76 additional books. This work, added to the work already done in the schools in former years, increased the duties of the libra- rian, over 900 books being used for school work alone.
