Sewer trunk lines were extended during the year on North, Silver, and Suffield Streets with the balance of $50,000 in the Post War Rehabilitation Fund, and more was accomplished this year than previously in one year and with the employment of local people. We heartily recommend that this program of appropriating $50,000 each year for sewers be continued.


New construction of Leonard Street from Main 1300 feet east has been a big improvement of this thorough- fare and eliminated a dangerous hill and curve. How- ever, balance of the street is in poor condition.


Route 57-Springfield Street. Work has already started on the hill in relocating and reconstructing be- tween the Agawam Bridge and O'Brien's Corner. Your Board and many interested citizens attended a hearing at the State House before the Committee on Motor Vehi- cles and Highways on our bill for the acceptance of this street as a State Highway, but like 75 other similar bills throughout the Commonwealth, it was committed for re- cess commission study. However, even though this method to improve this highway failed, the contacts made enabled the Board to obtain certain commitments from the Commissioner of Public Works to a State contribution of $70,000 this year and next, with the Town and County participating on a Chapter 90 basis to the extent of $15,-


38


000 each the next two years. This will enable Springfield Street to be reconstructed from O'Brien's Corner to the Southwick line, an estimated $200,000 job, in two years at a cost to the Town of only $30,000.


Promise was also made that Main Street from River Road to the Connecticut State line would be made a four- lane macadam highway very soon.


The street lighting system was extended as far as funds would permit, especially on those side streets which had pedestrian travel after dark, and we feel it adds a measure of comfort to those women who must be out at night. This year saw the completion of the new lighting system and all-night lighting throughout the Town.


Once again the Board defended its policy successfully of keeping within the Bonded Debt Limit in opposing the construction at this time of an addition to the Benjamin Phelps School in Agawam Center.


The sidewalk between Reed and Federal Streets has been constructed and it eliminates danger to children on their way to and from the High School. We recommend the sidewalk program be continued this year, most espe- cially down Springfield Street Hill.


We recommend continued appropriation for the monthly collection of ashes and rubbish, as we feel this program is an essential Town service.


The Airport or Race Track property has been leased for two years at an annual rental of $5,000, and the lessee has already made substantial improvements which en- hance the value to the Town of this property.


A survey of the Connecticut and Westfield Rivers was made by competent engineers and a brief filed with the Federal authorities to cover any future damage that might result due to the raising of the level of these water- ways. .


We appreciate the co-operation extended us during the year by many of our citizens, and wish to express our thanks to them at this time.


While we have been glad to have citizens confer with us at our regular meeting on Friday night, it has come to the point that all of our time is occupied until nearly midnight and little or no chance is had to really supervise


39


Town affairs or consider grave problems to the fullest ex- tent. Thought is being given to having closed meetings during each month.

It is again my pleasure to report that for the third consecu- tive year it has not been necessary for me to borrow in anticipation of revenue. For this, I would like to publicly commend the Board of Assessors for their promptness in making the committment to the Town Collector and to that officer for the efficient manner in which the tax bills were passed on to the Taxpayers. Lastly, I would like to commend each individual taxpayer who is not only willing to appropriate for the various services necessary for the public wellbeing but is also ready to pay the cost and thereby save himself money by not having to pay extra to keep these services functioning.

State Auditor's Report


January 30, 1950


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Henry L. McGowan, Chairman Agawam, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Agawam for the period from July 28, 1948 to September 1, 1949, 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, FRANCIS X. LANG Director of Accounts


FXL:HAC Mr. Francis X. Lang 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 Aga- wam for the period from July 28, 1948, the date of the previous examination, to September 1, 1949, and submit the following report thereon :


The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified.


The recorded receipts for licenses and permits granted by the board of selectmen were checked with the record of licenses issued and the payments to the treas- urer were verified.


54


The surety bonds of the town clerk, town treasurer, town collector, water collector, and the clerks employed in these offices were examined and found to be in proper form.


The books and accounts of the town bookkeeper were examined and checked. The ledger accounts were anal- yzed, the recorded receipts and payments were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts and with the ap- proved treasury warrants, and the appropriation ledger accounts were checked with the appropriations, loan orders, and transfers voted by the town as listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings.


The ledger record of departmental accounts receiva- ble was checked with the records of the departments committing the bills for collection and with the town collector's books, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condi- tion of the town on September 1, 1949.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treas- ury. The payments were compared with the treasury warrants approved by the board of selectmen, and the cash balance on September 1, 1949 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks and by actual count of the cash in the office.


The payments on account of debt and interest were proved by comparison with the amounts of debt matured during the period covered by the audit and with the can- celled securities and coupons on file.


The securities, including savings bank books, repre- senting the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the payments to the town were verified.


The records of tax titles held by the town were ex- amined. The tax title register was analyzed and checked with the town collector's and town treasurer's accounts and with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the town collector were


55


examined and checked in detail. The tax, excise, and assessment accounts outstanding at the time of the pre- vious examination were audited and proved. The com- mitment lists of all taxes, excise, and departmental ac- counts receivable, including the water accounts, were added and proved with the warrants given by the board of assessors and with the records of the departments sending out bills for collection. The recorded collections and abatements were checked, and payments to the treas- urer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the bookkeeper's ledger.


The financial transactions of the town clerk were examined. The receipts for dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued, the pay- ments to the Division of Fisheries and Game and the town treasurer were verified, and the cash balance on Septem- ber 1, 1949 was proved by actual count.


The charges for the rental of town-owned property were listed and the payments to the treasurer were veri- fied.


The receipts of the police department for revolver permits were checked with the record of permits issued. the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand September 21, 1949 was proved by actual count.


The books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with the record of fees charged, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on September 1, 1949 was proved by actual count.


The recorded receipts of the town nurse were checked, the payments to the treasurer being verified.


The records of accounts receivable of the sewer, public welfare, and school departments were examined. The charges were listed, the recorded collections and abat- ments were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the bookkeeper's ledger.


The books and accounts of the water department were examined. The charges for the sale of water and for water services were added and compared with the book- keeper's record of commitments. The recorded collec- tions were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were checked, and the outstanding ac-

counts were listed and proved with the bookkeeper's ledger.


The water accounts outstanding on September 1, 1949 include a large number of overdue accounts, in which con- nection it is recommended that prompt action be taken to bring about a settlement of these accounts.


The outstanding tax, excise and departmental ac- counts were further verfied by mailing notices to a num- ber of persons whose names appeared on the books as ow- ing money to the town, the replies received thereto indi- cating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The recorded receipts of the librarians for fines were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on September 26, 1949 was proved by actual count.


The securities, including savings bank books, repre- senting the investment of the Charles Palmer Davis Li- brary Fund in the custody of the Springfield Safe Deposit and Trust Company were examined and listed, the income was proved, and the payments to the town were verified.


In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental ac- counts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust and investment funds.


For the cooperation received from all town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


HERMAN B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
