Auditor's Report
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston 33
June 29, 1953
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Maurice W. Wiley, Chairman Eastham, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Eastham for the period from February 20, 1952 to April 4, 1953, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
HERMAN B. DINE, Director of Accounts
HBD :GBS
Mr. Herman B. Dine 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 Eastham for the period from
50
February 20, 1952, the date of the previous examination, to April 4, 1953, the following report being submitted thereon :
The financial transactions, as shown on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the records in the offices of the town trea- surer and the town accountant.
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's books and with the books and records of the several. departments in which charges originated or money was collected for the town. The recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants and with the disbursements as shown on the books of the town treasurer. The appropriations and transfers, as recorded on the accountant's books, were checked and verified by comparison with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by town meetings and with the finance committee's authorizations of transfers from the reserve fund.
The town accountant's ledgers were analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on April 4, 1953.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the records of the town accountant. The pay- ments were checked with the selectmen's warrants auth- orizing the disbursement of town funds and with the ac- countant's books. The cash balance on April 4, 1953 was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by
51
reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust funds in custody of the town trea- surer and the trustees were examined and listed, the in- come, disbursements, and transfers to the town being verified.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions of tax titles and sale of tax possessions were verified, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The records of payroll deductions on account of fed- eral taxes, the retirement system and Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined and checked. The payments to the Director of Internal Revenue, the county treasurer, and the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., were verified.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax and motor vehicle and trailer excise accounts outstanding according to the pre- vious examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and checked with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's and the accountant's books; the abatements, as entered, were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted; the taxes transferred to the tax title account were compared with the treasurer's and the ac- countant's records; and the outstanding accounts were
52
listed and reconciled with the respective accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The charges were proved and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer.
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, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses issued were checked and the payments to the State and to the town were verified.
The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The financial records of the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and of the school and library de- partments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the town accountant.
Appended to this report in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
For the cooperation extended by the town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts

After careful investigation, it was found that a blanket insurance policy would be most advantagous to the Town and could be had at a considerable saving. Therefore, this year all insurances on Town Properties were consolidated into a blanket policy. This policy was taken for a five year term and will expire on May 1, 1958.
Compensation and liability insurance necessary is car- ried on the basis of pay-roll totals.
