To the Board of Selectmen Mr. John H. Perkins, Chairman Hamilton, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hamilton for the year ending December 31, 1937, 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.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF EXAMINER


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 Hamilton for the year ending December 31, 1937, 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, checked, and verified by a comparison with the books of the town accountant and the treasurer.


The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town.


The appropriations as entered in the ledger were checked with the town clerk's record of town meeting proceedings. The neces- sary ledger adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1937.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the select- men's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on December 31, 1937, was proved by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.


The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were


95


FINANCIAL REPORT


proved with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securi- ties on file.


The savings bank books representing the investment of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as shown in the treasurer's cash book.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous exami- nation were audited, and all subsequent commitments of taxes were reconciled with the assessors' warrants. The payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


Verification notices were mailed to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of tax titles taken for the town were checked with the deeds on file and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The town clerk's record of sporting and dog licenses were exam- ined, the payments to the State being verified with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.


The accounts of the public welfare department, bureau of old age assistance, the cemetery department, and all other depart- ments collecting money for the town or committing bills for col- lection were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treas- urer's and the accountant's books.


In checking the selectmen's licenses issued with their records of licenses granted, it was found that two junk licenses and a special liquor license had been issued although there appeared to


96


HAMILTON TOWN REPORT


be no record of these licenses having been granted. It is recom- mended that a complete record be kept of licenses granted so that the revenue from this source may be properly checked.


The surety bonds of the treasurer, tax collector, and town clerk for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the town treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.


For the co-operation extended by the various town officials dur- ing 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
