83 REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS AND TAXATION DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
February 3, 1944
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Edward A. DeWitt, Chairman Hamilton, Massachusetts
GENTLEMEN :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hamilton for the fiscal year 1943, made in accordance with the pro- visions 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, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts
TNW :MC
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 fiscal year 1943, and submit the following report thereon :
An examination was made of the recorded financial transactions of the various departments receiving or disbursing money for the town.
The town accountant's books were examined and compared with the rec- ords of the several departments. The payments as recorded in the ledger were verified by comparison with the warrants of the selectmen authorizing the disbursement of town funds, and the receipts were checked with the treasurer's records.
An analysis was made of the ledger and the appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's record of appropriations and transfers author-
84
ized by vote of the town. The transfers from the reserve fund were checked with the finance committee's records.
A trial balance was drawn off proving the ledger accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1943, was prepared and is herewith appended.
The assessors' computation of the 1943 tax rate was examined and checked and it was noted that two appropriations from available funds voted by the town at the annual meeting were not considered by the assessors in the de- termination of the tax rate.
In this connection attention is called to Section 23, Chapter 59, General Laws, which requires that the assessors raise all sums appropriated since the last preceding annual tax assessment, and which also provides that deductions on account of appropriations voted from available funds in the treasury may be made by the assessors only upon the written approval of the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation. All appropriations voted by the town, whether they are to be raised by taxation or transferred from available funds in the treasury should threfore be certified by the town clerk to the assessors, as re- quired by Section 15-A, Chapter 41, General Laws.
The books and accounts in the town treasurer's office were examined and checked in detail. The receipts as recorded were analyzed and checked with the records of departmental payments to the treasurer and with other sources from which the town received money, while the recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing disbursement of town funds and with the books of the town accountant.
The cash balance on January 15, 1944, was proved by reconciling bank balances with statements received from the banks of deposit.
The savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust funds in custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income and transfers to the town being verified.
The debt and interest payments were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due, the cancelled coupons and securities representing such payments being examined.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitment lists of poll, property, and motor vehicle excise taxes for the year 1943 were analyzed and the totals were proved with the assessors' warrants authorizing their collection. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination were also audited, the payments to the treasurer, abatements, and additions to the tax title account being verified, and the outstanding accounts being listed and proved.
The commitments of water and cemetery accounts were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer and the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
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 accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of receipts on account of dog and sporting li- censes issued were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified, and the cash on hand being counted and proved.
85
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments wherein money is collected for the town or in which charges originate were examined and checked in detail.
The surety bonds furnished by the several officials were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables show- ing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, water, and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and con- dition of the several trust funds.
During the progress of the audit, cooperation was received from all offi- cials, for which I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE
Assistant Director of Accounts.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
GREETINGS :
The Cemetery Commissioners hereby submit their report for the year end- ing December 31, 1943.
The usual maintenance work constituted our program the past year. The labor situation being so drastic at this time it has been imposible to attempt to make any improvements in the cemetery.
In order to carry on our schedule of constructing new lots from year to year we purchased eighty yards of loam thus keeping ahead of the constant demand for new lots.
