THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS AND TAXATION
DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
January 17, 1946
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 ending December 31, 1945, made in accord- ance 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,
THEODORE N. WADDELL,
Director of Accounts.
TNW :N
MR. THEODORE N. WADDELL 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 Hamilton for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1945, and report thereon as follows :
An examination and verification was made of the recorded financial transac- tions of the town as shown on the books of the departments receiving or disburs- ing money or committing bills for collection.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and compared with the records of all departments wherein money is collected for the town and with the treasurer's books.
An analysis of the ledger was made, the recorded appropriations and transfers being checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings and with the finance committee's record of transfers from the reserve fund. A trial balance, proving the accounts to be in balance, was drawn off, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1945, was prepared and is here- with appended.
The town treasurer's books were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments collecting money for the town as well as with the other sources from which the town re- ceived money. The payments as recorded, were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the expenditure of town money and with the town account- ant's books.
99
The cash book was footed throughout for the period of the audit, and the cash balance at the close of business on December 31, 1945 was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The debt and interest payments were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The transactions of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were verified and the savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were personally examined and listed.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, and the tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments outstanding according to the previous examination and all subsequent commitments of poll, property, motor vehicle excise taxes, and moth assessments were audited. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The commitments of departmental and water accounts were also examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer and the abatements being verified and the outstanding accounts being listed and proved.
Verification notices'were mailed to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The record of receipts from licenses issued by the selectmen was examined, the payments to the treasurer being verified.
The records of licenses issued by the town clerk, including dog and sporting licenses, were checked and the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified.
The surety bonds furnished by the town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, the milk inspector, and of the school, library, and cemetery departments were examined and checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the several trust funds.
For the co-operation received from the officials of the town during the prog- ress 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.

REPORT of the HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1945
REPORT of the SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The school committee is pleased to be able to report a very successful school year during 1945. The usual routine problems plus those brought on by the war situation were efficiently met and handled intelligently. The com- plete cooperation of all concerned in the operation of your school department has made this possible.
The committee is glad to report that in Mr. Elwin F. Towne you have a very able and progressive educator at the head of your schools. He has a sincere and profound interest in the education of your children, is enthusiastic in his administration of the schools, and has the complete cooperation and support of all who are under his direction.
An important addition was made to the school system during 1945 in that a junior primary grade or kindergarten was started at the Jonathan Lamson School. Its progress has been watched with interest by the committee and it is felt at this time that this new grade will be very beneficial to the children at- tending it.
In June the committee regretfully accepted the resignation of Mrs. Marion Batchelder, a valued and loved member of the school faculty for twenty-seven years. In behalf of all who know her as a teacher and friend, the committee thanks her for her many years of service to the town and wishes her many years of happiness in her retirement. Mrs. Batchelder was replaced by Miss Doris Woodbury.
Resignations were received from Miss Helen Chadwick, Mr. Donald Mac- Diarmid and Miss Lois Hicks of the high school faculty, who were replaced by Miss Mary Donovan, Mrs. F. Doris Bennett, and Miss Ruth Austen.
After many years as school physician Dr. John G. Corcoran submitted his resignation in September. The committee wishes to convey to him through this report, its apppreciation of his many years of interest in and loyal ser- vice to the school department and the school children of Hamilton.
Miss Florence Stobbart has returned to her duties as school nurse after a tour of duty as a nurse in the United States Army, replacing Miss Julia Burns who was a military substitute.
