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, 1952, 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.

Mr. Francis X. Lang 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, 1952, and sub- mit the following report thereon :
The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiv- ing or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked with the records of the town treasurer and the town accountant.
The town accountant's books were checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books, while the recorded pay- ments were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the warrants of the selectmen authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The appropriation accounts as recorded on the ledger were checked with the town meeting records of the town clerk, the transfers from the reserve fund were compared with the authorizations of the finance committee, and
144
all other accounts were checked with information in the departments in which the transactions originated.
The ledger was analyzed a trial balance was taken off proving the ac- counts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1952.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts as recorded were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments in which charges originated or in which money was collected for the town, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The recorded payments were com- pared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the town accountant's books.
The cash book footings were proved, and the cash balance on January 6, 1953 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconcil- iation of the bank balances with statements received from the depositories.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined, checked, and listed, the income was proved and the withdrawals were ver- ified.
The tax title records in the custody of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes and for the county retirement system were examined and checked, the payments to the Collector of Internal Revenue and to the county treasurer being veri- fied. The balances, as shown on the individual employees' cards, were listed and reconciled with the accountant's control accounts as of January 6, 1953.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, water and cemetery accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and checked to the assessors' and departmental warrants for their collection. The collections as recorded on the cash books were checked in detail to the commitment books, the payments to the town treasurer were verified, the recorded abate- ments were proved with the assessors' and departmental records of abate- ments granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the respective controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
Further verification of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, water and cemetery accounts was made by mailing no- tices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the out- standing accounts as listed, are correct.
145
The receipts of the town clerk for dog and sporting licenses were checked, the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified by the receipts on file.
The surety bonds of the treasurer, collector, deputy collector, and town clerk for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The receipts for licenses and permits granted by the board of select- men were examined and checked and the collections, as recorded, were com- pared with the treasurer's cash book.
The available records of departmental cash collections of the sealer of weights and measurers, of the health, school, library, park and cemetery departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the verified payments to the treasurer, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, depart- mental and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the several trust funds.
During the progress of the audit cooperation was extended by the sev- eral town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
