Following is a report on Parks:


At Suntaug Park the bleachers were painted, the baseball diamond was overhauled, new bases and pitchers box installed. Each week the baseball diamond was cared for in order to keep it in excellent playing condition for the weekly games held there. It will be necessary to do some work on the retaining wall at Suntaug this year as it is in need of repair.


Swings were purchased for Suntaug Park and will be installed this Spring in plenty of time for children to use them when the summer vacations begin. In order to install these swings, it was necessary to remove some large trees at the far end of the Park which presented a hazard to children playing in that area. This lumber has been milled and the Depart- ment, with the approval of the voters, hope to dispose of the lumber thereby creating an Equipment Fund for the Park and Cemetery Commission.


Freeman Park, situated on Main Street, was left in a very poor condition by the contractors working on 128 and it was necessary to clean up this area. Additional work is planned for this year.


In conclusion, let us say that although this new Department has only been in operation for a period of approximately one year, its progress has been steadily forward. Your commissioners hope that some time in the future, the Department will be self- supporting.


Respectfully submitted,


January 30, 1951

Report of 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 ac- counts of the town of Lynnfield for the period from June 12, 1948, the date of the previous audit, to March 14, 1950, the following report being submitted thereon:


An examination and verification was made of the recorded finan- cial transactions of the town as shown on the books of the depart- ments receiving or disbursing money or committing bills for collection.


The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the records of departmental payments to the treasurer, while the recorded dis- bursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the records of payments by the treasurer.


The appropriations, transfers, and loan authorizations, as listed from the town clerk's record of town meeting proceedings, were checked to the appropriation accounts and loan authorizations in the accountant's ledger.


An analysis was made of the ledger accounts, the necessary ad- justing entries resulting from the audit were made, a trial balance was drawnoff proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on March 14, 1950.


The entries in the classification book were examined and com- pared with the approved vouchers and payrolls on file.


It was noted that expenses for travel outside the Commonwealth were paid in some instances without specific appropriation there- for, in which connection attention is called to Clause 34, Section 5, Chapter 40, General Laws.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and com- pared with the records of payments to the treasurer by the several departments and with the other sources from which the town re- ceived money, while the recorded payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants and with the accountant's books.


The cash book was footed throughout for the period of the audit, and the cash balance on March 14, 1950 was verified by reconcil- iation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.


It is recommended that all checks drawn by the treasurer be either distributed by him to the payees or mailed to them by him whenever personal delivery is impracticable, since no person other than the treasurer or his duly appointed assistant has the legal authority to make payments in behalf of the town.


The payments on account of debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


The tax titles held by the town were listed from the records of the treasurer and all transactions pertaining thereto were verified with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The transactions of the trust and investment funds in the cus- tody of the town treasurer and the library trustees were verified, and the securities and saving bank books representing the invest- ment of these funds were examined and listed.


The assessors' records of abatements granted were reconciled with the collector's books and with the accountant's ledger. It is recommended that abatements granted be reported to the town accountant at least monthly.


The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The commitments of poll, personal property, real estate, and motor vehicle and trailer excise were proved to the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The receipts as posted on the commitment books were compared with the cash book record of collections, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's books.


Verification notices were mailed to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and in response thereto claims were received from several per - sons to the effect that their taxes were paid but not credited on the books of the tax collector. Each of these claims of payment was investigated and it was found that in all cases payment had been made as claimed but that the collector had failed to enter the receipts in the proper cash book or to post them to the commit- ment lists. The amount of money in question, however, was in- cluded in the cash presented for verification at the start of the audit on March 14, 1950.


The investigation of the above mentioned claims of payment, together with numerous errors in posting encountered in auditing the tax accounts, considerably increased the time involved in making the audit and consequently its cost.


The collector's cash books were footed, and the cash balance on March 14, 1950, including the petty cash advance, was verified by actual count of cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.


It was noted that while the town has accepted the provisions of Section 38A, Chapter 41, General Laws, that the collector of taxes shall, under the title of town collector, collect all accounts due the town, no commitments of bills due the town have been made by any department.


The records of dog, sporting, and town licenses issued by the town clerk were examined and checked, the payments to the State and to the town treasurer being verified.


The records of departmental cash collections by the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, the building inspector, the plumbing inspector, and the milk inspector, as well as by the police, public welfare, school, and library departments, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.


It is recommended that all departments collecting money in behalf of the town keep adequate and detailed records of all receipts and that payments to the treasurer be made at least as often as once each month.


It was again noted that receipts of the cemetery department for opening graves, foundations, etc., are retained by the employees who do the work, and it is again recommended that all such re- ceipts be paid into the town treasury as required by Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, and that the compensation of the em- ployees be paid on authority of selectmen's warrants and charged to an appropriation provided therefor.


The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the con- dition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.


While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
