Mr. Herman B. Dine 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 Lynnfield for the period from February 1, 1952, the date of the previous audit, to October 10, 1953, and submit the following report thereon:


The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing town funds or sending out bills for collection were examined and checked with the records of the town treasurer and the town accountant.


The town accountant's general and appropriation ledger ac- counts were analyzed and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants. 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, andall other accounts were checked with information in the de- partments in which the transactions originated.


A trial balance was taken off, and, after the necessary ad- justing entries were made, a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on October 10, 1953.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book additions were verified and the re- corded receipts were compared with the accountant's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury, while the recorded payments were checked with the selectman's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the town accountant's recordso


The cash balance on October 10, 1953 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the of- fice.


The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The outstanding coupons were listed and reconciled with the balance in the depository reserved for their payment.


The savings bank books and securities representing the in- vestment of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the library trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the town accountant.


The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and the accountant's books, the reported redemptions and sales 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 for Federal taxes, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and the retirement system were examined and checked, and the payments to the proper agencies were veri- fied, while the balances in the general treasury on October 10, 1953 were proved.


The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists of town and district taxes and motor vehicle and trailer ex-


cise, were audited and checked to the assessor's warrants com- mitting them for collection. The collections as recorded on the cash books were checked in detail to the commitment books, the payments to the town and district treasurers were verified, the abatements were checked to the assessor's record of abatements granted, the town and district taxes transferred to the tax title account were verified, the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the ac- countant's ledger, and the cash balance on October 10, 1953 was proved.


It was again noted that the various departments in which bills originate for amounts due the town are not committing such bills to the town collector for collection although the town voted at the annual town meeting held March 21, 1949 to adopt the pro- visions of Section 38A, Chapter 41, General Laws, which pro- vides for such action.


It is also recommended that the collector make payment of his collections to the treasurer at least weekly, as required by Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws.


It is again recommended that prompt action be taken to ob- tain a complete settlement of the delinquent tax and motor vehi- cle and trailer excise accounts which date back to 1949.


Further verification of the outstanding town and district taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and districts, the replies re- ceived thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are cor- recto


The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts for dog and sporting licenses and gasoline permits were checked. The payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash balance on October 10, 1953 was proved by actual count.


The surety bonds on file for the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


The receipts for licenses granted by the selectmen were ex- amined and checked and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the town treasurer.


The recorded receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the building, wire, plumbing, and milk inspectors, and of the police, fire, school and cemetery departments were examined, checked, and compared with the payments to the town treasurer.


Therecords of accounts receivable of the public welfare and veterans® services departments and of the bureau of old age as- sistance were analyzed, the payments to the treasurer being veri- fied and the outstanding accounts being listed and proved.


In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and reconciled with the books of the treasurer and the town accountant.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the town and district tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trust fundso


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


Respectfully submitted, William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts
