Monthly Statements. These forms are used by the town accountant in notifying each department of the warrants drawn against its appropriation and the bal- ance subject to draft.
Revenue. Upon receipt of notice from the town clerk of appropriations voted by the town to be raised by tax- ation, a journal entry should be made debiting revenue and crediting the proper appropriation accounts. When the warrant for poll and property taxes is delivered to the collector, this account should be credited and taxes debited. Revenue should also be debited with the amount of the state taxes, county taxes, and overlay raised, and the respective accounts credited.
At the close of the year, a journal entry should be made debiting all unexpended appropriation accounts (the object for which the appropriation was made having been completed) and crediting revenue. The estimated re- ceipts account should also be closed out into the revenue account at the close of the year, and the revenue account closed into the excess and deficiency account.
Estimated Receipts. The amount of estimated receipts deducted by the assessors in determining the amount to be raised by taxation should be debited to the esti- mated receipts account and the revenue account credited ; as cash is received, estimated receipts should be credited and cash debited.
Taxes. (Poll and Property). Upon the delivery of the assessors warrant for the collection of taxes, a journal entry should be made debiting taxes with the total amount of the commitment and crediting revenue.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
As money is paid into the town treasury, cash should be debited and the tax account credited. When poll or property tax abatements are granted by the assesors, a journal entry should be made crediting taxes and debit- ing overlay.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State Aid. This ac- count represents the amount due from the Common- wealth for State Aid disbursed during the previous year. Upon receipt of money from the State, cash should be debited and State Aid credited. At the close of the year, a journal entry should be made debiting State Aid due from the Commonwealth and crediting the Departmental Revenue with the number of State Aid disbursed during the year.
Public Welfare Department Accounts Receivable. When bills are sent to the State, cities and towns, or individuals, for aid rendered persons not having settlement in the town, a journal entry should be made debiting the public welfare department accounts receivable and crediting departmental revenue with the amount of the charge; as cash is received, the accounts receivable account should be credited and cash debited.
The same procedure should be followed in the case of accounts receivable of all departments rendering bills for amounts due the town.
Overlay. Whenever poll or property tax abatements are granted by the assessors, a journal entry should be made debiting overlay and crediting taxes for the amount of the abatements. Any balance in the overlay account in excess of the amount of the warrant remaining to be collected or abated should, by journal entry, be trans- ferred to the overlay reserve fund.
Overlay Reserve Fund (Overlay Surplus). This account represents the surplus or difference between the overlay and the abatements granted by the assessors, and should be reserved for extraordinary or unforeseen expenses, as required by Section 25, Chapter 59, of the General Laws.
91
TOWN OF NORWELL
Revenue Loans. Whenever loans are issued in anticipa- tion of revenue, the cash account should be debited and the revenue loan account credited; when the loan is paid, a warrant should be drawn, revenue loan account debited, and cash credited.
Departmental Revenue (Not Available Until Collected). This account represents revenue of the several depart- ments on account of charges for services rendered or materials furnished. At the end of each month the amount of cash received on account of departmental charges should be credited by journal entry to the esti- mated receipts account and departmental revenue should be debited.
Net Bonded Debt. When debt is incurred by the issuc of bonds or notes (for other than temporary loans), a journal entry should be made debiting net bonded debt and crediting the specific loan account. When the bonds are paid, the specific loan account should be debited and net bonded debt credited.
Trust Funds. When money is received the income of which is to be used for some specific purpose, cash should be debited and the special fund account credited. A war- rant should be drawn authorizing the treasurer to deposit the amount in the savings bank, cash should be credited, and trust funds (cash and securities) debited.
As income is withdrawn from the bank, cash should be debited and the specific purpose for which the fund was created (such as library, cemetery, etc.), credited. At the end of the year, the income in excess of the with- drawals should be entered on the books by debiting trust funds (cash and securities), and crediting the spe- cific fund account.
For the co-operation received from the several town officials during the progress of the audit and the installa- tion of the system, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE.

Norwell Visiting Nurse Association, Inc.
Report for Year 1936
The Executive Board of the Visiting Nurse Associa- tion again asks your careful study of the reports of the Treasurer, and of the Nurse-including that given with the School reports.
As we are often asked why we solicit membership dues or donations in addition to the money appropriated by the Town, we offer here a word of explanation. In larger towns and cities the school nurse works only under the jurisdiction of the school authorities. Other public health agencies employ other nurses. Here one nurse fills both offices, as well as answering calls which come through the Board of Public Welfare. The Nursing Association there- fore pays a proportionate part of her salary, of the clinic expenses, telephone charges, transportation costs, etc. The small fees collected for household visits, and for the clinics do not of course cover the costs of these services. Also it is desirable when possible to hold in reserve a small fund which may be drawn on in case of public emergency. Therefore we ask every resident who can, ยท to pay at least a small membership fee-to assist the Rummage Sales held twice a year, the Summer Play, and such other projects as may be necessary to raise this money-above all-to use freely the services offered and to pay as much for these as they possibly can. Often the nurse can save the expense of a resident nurse, relieve the family of strain and contribute to the comfort of a patient-and if those in more fortunate circumstances avail themselves of this, it will materially help the finan- cial situation.
The Dental Clinic is not free and parents signing slips asking for this service are expected to pay the small fee

TOWN OF NORWELL
if possible. The Well Child Clinic, for children up to school age, is supported entirely by the Association and is a heavy burden of expense. It furnishes an opportun- ity to consult a leading child specialist for the nominal fee of fifty cents. Inability to pay even this amount need not prevent the child from having this care, and trans- portation is furnished if necessary.
A Health Survey offered by the states has been re- quested by the Board of Health. This will include all children up to school age and the Nursing Association will assist this worthwhile project in every possible way.
Pre-natal advice and maternity care may be had for a nominal fee. Were there sufficient interest shown, the Board would be glad to sponsor classes in First Aid, Home Nursing, or Mothers' Classes.
It has been necessary to purchase a new automobile this year as will be seen by the Treasurer's report.
Bags for contributions for the Rummage Sale to be held in April or May are now ready and may be secured through Miss Roe or any member of the Board.
All these services are recognized as necessary Public Health measures, and none of us want to see them cur- tailed-and all would like to see them extended. This makes obligatory a sense of personal responsibility for the support, inquiry and helpful suggestions of every resident of the town.
For the Executive Board,
JESSIE R. C. ATWATER,
President

Report of County Aid to Agriculture
(Plymouth County Extension Service) NORWELL 1936
In presenting the report of Extension Service activi- ties for the town of Norwell, I would like to first call your attention to the fact that the Plymouth County Exten- sion Service has been functioning for the betterment of Agriculture, Home Life, and the boys and girls of the County for twenty-two years. It is your organization and serves you only insofar as you ask for service.
REPORT OF AGRICULTURE
The County Extension Service endeavors to present useful and practical information to farmers of the County and encourage the application of the same. We aid in securing and presenting information on production, mar- keting and assist in co-operative enterprises.
During 1936 much time has been given to the Soil Conservation Program. The program is in line with our agricultural teachings and can be of assistance to county farmers. Two hundred and sixty-one men enrolled in the program.
We have assisted in every way possible various organi- zations that have requested our services. Among these are the Associations of County Dairymen, Poultrymen, Cranberry Growers, Production Credit, Goat Owners, Bee Keepers, Rural Re-settlement, various Fairs and Granges, Egg Auction.
Thirty-two hundred farmers in the County were sup- plied with timely information regarding agricultural problems, while 696 farm visits were made.

TOWN OF NORWELL
HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK
In Home Demonstration Work, the Extension Service assists homemakers with problems relating to the practi- cal management of the home, bringing up of children, and providing a good home environment ..
In addition to the service given individual homes, over seventy groups of women, with an enrollment of 1550, have met together this year for special study of home problems. 212 different women have given volunteer help in organizing and carrying out the program. The subjects chosen have been child development, home man- agement, food preservation and recreation. Groups have also met for chair seating, furniture renovation, and home grounds improvement.
CLUB WORK
In 4-H Club work, the Extension Service provides for the boys and girls of the County an opportunity for educational development through study and practice in home economics and agriculture, as well as an oppor- tunity for self-improvement. It emphasizes the home, and brings club members and parents together in a com- mon interest. It develops co-operation, leadership, self- confidence, ambition, sportsmanship, ability to think, responsibility and community spirit.
There were 99 4-H Clubs organized in 1936, with an enrollment of 1717 boys and girls. These clubs were under the supervision of 100 volunteer local leaders. All towns and cities in the county had some type of 4-H Club work this year.
In Norwell this last year there have been two groups of young mothers studying child development and one home management group. Women from Norwell also participated in the canning and home grounds improve- ment meetings held in nearby towns.
Farmers from Norwell have attended many meetings of a county-wide nature, and covering such subjects as dairy, poultry, cranberries and fruit growing. A list of

EIGHTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
