TOWN OF NORWELL
REPORT OF STATE AUDIT
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 Norwell for the period from January 1, 1936, the date of the pre- vious examination, to May 18, 1939, and report thereon as follows:
The records of the financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by a comparison with the records in the office of the town accountant.
The town accountant's ledgers were analyzed and the appropriations were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings. The necessary adjusting and correct- ing entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on May 18, 1939, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The ballance sheet shows a revenue deficit for 1938 amounting to $2,028.58, due chiefly to the fact that esti- mated receipts used by the assessors in the determination of the tax rate for 1938 were in excess of the actual receipts. Provision should be made by the town for the above deficit.
-77-
NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT
Overlay deficits amounting to $96.66 and a court judg- ment amounting to $4,148.24 should be provided for by the assessors in accordance with the provisions of Section 23, Chapter 59, General Laws.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were an- alyzed and compared with the town accountant's ledgers and with the records of the departments making pay- ments to the treasurer, while the payments by the trea- surer were checked with the selectmen's warrants author- izing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on May 18, 1939, was verified by a reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank in which town funds are deposited.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the various trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were personally examined, the income being proved and the transfers to the town being verified.
The records of tax titles held by the town were ex- amined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's books, the reported redemptions were checked, and the tax titles on hand were listed and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and acounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked. The taxes and assessments out- standing at the time of the previous examination were audited, and all subsequent commitments were added and reconciled with the assessors' warrants for their collection. The payments to the treasurer by the collector
-78-
TOWN OF NORWELL
were checked to the treasurer's books, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.
Due to errors in the clerical work of the tax collector, it was necessary to check all postings in detail, in which connection it is recommended that all collections be entered in the cash books promptly, showing the actual dates of receipt and giving sufficient information to en- able proper posting of collections from the cash books to the commitment books. Periodically the commitment book postings should be checked with the tax bill stubs.
The collector's cash balance of $2,692.09 on May 18, 1939, the date of the audit, was not presented by him for veri- fiication until May 20, 1939. The audit disclosed the fact that the cash balance mentioned above represented items of taxes collected several months prior to date of the audit.
In connection with the collection of taxes, and the pay- ment of amounts collected by the collector to the treas- urer, attention is called to the provisions of Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws, as amended, which reads in part as follows:
"Every Collector shall, once in each week or oftener, pay over to the treasurer all money re- ceived by him during the preceding week or lesser period on account of taxes and interest."
It is recommended that a determined effort be made by the collector to secure prompt settlement of the out- standing taxes and assessments of prior years.
The town clerk's record of dog licenses issued on be- half of the county and of sporting licenses, the proceeds of which are paid to the State, were checked with the
-79-
NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT .
records of licenses issued, being compared with pay- ments to the county and to the Division of Fisheries and Game. The audit of the town clerk's accounts as of May 18, 1939, showed that a total of $287.05 was due from him to the town and to the Division of Fisheries and Game on account of licenses. The above amount should be promptly paid over by the town clerk to the town treasurer and to the Commonwealth.
Payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game for dog licenses and sporting licenses issued should be made monthly, as required by Section 147, Chapter 140, General Laws, as amended, and by Section 5, Chapter 129A, General Laws, inserted by Chapter 329, Acts of 1933.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.
The records of receipts for town hall rentals and of fees charged by the sealer of weights and measures were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.
The commitments of departmental accounts receiv- able were examined and checked. The recorded col- lections were compared with the payments to the trea- surer, the disallowances were verified, and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax, assessment, and departmental accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town. the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.

TOWN OF NORWELL
The surety bonds filed by the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, the collector's, and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, and depart- mental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the various trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreci- ation.
Respectfully submitted,

NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT
NORWELL VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED
The year 1940 is the 20th anniversary of the Norwell Visiting Nurse Association. This twenty year's of uninter- rupted service which started with bedside and school nursing only has seen the addition of the Dental, Well- Child, and Pre-school Clinics.
Miss Catherine Roe has served as the visiting nurse for the last fifteen years. One need only to talk with her patients to know of the excellence of that service. Miss Roe has always been on the alert to secure every avail- able State health service for the town. Tuberculin tests are given every other year to high school students and the Diptheria Prevention Clinic is held every two years.
The Dental and Well-Child Clinics have been conducted for seventeen years with Dr. Willis B. Parsons as dentist for the past thirteen years, and Dr. Edmund Fitzgerald as pediatrician for thirteen years. The care and thought given to their patients by these two doctors makes them highly esteemed by the students and the parents. These clinics offer excellent opportunities to the parents for a health check-up of their children.
The parents, teachers and students appreciate and recog- nize the value of the frequent examinations given by the school physician, Dr. Raymond G. Vinal.
It was only through the cooperation of the townspeople with the Nursing Association that the services mentioned were able to be rendered, and we hope you will continue that cooperation by becoming members of the association, supporting the rummage sales, tuberculosis seal sale, and

entertainments given to raise money necessary to carry on the work. In the neighborhood of seven hundred dollars must be raised each year in addition to the town appropriation for general expenses of the Association, and in the years when it is necessary to purchase a new automobile, much more is needed. A new car was pur- chased in 1939 and consequently our treasury has been considerably reduced. At this time I wish to thank all those who worked so hard to meet our 1939 budget.
Miss Fredricka Beinert, nutritionist from the State Department of Health is again giving free service to the Town of Norwell. Anyone desiring this service, may call Miss Roe.

NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
Twenty-five years of Agricultural leadership has been provided the town of Plymouth County through the Extension Service, officially recognized as County Aid to Agriculture. During this period of time, great agricul- tural achievements have been made through the initia- tive and leadership of agricultural associations, farmers' cooperatives, homemakers' groups, 4-H clubs and their many allied contributing sources ..
This service available to all coordinates the efforts of the U.S.D.A., the Massachusetts State College, and local groups in the interest of rural people.
Educational programs are largely determined by county committees, assuring the practicability of meetings, speakers, and subjects of interest to commodity, home- makers' and 4-H Club groups.
During 1939 the Extension Service agents directed personally in Plymouth County 813 meetings with an attendance of 21,485 people; made personal contact with 12,237 people on individual problems; and reached 87,000 people through circular letters.
Information and assistance has been available to every- one in the subjects pertaining to Agriculture, Home Economics and the 4-H Club. These include for farmers the subjects of: dairy, poultry, fruits, vegetables, cranber- ries, forestry, general livestock, farm accounts, and man ;-

others. For Homemakers in 1939 emphasis has been placed on Money Management, Nutrition, Child Devel- opment, Home Furnishing and Recreation. Additional work has been done in Clothing, Food Preservation, Home Grounds Improvement. For 4-H activities, clubs in Poul- try, Dairy, Garden, Conservation, Handicraft, Food, Can- ning, Clothing, Home Furnishing and others have been used by 1939 enrolled members in the county.
The people of Norwell have been afforded this service in the best manner possible to meet the demands and interest of groups and individuals. The support of each town financially and morally is greatly appreciated by the Extension Service, and by the people who know its value as an influence in adult education.
