TOWN OF NORWELL
STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Norwell for the period from August 28, 1949 to December 4, 1950, 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, Assist- ant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. LANG 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 Norwell for the period from August 28, 1949, the date of the previous examination, to December 4, 1950, 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 collec- tion were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the reports and records of the town accountant.
The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were ex- amined, checked and compared with the records of the several departments of the town and with the town treasurer's accounts. The receipts, as re- corded, were compared with the town treasurer's record of receipts and were checked with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasurer's record of disbursements and with the treasury warrants.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the records of the finance committee. The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet showing the financial con- dition of the town on December 4, 1950, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The records of the treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the town accountant's books, with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants.
The cash balance on December 4, 1950 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by inspection of the savings bank book, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of debt and interest were verified by com- narison with the cancelled bonds and coupons on file and with the amounts falling due.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were listed, the income and the transfers to the town being verified.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and the recorded redemptions were checked

with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, reconciled with the town accountant's ledger, and verified with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The treasurer's records of employees' payroll deductions on account of federal taxes, the retirement system, and Blue Cross were examined and the payments to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, County Treasurer, and to the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., were verified.
The books and accounts of the collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and proved to the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the town accountant's books, the abate- ments as recorded were compared with the assessor's records of abatements granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town account- ant's ledger.
The commitments of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked. The charges were proved, the recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books. the abatements as recorded were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant abatements, and the outstanding accounts were listed.
Verification of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, departmental, and water 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.
