December 10, 1925.


To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Irving F. French, Chairman, Tewksbury, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the tax collectors of the town of Tewksbury for the period from April 16, 1923 to August 10, 1925, made in accordance with the Pro- visions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division.


Very truly yours,


THEODORE N. WADDELL,


TNW|AMH


Director of Accounts.


Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, 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 tax collectors of the town of Tewksbury for the period from April 16, 1923, the date of the previous audit, to August 10, 1925, and report thereon as follows :-


The accounts of M. G. Rogers for the Levies of 1916, 1917, 1918, and 1919 were examined, the abatements being checked with the as- sessors' records of abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer being checked to the treasurer's cash book, and the outstanding ac- counts being listed and reconciled.


There are a few small accounts outstanding on each of the levies from 1916 to 1919, and a determined effort should be made to collect these accounts, if collectible; if not collectible, they should be abated.


The accounts of H. J. Patten for the levies of 1920, 1921, and 1922 were examined and checked. The abatements were compared


56


with the assessors' record of abatements granted and the payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's record of receipts.


These levies have all been closed, with the exception of $7,317.00, the personal property tax of the Avery Chemical Company in 1920. In 1922 the town voted an appropriation of this amount to "relieve the treasury" for this loss. Some action, however, should be taken to clear the collector's books of this account.


The commitments to J. C. Marshall for the levies of 1923, 1924 and for the poll taxes of 1925 were examined and checked. The com- mitment books were footed and reconciled with the assessors' war- rants, the abatements were checked to the assessors' record of abate- ments granted, the recorded payments to the treasurer were verified with the treasurer's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled. The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received, I am satisfied that the accounts as listed are correct.


Appended to this report are tables showing summaries of the tax accounts examined.


While engaged in making the audit, I received the hearty co- operation of the several town officials, and I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express my appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDW. H. FENTON,


EHF AMH


Chief Examiner.
