I submit herewith my report of an audit of the ac- counts of the town of Tewksbury for the period from Jan- uary 1, 1932 to October 21. 1933, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of thi- Division.


Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, 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 accounts of the town of Tewksbury for the period from January 1, 1932 to October 21, 1933, and submit the following report thereon :


The financial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the several departments were examined and checked in detail.


The inadequate methods used at present in keeping the accounts of the town are worthy of consideration on the part of the citizens. Under the present method of accounting, it is impossible for the selectmen to know the true financial condition of the town. The board of selectmen in a town is, in reality, the director of the municipal corporation, and should have at its service books and records which will fur- nish complete information as to the finances of the town. in order that it may be enabled to plan the work most es- sential to be done with the means at hand.


I do not believe in, nor do I recommend, a complicated set of books for towns, nevertheless, there should be kept in a single department certain general accounting records which show the assets and liabilities, the appropriations made. and the charges against them, as well as a detail of all re- ceiptsand payments. These accounts, if kept up to date at all times, will enable the taxpayer to see at a glance the source from which revenue is received and the purpose for which payments are made, as well as the financial condition of the town.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined, the recorded receipts being checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which the town received money. The payments were checked with bills, vouchers, and pay- rolls approved by the selectmen and authorizing the treas- urer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on October 21, 1933, was verified by a reconciliation of the balance with statements received from the banks of deposit.


51


The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


, The savings bank books, representing the investments of the several trust funds in custody of the town treasurer were examined, the income being proved and the disburse- ments verified.


The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination were audited and all subsequent commitments of taxes were verified by a comparison with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The collections as re- corded on the cash books were checked in detail to the com- mitment books, the footings of the cash books were verified, the payments to the treasurer for the several levies were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements grant- ed, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled.


Verification notices were mailed to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


It is recommended that immediate action be taken to secure settlement of all tax levies of prior years.


The tax title deeds held by the town were examined and listed.


The town clerk's records of dog licenses, issued for the county and of sporting licenses, the receipts of which are paid to the State, were examined and compared with the amounts due and paid to the respective treasurers of the town, county, and State.


The town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town were examined and listed. It is recommended that the salaries of elective officers be fixed annually by the town, in accordance with the provisions of Section 108, Chapter 41, General Laws.


The computation of the tax rates by the assessors was checked and it was noted that certain appropriations voted by the town on December 28, 1932, to be taken from avail- able funds were not considered in the determination of the


52


1933 tax rate. Furthermore, the sum of $2,500, voted by the town for the public welfare department on July 24, 1933, to be taken from certain public welfare reimbursements, was not raised by the assessors in the 1933 tax levy, although departmental receipts were used by the assessors as deduc- tions from the amounts to be raised by taxation in 1933.


In this connection attention as called to Section 23, Chap- ter 59, General Laws, as amended by Chapter 428, Acts of 1931, which requires that the assessors raise all sums appro- priated since the last preceding annual tax assessment, and which also provides that deductions on account of appropria- tions voted from available funds in the treasury may be made by the assessors only upon the approval of the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation. All appropriations voted by the town, whether they are to be raised by taxation or trans- ferred from available funds in the treasury, should therefore be certified by the town clerk to the assessors, as required by Section 15-A, Chapter 41, General Laws.


The above-mentioned appropriation of $2,500, should be provided for by the assessors in the levy of 1934.


General ledger accounts were compiled from information obtained by auditing the several departments, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on October 21, 1933, was prepared and is appended to this report.


There are also appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, together with sum- maries of the tax and the trust fund accounts.


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


For the courtesies extended by the various officials dur- ing the progress of the audit. I wish, on behalf of my as- sistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted, EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
