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 town of Tewksbury for the period from February 24, 1943 to February 17, 1945, 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, Assistant Director of Accounts.
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 February 24, 1943, the date of the previous examination. to February 17, 1945, and submit the following report thereon:
The records of the financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town or rendering bills for collection were examined and checked for the period covered by the audit.
The appropriation ledger accounts kept by the town auditor were analyzed and checked with the treasurer's records of disbursements. The appropriations as shown on the ledger were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings. General ledger accounts were compiled, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on February 17, 1945.
As indicated by the balance sheet, a balance of $169.22 is still due from a former collector, and it is again recommended that provision be made for this amount.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book was footed, the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the approved bills and pay-rolls on file.
The cash on hand February 17, 1945 was verified by actual count and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
It was noted that checks for salaries and wages due various town employees were being turned over to certain employees of the depart- ments for delivery to those entitled to the payments. It is recom- mended that all checks be distributed by the treasurer directly to the payees or mailed to them by him whenever personal delivery is impracticable, since no person other than the treasurer or his duly appointed assistant has the legal authority to make payments on behalf of the town.
