REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Arthur M. Whitley, Chairman Westford, Massachusetts
October 24, 1938.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Westford for the period from September 2, 1937, to Sep- tember 6, 1938, 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.
42
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 accounts of the town of Westford for the period from September 2, 1937, the date of the previous examination, to September 6, 1938, and submit the follow- ing report thereon.
The financial transactions of all departments receiving or disburs- ing town funds or committing bills for collection, as recorded on the department records, were examined and verified by a comparison with the town accountant's and the treasurer's records.
The records in the town accountant's office were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the records of the various departments collecting money for the town and with the treasurer's records, and the recorded disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's books. The appropriations, transfers, and loan authorizations, as shown on the ledger, were checked with the records of town meetings, as well as with the approvals of the town finance committee and the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation.
A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town as of September 6, 1938, was prepared and is appended to this report.
Attention is directed to the item on the balance sheet of old age assistance tax abatements, which must be raised by the assessors as required by Section 23, Chapter 59, General Laws.
The records of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the several departments in which money was collected for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the town accountant's records. The cash balance on September 6, 1938, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due during the period covered by the audit and were compared with the canceled securities and coupons on file.
43
The investments of the several trust funds, as represented by sav- ings bank books and securities in the custody of the treasurer, were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals checked with the receipts as recorded in the treasurer's cash book.
The records of tax titles held by the town were proved with the tax collector's records and were compared with the deeds on file and with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the previous ex- amination were audited, and all subsequent commitments were verified by a comparison with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were proved with the commitment books and with the town accountant's and the treasurer's records; the abatements, as recorded, were compared with the records of abatements granted by the assessors; the amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the treasurer's record of tax titles held by the town; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a large number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicat- ing that the accounts, as listed, are correct
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses were ex- amined and compared with the payments to the State per receipts on file, and with the treasurer's cash book. The cash balance on September 23, 1938, was verified by actual count of the cash in the town clerk's office.
The accounts of the public welfare department were examined and checked. The amounts disbursed for the account of the State and other cities and towns, as shown by the case records, were compared and reconciled with the commitments of bills as recorded on the town accountant's ledger. The collections were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's records, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled.
Some difficulty was encountered in obtaining the correct amounts of welfare charges billed for collection and the application of payments thereto. To correct this in the future, commitment sheets for the re- cording of all bills sent out for collection were installed and the out- standing bills as of September 6, 1938, were recorded thereon.
The records of the fire, health, infirmary, and cemetery depart- ments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the
44
town or committing bills for collection, were examined and compared with the treasurer's and the town accountant's books.
Payments to the treasurer by the several departmental officials of cash collected by them should be made at least once each month.
It is further recommended that action be taken towards obtaining settlement of the old accounts due the town on account of the fire, health, and infirmary departments.
The surety bonds for the several town officials required to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with schedules showing the transactions of the sev- eral trust funds.
For the co-operation extended by the various town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE
Assistant Director of Accounts.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The following is my report for the year ending December 31, 1938.
Chapter 81 and General Highway Maintenance
The Highway Department has carried on the usual working pro- gram, which includes the patching, graveling, and bituminous treatment of streets. Many new culverts were installed and also catch basins.
All roads newly built in 1936 and 1937 are standing up well due to the fact that they have a good foundation.
Considering the fact that practically every surrounding town has had part time schedules in their Highway Department, I am pleased to report that all the men employed on our Highway Department have had steady work.
The drainage condition which existed at Coolidge Hill, Forge Vil- lage Road for a number of years has been eliminated, 1000 ft. pipe line was constructed along the highway to the bottom of the hill, then an opened trench was dug which extends to Brook in the Willows. Several basins were connected to this pipe line to take care of a large volume of water that comes from the side hills.
Chapter 90 Maintenance
This appropriation which provides for the maintenance of all Chapter 90 Highways in the Town again proved itself a great value in the keeping of these routes in good condition.
Among the items covered by this allotment are patching, resurfac- ing, dragging shoulders, maintenance of guard rails, drainage systems and culverts being taken care of.
Groton Road Chapter 90
On Groton Road the Town had allotment for construction. The work
51
began at end of 1937 Chapter 90. Construction starting at station 30 and extending in a westerly direction about 2600 ft. into the junction of Tyngsborough Road.
The work consisted of scarifying and reshaping present 18 ft. gravel road. Then widening of 27 ft. with gravel surfacing the entire surface, treated with tar and covered with coarse sand.
Respectfully submitted,
J. AUSTIN HEALY
Superintendent of Streets.
