REPORT OF THE STATE AUDITOR


Mr. Theodore N. Waddell


Director of Accounts


Department of Corporations and Taxation


State House, Boston.


Sir:


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Westford for the period from August 2, 1942, the date of the previous examination, to July 12, 1943. and submit the following report thereon:


The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by compari- son with the records in the offices of the town accountant and the treasurer.


The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked. The receipts as recorded on the ledger were checked with the records of the several departments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants issued by the selectmen and with the treasurer's cash book. The appropriations and transfers as recorded on the ledger were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and the authorizations of the finance com- mittee.


The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of July 12, 1943. The balance sheet indicates that the town is in very good financial condition.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the 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 selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash bal- ance on July 12, 1943, was proved by reconciliation of the banks bal- ances and by actual count of the cash in the office.


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


The savings bank books and securities representing trust fund investments in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed.


54


The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as entered in the treasurer's cash book.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the tax titles redeemed were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examina- tion and all subsequent committments were audited and reconciled with the assessors' warrants. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.


Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by sending 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.


The town clerk's records of sporting and dog licenses were ex- amined, the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.


The accounts of the public welfare, library, and cemetery de- partments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treasurer's and accountant's books.


The surety bonds of the various town officials required to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and collector's cash, together with summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.


For the cooperation 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 FIRE ENGINEERS


The Board of Fire Engineers submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1943:


The various companies responded to 30 alarms other than forest fires; namely, 10 buildings, 8 chimney fires, 4 autos, 1 tent, 3 silent alarms, 2 calls searching for lost people, 1 out of town and 1 false alarm.' 49 alarms for forest fires were answered making a total of 79 calls.


The following repairs were made to the various trucks: The rear steps on both the Graniteville and Forge Village trucks were in a dangerous condition. New rear steps were added to both trucks and other minor changes were made making more efficient pieces of appa- ratus and enabling us to carry our equipment to better advantage.


The Ford truck in Westford was remodeled for carrying the forestry equipment. Previously part of third equipment, including the portable pump and part of the forestry hose were left on the fire house floor and if needed, arrangements had to be made to transport it to the fire. A small booster pump and tank were installed thus equipping every truck with a pump and water tank. This brings the water carrying capacity of all the trucks to approximately 1500 gallons. We have found this to be very effective outside the water district. It is also a great advantage to have water available immediately within the water district.


·


We now feel that the trucks are all in A-1 condition and unless something unforeseen arises, the cost of maintenance should be greatly reduced.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND ROGERS HAROLD WRIGHT RICHARD HALL

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN


As usual my work has been removing dead trees from the roadside and removing broken limbs from others.


I would again suggest that some maple trees be set out on Depot Street.


The ice storms of last winter have left the trees in a bad condi- tion with loss of broken limbs which should be taken care of. I sug- gest the sum of $1200 be appropriated for taking care of them.


Respectfully submitted,


HARRY L. NESMITH,


Tree Warden.


REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN


There were no grass or brush fires of any size this year. 220 Fire Permits were issued.


Fire Permits must be obtained for Fires in the open throughout the year unless the ground is covered with snow.


The usual appropriation of $1000 is asked for the coming year.


Respectfully submitted,


LEO R. LARKIN, Forest Warden.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


The Westford Board of Health submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1943:


The Vaccination and Diphtheria Toxoid Clinics were held and well attended. Many parents took advantage of this opportunity to im- munize their children against these dread diseases.


The School Dental Clinic re-opened at the beginning of the school year, with Dr. Glenn D. Estabrook of Littleton, Mass., in charge. A routine oral examination of all school children was made and notices of defects were sent home to their parents. Dr. Estabrook spends five hours every Wednesday throughout the school year at the Clinic and any child who cannot attend a private dentist is gladly treated.


In December, 1942, a Tuberculosis Patch Test Program, financed by the Westford Seal Sale Committee, was conducted by the Board, in all the schools. Of the number tested, 58 showed positive re- actions and were given free chest X-ray in February of this year. Of the 58 X-rayed just one case of Childhood Tuberculosis was found.


In the spring of 1943, all the employees of the Abbot Worsted Company Mills in Forge Village and Graniteville, who so desired, were given a free chest X-ray. This program was also financed by the Westford Seal Sale Committee.


The milk situation was carefully supervised by the Board and its agents.


Inspection of Liquor Establishments have been made and, as in past years, conditions were found to be good.


In March, the Board received with regret the resignation of Mrs. C. Veronica Meagher, who had faithfully carried on the work of Public Health Nurse for 15 years. Miss Dorothy Healy, a graduate of the Framingham-Union Hospital Training School for Nurses, was ap- pointed to fill this vacancy.


The Board of Health has functioned well during the year receiv- ing the fullest cooperation of all its members. Regular monthly meet- ings were held and also several special meetings.
