REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Westford:
The Board organized for the year with Arthur M. Whitley, Chair- man, Arthur L. Healy, Secretary and Cyril A. Blaney as the third member.
Reports of the various committees and boards are herein printed. Leo R. Larkin was appointed Forest Warden, and the rest of the ap- pointments were the same as of the previous year.
A report of the Annual Audit is printed herein.
Owing to the war many curtailments had to be made in various ways, and no new equipment for the highways was purchased. ;
The resignation of Harold W. Hildreth as Town Accountant was accepted with regrets.
The W. P. A. School Lunch has been carried on during the school year and as the figures in the Town Accountant's report will show, has with the exception of the first three months nearly paid for the part the Town has contributed. The first three months the lunches were given without charge, due to the fact it was not voted otherwise until the annual Town Meeting. The price is now fifteen cents per lunch.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
The following is a report of the Highway Superintendent for year ending 1942.
The work of the department has been carried on during the year in about the manner of previous years. As in the past four years an estimate of the types and cost of the work by streets was made and approved by the State Department of Public Works on Chapter 81 and by both the State and County on Chapter 90 Maintenance. Bids on all materials to be used were asked for, awards made and approved by the Selectmen.
The allotment on Chapter 81 for year 1942 was $22,825. The State contributed $12,450 and the Town $10,375, making a total of $22,825. All of the money was not spent, on account of not being able to buy asphalt, tar and other materials. The sum of $3000.00 for Chapter 90 Maintenance to which the State and County contributed like amounts. making a total of $9000.00.
Respectfully submitted,
AUSTIN HEALY

REPORT OF THE STATE AUDITOR
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 town of Westford for the period from September 7, 1941, the date of the previous audit, to August 1, 1942, and submit the fol- lowing report thereon:
The recorded financial transactions of the several departments re- ceiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for col- lection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the books of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
The books and accounts kept by the town accountant were exam- ined 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 with the finance committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund. 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 on August 1, 1942.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the treas- ury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book addi- tions were verified and the cash balance on August 1, 1942, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
45
The payments made for maturing debt and interest were checked and compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of trust funds in custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the transfers to the town being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
The records of tax titles were examined and reconciled with the tax books and with the town accountant's ledger, being further verified by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The poll, property and motor vehicle excise taxes out- standing according to the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and checked to the warrants for their col- lection. 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.
The departmental accounts committed for collection were exam- ined and checked. The commitments were proved, the recorded re- ceipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax and depart- mental accounts were made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct;
The records of licenses issued by the selectmen, town clerk, and health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, as well as of all other departments collecting money or committing bills for collection,
46
were examined, the payments to the treasurer being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, and departmental accounts, to- gether with tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
