DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
November 19, 1925.
To the Board of Selectmen:
Mr. Frank W. Dayton, Chairman, Wilmington, Massachusetts :
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the Town of Wilmington for the period from January 1, 1924 to June 24, 1925, made in accordance with the pro- visions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELLL, Director of Accounts.
51
REPORT OF CHIEF EXAMINER
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 Wilmington for the period from January 1, 1924, to June 24, 1925, and submit the following report thereon :
The financial transactions of the Town as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the Town were examined and reconciled with the records in the Town Accountant's office.
The books and accounts in the Town Accountant's office were examined and checked. The recorded receipts and payments were verified by a comparison with the Treas- urer's book. The ledger was analyzed and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared show- ing the financial condition of the Town June 24, 1925.
In checking the ledger accounts, it was found that the receipts estimated by the Assessors in fixing the tax rate for 1924 exceeded the actual receipts for the year by a considerable amount, which made necessary an appropri- ation to cover the deficit at the annual Town Meeting in 1925.
The surplus revenue account should show a credit bal- ance equal to the outstanding accounts receivable against which no revenue loans can be issued, in order that the Treasurer may be able to comply with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws, in the payment of revenue loans.
52
The books and accounts of the Treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the Town and with other sources from which money was paid into the Town Treasury; and the pay- ments were checked with the Selectmen's orders author- izing the Treasurer to disburse Town funds. The cash book was footed, the cash on hand June 24, 1925, was veri- fied, and the bank account was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank.
The accounts of the Tax Collector for the levies of 1923, 1924, and for the poll taxes of 1925 were examined and checked. The commitment books were footed and recon- ciled with the Assessors' Warrants, the recorded collections were checked and footed, and the payments to the Treasurer were verified by a comparison with the Treasurer's books.
The recorded abatements were checked to the Assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and reconciled.
Owing to the Collector's methods of making payments to the Treasurer before the collections are entered in his cash book or credited in the commitment book, it was found that the payments to the Treasurer, as shown by the Treasurer's receipts, exceeded the amounts in the Col- lector's cash and commitment books by $96.87, and that a deposit was made in the bank of $982.57 to the credit of ยท the Town, which had not been reported to the Treasurer nor entered in the Collector's cash or commitment books.
The Collector should enter the collections in his cash book before making payments to the Treasurer and should make payments of amounts shown by his cash book, re- porting separately to the Treasurer the total amount of taxes, for moth assessments, and for interest.
The securities representing the investments of the Trust Funds belonging to the Town and in the custody of the Trustees were examined and listed. The income and ex- penditures were verified and checked to the Trustees' rec-
53
ords, and the cash on hand in the Lecture Fund was veri- fied by the bank statement.
The records of the Town Clerk were examined, and the appropriations and other financial transactions as voted by the Town were examined and listed.
The licenses issued by the Town Clerk for dogs and for hunting and fishing were examined and checked, the payments to the County Treasurer for dog licenses and to the State Treasurer for hunting and fishing licenses being verified by receipts on file.
The accounts of the Sealer of Weights and Measures for fees collected were examined and checked, and the pay- ments to the Treasurer were verified by the Treasurer's books.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the accounts of the library for fines, etc., of the Selectmen for licenses issued, of the Cemetery Department for sales of lots and graves, and of the Building Inspector for permits issued, were examined, and payments to the Treasurer were veri- fied by the Treasurer's books.
The surety bonds of the Treasurer, the Tax Collector and the Town Clerk were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconcilia- tion of the Treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and as- sessment accounts, together with tables showing the con- dition of the several Trust Funds.
While engaged in the work of the audit, I received the hearty co-operation of the several Town officials, for which on behalf of my assistant and myself, I wish to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.

AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS
Report of Middlesex County Extension Service in the Town of Wilmington for the Year 1925.
An appropriation of $200.00 was made at the Annual Meeting in support of the Middlesex County Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics. The follow- ing is a report of the work done by this organization in Wilmington for the year 1925 :
The principal industries in this Town have been in Home Economics work and Boys' and Girls' Club work. Two millinery meetings were held, both of which were attended by twenty-one women. A course in clothing was given to nineteen women and consisted of a series of meetings conducted by the Home Demonstration Agent. A group of twenty-one girls and ten women have enrolled in a Food Selection project. This is to be carried on by means of a series of meetings, taking up the different problems relating to the subject.
In the 4-H club activities seventy boys and girls were enrolled in the clothing, food, lunch box, garden, canning and pig clubs. Accomplishments were shown at the achievement program held in conjunction with one of the spring moving picture performances and by exhibits at the Wilmington Grange Fair. Alice Hinxman was awarded the Two-Day Trip to the Massachusetts Agricultural Col-
64
lege. The Wilmington club members won a banner at the field day held at the Middlesex School, Concord, Mass.
Many of the fruit growers in the Town profited by re- ceiving the spray service postal cards which were sent out from time to time during the spray season. Judges were furnished for the Fair, judging agricultural as well as home economics exhibits.
In addition, several county-wide meetings, such as the County Picnic at Concord, the Annual Extension Service meeting at Waltham, meetings for fruit growers and poultrymen and Leaders' Training meetings for home- makers have been held during the year and were attended by many of the Wilmington people.
CHARLES F. PERRY, Local Director.
