STATE AUDIT

An examination and verification was made of the recorded financial transactions of the town as shown on the books of the departments receiving or disbursing money or committing bills for collection.

The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The cash receipts, as recorded, were checked with the departmental records and with the treasurer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants and the treasurer's records.

The ledgers were analyzed, and the appropriation accounts were checked with the amounts voted by the town as shown on the town clerk's record of town meetings, while other accounts were checked with the records of the various departments in which the transactions originated.

The failure of the town accountant to operate the ledger and supporting records in the manner prescribed by the uniform sys- tem of accounting which was installed as of May 24, 1949, ma- terially increased the work of the audit and consequently its cost. It was found that detailed accounts with the various tax, departmental, and water accounts were not kept in the general ledger, but rather in a number of subsidiary records. Journal entries to record such transactions as commitments, abatements, and tax title takings, as well as to correct numerous errors made in reporting receipts, etc., were not made in detail but rather in compound form covering long periods of time. Consequently these compound entries lacked clear explanation, and it was nec- rssary to refer to the source and reconstruct these entries in clear form."

The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The cash book was added through- out, the receipts being analyzed and compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, with other sources from which the town received money, and with the town accountant's books. The recorded payments were checked with the approved warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.

The cash balance on March 31, 1951 was verified by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town money is deposited and by actual count of the cash in the office.

The payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.

The savings bank books representing the investment of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were verified.

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, the foreclosures and disclaimers were verified, and the tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.

Considerable difficulty was again encountered in auditing the tax title accounts due to errors in the certified lists and also to the practice of the tax collector of accepting payments of taxes which have become a part of the tax title account.

It is again urged that prompt action be taken to foreclose rights of redemption on all tax titles which are ripe for foreclosure, as required by law.

The assessors' warrants for the commitment of taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise were examined and checked with the detailed lists. The assessors' records of abatements granted were reconciled with the collector's books and with the account- ant's ledger.

The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The commitments of poll, personal property, real estate, and motor vehicle and trailer excise were proved to the assossors' warrants issued for their collection. The receipts as posted on the commitment books were compared with the cash book record of collections, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's books.

The time consumed in making the audit, and consequently its cost, was greatly increased by the necessity of locating and cor- recting the numerous errors in posting cash collections, abate- ments, and tax title transfers.

It is again urged that immediate settlement bo obtained of all delinquent taxes.

The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts on account of dog and sporting licenses, as well as from marriage intentions, recording fees, and miscellaneous charges, were examined. The payments to the State and the town were checked with the receipts on file and with the treasurer's books, and the cash balance on March 31, 1951 was verified by actual count of the cash in the office.

The books and accounts of the water department were ex- amined and checked in detail. The commitments of charges were analyzed, the recorded payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, the outstanding accounts and advance payments were listed, and the cash balance on March 31, 1951 was verified.

Verification of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and water accounts was made by mailing notices to a num- ber of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the ac- counts, as listed, are correct.

The records of the sealer of weights and measures were ex- amined, the field books being checked to the office records and the payments to the treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.

It was noted that the sealer of weights and measures does not make monthly payments of his receipts to the treasurer as required by Section 34, Chapter 98, General Laws.

The records of departmental cash collections by the selectmen, the inspector of buildings, and by the police, fire, public welfare, library, school, and cemetery departments were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer were verified and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.

It was found that receipts from athletic contests have not been paid over to the town treasurer as required by Section 47, Chapter 71, General Laws, as last amended by Chapter 411, Acts of 1951.

Appended to this report, and on file in the T.M.'s office, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transaction of the several trust funds.

Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts for the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts expressed his appreciation for the cooperation extended by all the town officials during the progress of the audit.
