1938 Report of the Trustees for County Aid to Agriculture and the Hampden County Improvement League
TOWN OF WILBRAHAM
Agricultural Work
The agricultural service to local citizens during the year included soil testing, information and advice on farm financing, crop pest control, livestock, and crop production and marketing, agricultural engineering or construction, rodent control, farm management, and hurricane rehabilitation or salvage. Of these participating in these extension projects, the following were leading cooperators: L. W. Rice, Walter Bliss, Carl Heideen, Holton Pease, R. J. MacConnell, and James Pickens.
There were twenty-four local farmers enrolled in the Agricultural Conservation Program.
Home Bureau Work
Home Bureau Work was carried on in all three sections of the town with unusually fine responses. Of the ten projects conducted during the year "Stretching the Food Dollar, Home Furnishings, and Recreation" were of particular interest. More than 200 enrollments were made in all of the projects in which 29 local leaders were active in conducting 28 meetings and demonstrations.
4-H Club Work
There was an upward interest manifested in 4-H Club activities during the year, due in no small part to the splendid leadership of the various clubs organized by the local people. According to our records, there was an enrollment of 73 young people in 7 different club projects which is a larger number than has been reported for some years.
Eleven local leaders directed their club activities and with the County Agents made 79 farm and home visits. One of the largest and most enthusiastic craft clubs in the County was organized with Mrs. M. W. Brady as leader.
The Personality Club put on a radio broadcast during the year and Gordon Brady was chosen Camp Spirit for 1939 at Camp Moses.

Auditor's Report
I have made an examination of the accounts and account- ing records of the Town of Wilbraham, Massachusetts for the year ending December 31, 1938.
In my opinion they have been consistently maintained and reflect the true financial condition of the Town as of that date.
WM. E. PORTER, Town Auditor.
State Auditor's Report
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 Wilbraham for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1938 and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the various departments receiving or disbursing money for the
77
town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified.
The records of licenses granted by the board of Selectmen were examined. The recorded receipts were checked to the record of licenses granted and the payments to the treasurer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's cash book. The surety bonds filed with the town by individuals to whom liquor licenses were issued were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records of the departments collecting money for the town or sending out bills for collection, and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treas- ury, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants approved by the board of selectmen authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified and the cash balance on December 31, 1938, was proved by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the bank, by examination of the savings bank book, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved by a comparison with the amounts falling due and with the can- celled securities and coupons on file.

The appropriations as voted by the town were listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings and compared with the aggregate amounts chargeable against each appropriation.
In connection with the expenditures for Chapter 81 and Chapter 90 highway projects, attention is called to the fact that such expenditures must be limited to the amount of the appropriations voted, together with such amounts as are actually received from the State and County on account of the amounts allotted. If reimbursements from the State or County are not received in time to provide funds for the pay- ment of pay-rolls, a temporary loan in accordance with Section 6A, Chapter 44, General Laws, may be issued by the treasurer.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding at the time of
78

The recorded collections were checked, the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements as recorded were com- pared with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing 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.
A reconciliation of the collector's cash on December 31, 1938 showed excess cash of $115.
The receipts of the town clerk for dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued, the payments to the State and town treasurers were verified, and the cash on hand December 31, 1938 was counted.
The surety bonds filed with the town by the town clerk, treasurer, and tax collector were examined and found to be in proper form.
The tax collector's deeds to the town representing liens on real estate taken by the town for non-payment of taxes were examined. The tax title register was analyzed and checked with the collector's and the treasurer's accounts and with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with the record of fees charged and the payments to the treasurer were verified.

Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the trust fund transactions.
