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 clerk of the town of Wilbraham for the period from September 28, 1943, the date of the previous examination, to December 31, 1943, and of the general accounts of the town for the year ending December 31, 1943, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the departments collecting or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collections, were examined, checked, and verified.
The surety bonds filed with the town by the town clerk, town treasurer, and town collector were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the records of the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The treasurer's expenditures were compared with the approved selectmen's warrants, and the cash balance December 31, 1943, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks of deposit, by examination of the savings bank books, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The securities, including savings bank books, representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals and expenditures being verified.
103
The books and accounts of the town collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The commitment lists of all taxes and departmental accounts receivable were added and proved with the warrants given by the board of assessors and with the records of charges in the departments committing bills for collection. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the recorded abatements were checked with the records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
Verification of the outstanding tax and departmental accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a number of per- sons 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 town collector's cash balance December 31, 1943, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of tax titles, representing liens on real estate taken by the town for the non-payment of taxes, were examined and checked with the collector's and the treasurer's accounts, and with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The financial transactions of the town clerk were ex- amined. The receipts 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, 1943, was proved.
The charges for the rental of town-owned property were added, the recorded collections were checked, and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified.
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.
The recorded receipts of the dental clinic were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The recorded receipts for licenses issued by the board of selectmen were checked with the record of licenses granted and the payments to the treasurer were verified. The surety bonds filed with the town by individuals to whom liquor licenses were issued were examined and found to be in proper form.
104
The records of accounts receivable of the highway and public welfare departments were examined. The charges were added, the recorded collections and abatements were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The charges of the health department for garbage collec- tion service were added, the recorded collections were checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined. The charges for the sale of water, water services, etc., were added, the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements and transfers from water connection deposits were checked, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved.
