Book balances were verified by comparison with reconciled bank balances made from statements obtain- ed from depository banks. GENERAL COMMENTS Indebtedness, Valuation and Taxes:

Table I presents a ten-year statement of Indebted- ness, Valuation and Taxes, covering the fiscal years

1942 to 1952, inclusive. It is noted that the Town start- ed this period with a Surplus of $3,379.52 and ended with a Net Debt of $21,201.31. The assessed valuation of taxable property increased by about $300,000.00, or 27 ^c, while the amount of the annual tax levy increased from $40,675.32 to $85,- 685.69, or XWJo. The local tax rate increased from $3.54 to $6.02 per hundred, compared to an increase in the average tax rate for the State during this period of $3.23 to $4.52.

It is noted that at the close of the fiscal year of 1942 there were uncollected and unredeemed taxes amounting to $1,061.41, as compared to $4,848.54 at the end of 1952.

Appropriation Overdrafts : The budget summary (Exhibit A-4) indicates Overdrafts of Appropriations $7,809.53 :

Unexpended Balances of Appropria- tions ',870.63

Net Overdraft of Appropriations $2,938.90 Section 5 of Chapter 52, Revised Laws of New Hampshire, as amended, (Municipal Budget Act) the provisions of which have been adopted by the Town of Canaan, provides as follows "5. Exceeding Appropriations. In towns adopting the provisions of this chapter, no board of selectmen, school board, commissioners of a village district wholly within said town, or other expending agency shall pay or agree to pay any money or incur any liability involving the expenditure of money for any purpose for which an appropriation has not been made, or in excess of any appropriation or allotment made to it. except for the purpose of paying judgments rendered against the town or school district or said village district, provided, however, that in case of sudden and unexpended emergency the selectmen or village commissioners on application to the tax commission and the school board on application to the state board of educa- tion, after hearing, may be given a certificate of emergency authorizing them to make such expenditures or incur such liability, provided that no such certificate of emergency shall be granted unless the budget committee of the town has approved the expenditure. In cases arising during the year following the annual meeting where changes occur which make it unnecessary to use the amount ap- propriated for a specific purpose, an unexpended balance may be transferred by the board of selectmen or the school board or the village commissioners of such village district from one appropriation to another, provided the total amount expended for all purposes does not exceed the total amount ap- propriated at the town, school or village district meetings for all purposes."

It is noted, therefore, that contrary to the provisions of Section 5 of the Municipal Budget Act, (1) expenditures were in excess of budgetary appropriations :

31 and (2) no application was made to the Tax Commis- sion for the authorization of such excess expenditures. Tax Warrants: All tax warrant books should be totaled, signed and sealed by the Board of Selectmen and the amount of the warrant inserted therein before being committed to the Collector.

Order-Checks :

It is recommended that the Treasurer countersign the Selectmen's orders rather than issue separate checks as is now the practice. By adopting this method, the orders become negotiable instruments which have the same numerical sequence as the vouchers. Reports to State Re: Bounties & Head Taxes: Application should be made to the State each year for reimbursement on account of bounty payments by the Town. It was noted that no request had been made at the time of the audit for bounties paid by the Town as follows 1951 — $135.50 1952 — $140.50

It was also noted at the time of audit that no remittance had been made by the Town to the State on account of head tax collections, either for the amount which was due the State on December 31, 1952 or for collections made during 1953. Reports and remittances on account of head tax collections should be made to the State within the periods prescribed by law in order to avoid the payment of penalties for late filing. Classification of Accounts: More attention should be given to tlie classification of expenditure in order that the expenditure may be charged to the proper appropriation account. Tax Collector: The Tax Collector should adopt the use of the standard loose leaf columnar cash book which provides for the segregation of tax collections and redemptions 32

from tax sales by years of levy and type of tax,—i.e. property, poll, yield or head tax. The Collector should enter all abatements allowed in the warrant book, indicating the date and amount of the abatement. Town Clerk: The Town Clerk should adopt the use of the prescribed form of cash book in which all motor vehicle permits and dog licenses issued should be recorded. Trust Funds: Tt was noted that unexpended income as well as principal was used to make investments incident to the establishment of a common trust fund. It was also noted that capital gain dividends were credited to income. The law requires that trust fund principal and income be kept separate, therefore future investments should be made entirely out of principal. Capital gain dividends are regarded as an addition to principal and should not therefore be credited to income or expended as such.

Conclusion : The provisions of Section 31, Chapter 211, of the Laws of 1939, require that this report or a summary of its essential features shall be published in the next annual town report. This letter of transmittal should be included in is entirety but the inclusion of Exhibits is optional. We extend our thanks to the officials of the Town of Canaan for their assistance during the course of the audit. Yours very truly, HAROLD G.
