Report of the Controller
For the fiscal year ending February 29, 1928, the Controller drew 5,259 orders on the Treasurer for an aggregate of $2,247,857.14 as follows:
From the General Fund. $2,016,725.15
From the Sewer Construction Fund 228,664.98
From the Dog License Fund 2,467.01
Of the orders drawn on the General Fund $1,087,240.76 were charge- able against the budget appropriations; $230,218.53 for capital outlay; $34,890.28 to the fire districts for their share of the Corporation Stock Tax; $24,112.37 for accounts receivable and assessable benefits; $640,000.00 for repayment of temporary loans and $263.31 for refund of taxes where personal exemption is provided by statute.
Of the expenditures chargeable against the budget $856,625.85 was for current expenses and fixed charges, $202,765.23 for new macadam paving and $27,849.68 for storm water sewers. Of the amount spent for new macadam $108,272.03 will come back into the Town treasury in the form of assessments levied against abutting property.
Of the amount spent for capital outlay $186,865.78 was for schools and $41,352.75 for permanent road improvements.
The current fund balance sheet indicates that for the fiscal year just closed, the actual revenue received or accrued exceeded the budget esti- mate by $2,668.17. In addition to this excess of actual revenue there were $25,656.27 of unexpended appropriations, the two items together providing $28,324.44 of resources for the new budget.
The capital fund balance sheet shows unexpended balances of author- izations of $167,567.35 and a reserve for borrowed money of $343,719.32. As there are no resources to apply against these obligations, the result indicates necessary financing of $511,286.67 to take care of projects already authorized. In this connection it should be noted that the new issue of school bonds sold under date of March 15, 1928, will provide $503,905.00 of the necessary amount stated above.
This issue of school bonds bears interest at the rate of 4% and was sold on very favorable terms, thus indicating the high financial rating of this Town.
By reference to the operating statement of the sewer construction account, it will be noted there was a very sizable increase in the deficit
48
for the year just closed. This is explained by the construction costs of the Oakwood Avenue system. This work is not quite complete, consequently there were no assessments levied to credit against the construction charges.
The customary detailed audit of accounts has been made by the Town auditors.
Respectfully submitted,
H. H. BARTON, Controller.
