Sixty-second Annual Report of the City Auditor
City Auditor's Office, Dec. 21, 1912.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The undersigned herewith presents a report of the receipts and pay- ments of the City of Newburyport for the year beginning Dec. 16, 1911, and ending Dec. 21, 1912.
The first part of this report consists of schedules, which are made up from an exhibit of receipts and payments arranged upon the schedules for Uniform Municipal accounting as issued by the Bureau of Statistics of Labor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It will be noticed that the terms "Revenue" and "Non Revenue" are used. "Revenue" meaning money accruing to the municipal treasury under general taxation, police powers, gifts, or services rendered. "Non-Revenue" meaning Offsets to Outlays, such as permanent improvements, bond issues, money hired in anticipation of taxes, temporary accounts, etc. Following these schedules are presented detailed statements arranged in the same order, together with the usual matters given in the Auditor's report, including a schedule of the city property, city debt and assets, a statement of the securities held by the sinking fund commissioners as sinking funds, also as trust funds, and a statement of funds held by private trustees, the income of which is for the benefit of Newburyport or any of its inhabitants.
SCHEDULES.
Schedule A is a consolidated statement of total cash receipts and pay- ments during the year, and the cash balances at the beginning and end of the year. This schedule shows that during the year the city has spent $13,931.24 more than it received.
Schedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $361,349.31, and expense of maintenance to be $348,531.81, making the excess of receipts over payments for the year $12,817.50, which amount has been used in new construction, permanent improvements and reduction in debt. (See classification of Payments and Receipts).
Schedule C is a statement of revenue receipts and payments by de-
16
ANNUAL REPORT.
partments, less transfers, which make up the figures for Schedule B, also a statement of non-revenue receipts and payments during the year showing an excess of non-revenue payments, the funds for which were derived from the excess of revenue receipts shown in Schedule B and the decrease in cash shown in Schedule A and bond issues.
In making up actual cost of maintenance and operation "Agency Transactions" such as State Tax, County Tax, etc., are eliminated.
I would further report that I have audited the accounts of the Water Department, Sinking Fund Commissioners, Trust Fund Commissioners, Trustees of Wheelwright, Putnam, Atkinson, Atwood, Peabody and Public Library Building Funds, Treasurer and Collector, Treasurer of Public Library, City Clerk, City Messenger, Sealer of Weights and Measures, the cash disbursements of the Clerk of the Overseers of the Poor, and examined all bills presented, verified same, and when approved charged same to proper appropriations, signing orders on the treasurer for their payment; also have countersigned all notes and bonds, and have ascertained that issue of same was properly authorized.
The net debt of the city has been increased in the past year $10,213.36.
The undrawn balance of appropriated accounts for the past year was $2,726, which was appropriated as follows: Albert Currier School, $508.62; Pleasant Street Extension, $738.50; Abatement, $10.72; balances forward, $1277.57; balance paid to Sinking Fund Commissioners, $190.59.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM BALCH, City Auditor.
