Sixty-Fifth Annual Report of the City Auditor.
City Auditor's Office, Dec. 18, 1915.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The undersigned herewith presents a report of the receipts and payment of the City of Newburyport for the year beginning Dec. 19, 1914, and ending Dec. 18, 1915:
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 im- provements, bond issues, money hired in anticipation of taxes, temporary accounts, etc. Following these schedules are presented detailed statements ar- ranged 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 state- ment 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 in- come 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 payments 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 received $12,598.38 more than it spent.
Schedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $339,753.23, and expense of maintenance to be $314,559.24, making the excess of receipts over payments for the year $25,193.99 which amount, less amount used for non revenue payments, makes up increase in cash balance.
Schedule C is a statement of revenue receipts and payments by depart- ments, less transfers, which make up the figures for Schedule B; also a state- ment of non revenue receipts and payments during the year showing an excess of non revenue payments of $12,595.61. This deducted from excess shown in Schedule B results in cash shown in Schedule A.
In making up actual cost of maintenance and operation "Agency Transac- tions" such as State Tax, County Tax, etc., are eliminated.

ANNUAL REPORTS
I would further report that I have audited the accounts of the Water De- partment, 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 decreased in the past year $44,737.99.
The undrawn balance of the appropriated accounts for the past year was $5,396.90. Income exceeded the estimate by $4,505.95, making a surplus of $9,902.85 from which was deducted abatements $7,840.00 leaving an undrawn balance of $2,062.85 to which was added unexpended balance of New Police Station account $244.28, unexpended balance of Clean Up Week $3.98, making total credit balance of $2,311.11, used as follows, credited interest for coupons out $742.50 held for contracts made and signed $1,358.00 paid to Sinking Fund Commissioners $210.61.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM BALCH, City Auditor.
