Sixty-Seventh Annual Report of the City Auditor
City Auditor's Office, Dec. 15, 1917.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The undersigned herewith presents a report of the receipts and payments of the City of Newburyport for the year beginning Dec. 16, 1916, and ending Dec. 15, 1917.
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 ac- counts, 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 paid $64,350.01 more than was 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 $360,143.79, and expense of maintenance to be $336,684.03, making the excess of receipts over payments for the year $23,459.76, which amount, with amount used for non revenue payments, is indicated in the reduction in amount of notes payable.
Schedule C is a statement of revenue receipts and payments by departments, 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 of $64,350.01. This deducted from excess shown in Sched- ule B results in cash shown in Schedule A.
In making up actual cost of maintenance and operation "Agency Trans- actions " such as State Tax, County Tax, etc., are eliminated.

The net debt of the city has been decreased in the past year $64,702.00.
The undrawn balance of the appropriated accounts for the past year was $6,451.27. Income exceeded the estimate $9,848.29, making a surplus of $16,299.56, from which was deducted abatements $5,764.64 and balances carried forward for contracts made, for City Hall fuel $142.50.
