ANNUAL REPORT
SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY AUDITOR
Office of City Auditor Decembre 19, 1925.
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 December 20, 1924 and ending December 19, 1925.
The first part of this report consists of schedules, which are made up from receipts and payments arranged upon the schedules for Uniform Muni- cipal accounting as issued by the Department of Corporations and Taxation, Division of Accounts, 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 gen- eral 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 or- der, 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 a report of trust funds and a statement of funds held by private trustees, the income of which is for the benefit of Newburyport or any other of its inhabitants.
SCHEDULE
Schedule A is a consolidated statement of total cash receipts and pay- ments during the year, and the cash balance at the beginning and end of the year. This schedule shows that during the year the city has paid $725.07 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 re-

CITY AUDITOR
ceipts from revenue $642,865.07 and expense of maintenance to be $639,329.19 making the excess of receipts over payments for the year $3,538.88 which amount with the balance of non-revenue payments for the year are indicated in the decrease of cash on hand.
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 statement of non-revenue receipts and payments, during the year.
In making up actual cost of maintenance and operation "Agency Trans- actions" 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, Peabody and Public Library Building funds, Treasurer and Collector, Treasurer of Public Library, City Clerk, City Mes- senger, Sealer of Weights and Measures, 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 $51,621.21. The appropriated accounts for the past year were overdrawn $2,223.96; income exceeded estimate $5,567.76, leaving surplus for the financial year $3,343.80 which was carried to excess and deficit account.
WILLIAM BALCH,
City Auditor.
