Seventy-Eighth Annual Report of The City Auditor
Office of the City Auditor December 15, 1928.
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 17, 1927 and ending December 15, 1928.
The first part of this report consists of schedules, which are made up from receipts and payments arranged upon the schedules for Uniform Municipal accounting as issued by the Department of Corporations and Tax- ation, 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 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 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 of its inhabitants.
SCHEDULES
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 received $19,648.83 more than was paid.
Echedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $593, 288.35 and expense of maintenance to be

CITY AUDITOR
$587,411.68, making the excess revenue, receipts over payments for the year $5,876.67, which amount with the excess of non-revenue receipts for the year are indicated in the increase 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 Tran- sactions" 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 Buliding Funds, Treasurer and Collector, Treasurer of Public Library, City Clerk, City Messenger, Sealer of Weights and Measures, and examined all bills present- ed, verified same and when approved charged same to proper appropriations. signing orders on the Treasurer for their payments; 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 $47,429.61. The appropriated accounts had an overdrawn balance of $1,963.05. Income exceeded estimate $9,993.99, making a total credit balance of $8,030.94 which was credited to excess and deficit account.
WILLIAM BALCH,
City Auditor.
