Seventy-Ninth Annual Report of The City Auditor
Office of City Auditor
December 21, 1929
To th Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The undersigned herewith presents a report of the recipts and payments of the City of Newburyport for the year beginning December 15, 1928 and ending December 21, 1929.
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 accuring o the Municipal treasury under general taxation, police powers, gifts, or services rendered. "Non-revenue" mean- ing 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 paid $17,962.94 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
9
CITY AUDÍTOR
receipts from revenue $628,571.99 and expense of maintenance to be $612,162.65, making the excess revenue, receipts over payments for the year $16,409.34 which amount with the excess 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 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, Trust Fund Commissioners, Trustees of Wheelwright, Peabody and Public Library Building Funds, Treasurer and Collector, Treasurer of Public Library, City Clerk, City Messenger, 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 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 $39,447.08. The appropriated accounts had an undrawn balance of $2,898.10. Income exceeded estimate $4,306.75, with excess income tax of $11,104.49 which makes a total credit of $18,309.34 to which was charged tax deficit and bal- ance forward for contracts made, leaving $14,376.23, which was credited to excess and deficit account.
WILLIAM BALCH,
Auditor of Accounts.
