Eightieth Annual Report of The City Auditor
Office of City Auditor
December 20, 1930
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 21, 1929 and ending December 20, 1930.
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 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 Muncipal 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, in- cluding 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.
SCHEDULE
Schedule A is a consolidated statement of total cash receipts and payments 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 $14,435.07 more than was received.
9
CITY AUDITOR
Schedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $604,683.05 and expense of maintenance to be $614,512.63 making the excess revenue, payments over receipts for the year $9,829.58 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 departments, 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 inspected the accounts of the Water Department, found them incorrect, reporting the same to the Mayor, Water Commissioners and Director of Accounts. Have also audited the accounts of the Trust Fund Commissioners, Trustees of Wheelright, Pea- body 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.
In 1928, authority was given by the legislation to establish a plant for Chlorination of clams. See Chapter 51,, Acts of 1928.
During that year the city established a small plant at Plum Island and experimented on chlorination at an expense of $1,644.25. It was deemed a success.
In the year 1930 there was appropriated from reserve fund $4,000 and notes issued for $14,000 and a larger plant built and equipped at an ex- pense of $16,814.34 during the year. The plant was operating for business purposes about October 1, 1930. From October 1 to the close of the financial year the receipts were $3,539.25 and payments for maintenance $3,241.04. Under the statute the mayor has control of the plant and expenses are paid from funds received for chlorination.
The net debt of the City has been decreased in the past year $15,604.53. The appropriated accounts were overdrawn $8,618.41. Income exceeded esti- mate $12,685.94 with excess income tax of $17,208 which makes a total credit of $21,275.53. Of this amount, $20,000 was appropriated for the relief of the unemployed, leaving $1,275.53 which was credited to excess and deficit account.
10
ANNUAL REPORT
Besides the $20,000 appropriated for the unemployed, there was also transferred from reserve fund $10,000 for the unemployed and $5,000 for Public Welfare. This $30,000 was expended as follows: renovating School Buildings, $13,223.83, Tree Department $7,984.58, Snow and Ice Removal $5,463.23, Cleaning of City Hall, $1,201, Highway Repairs, $1,601.80, Parks and Cemetery $525.56.
