CITY AUDITOR
Ninetieth Annual Report of the City Auditor
Office of the City Auditor. December 31, 1940.
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 January 1, 1940 and ending December 31, 1940.
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 Common- wealth of Massachusetts.
It will be noticed that the terms "revenue" and "non-revenue" are used, "revenue" meaning money accruing to the municipal treasury and 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 re- port 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 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 received $70,636.53 more than was expended.
Schedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $976,907.44 and expense of maintenance to be $1,009,838.57, making excess payments $32,931.13 for the year, which amount with the excess of non-revenue payments for the year is 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 Transactions" such as State Tax, County Tax, etc. are eliminated.
I would further report that I have inspected the accounts of the Water Department. Have also audited the accounts of the Trust Fund Commissioners, Trustees of Wheel- wright, Peabody and Public Library Building Funds, Treasurer and Collector, City Clerk, City Messenger, Sealer of Weights and Measures and examined all bills pre- sented, verified same and when approved charged same to proper appropriations, sign-

ing 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 funded debt of the City has been decreased in the past year $6,239.09. The ap- propriated accounts had an undrawn balance of $3,574.15. Income exceeded estimate $4,300.85.
