Auditor's Report.
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
In presenting the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1913, I wish to call to your attention a change that has been made in the financial statement which is now classified in accord- ance with the Bureau of Statistics' recommendations, the town having voted at the special Town meeting on July 11, 1912, to have the State Bureau of Statistics install a new system of book- keeping.
In accordance with this vote, during the months of May and June last year the new system was installed and the entire work from January 1, 1913 was changed and classified under their respective headings.
To the various town officials who have to do with town affairs the new system cannot but commend itself at once, and I feel very sure that its advantages will be more apparent to all when same becomes well established.
Treasurer's Cash Account.
The cash on hand December 31, 1913, was verified by me by actual count, and the cash in the banks was verified by a recon- ciliation of the outstanding checks with books and bank state- ments, and was further verified by letters received from each bank certifying to the amount to the credit of the town at the close of business December 31, 1913.
Taxes Collected.
The payments made by the collector agree with the amount as · received and credited on the Treasurer's cash book.
Trust Funds.
I have compared the bank books in the hands of the Treasurer with the amount called for in perpetual care fund account as being on deposit December 31, 1913, and they agree.
IO
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
Sinking Fund.
The cash in bank was verified by me by reconciliation of the outstanding checks and bank statements, and was further verified by a letter received from the bank certifying to the amount to the credit of the Sinking Fund account at the close of business December 1, 1913.
I also examined the securities in October in the presence of the Treasurer and one member of the Sinking Fund Commission and found them intact.
Water Department.
The books of this department were verified by me at the close of business December 31, 1913, by reconciliation of bank checks and bank statements, and was further verified by letter received from the bank certifying to the amount to the credit of the Water Commissioners at the close of business December 31, 1913.
In the balance sheets showing the condition of the Town at the close of business December 31, 1913, you will notice that same shows an excess of revenue of previous years of $17, 138.51, and that the surplus revenue for 1913 was $10,769.58, making a total excess of revenue $27,908.07.
I am having printed below a letter which I have received, and which I feel sure will be of interest to the voters :
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. BUREAU OF STATISTICS, State House, Boston. Charles F. Gettemy, Director.
SAUGUS, MASS., January 26, 1914.
Mr. Granville A. Clark, Town Auditor :
DEAR SIR,- I am in receipt of a copy of the balance sheet of the town of Saugus for the year ending December 31, 1913, and note some very significant facts.
The excess revenue of previous years is $17, 138.51 ; yet there remain uncollected on account of previous years the following accounts :
Taxes, 1908 to 1912 $12,660 43
Tax titles
15,638 91
Tax titles, final sales
1,505 31
J. S. Meacom litigation 3,900 95
Due from Commonwealth 31 95
$33,737 55
II
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
The difference between accounts receivable on account of pre- vious years and surplus revenue is $16,599.04, which must have represented the amount of 1913 revenues applied toward the pay- ment of 1912 tax loans. This seems to be clearly demonstrated by a study of the 1913 accounts.
The accounts receivable on account of 1913 revenue are as follows :
Taxes, 1913 . Less reserve for abatemements 3,494 93
$63,343 90
Due from Commonwealth .
Due from cities and towns
$59,848 97 4,581 94 400 03
Due from individuals
II OO
$64,84 1 94
The cash on hand, $19,769.20, from which should be deducted $4.22, gypsy moth appropriation balance carried forward, leaves $19,764.98. This together with the $7,563.60 which was appropriated to be raised in 1914 and expended from 1913 revenue, and accounts receivable of $64,841.94, makes a total of $92,170.52.
Tax loans outstanding aggregate $98,000, or $5.829.48 in excess of the total amount of the available assets of 1913. The balance sheet shows that the 1913 accounts should show a surplus of $10,769.56 ; therefore, the sum of $5,829.48 and $10,769.56, a total of $16,599.04, represents the 1913 revenues that have been applied toward the payment of previous years' accounts.
It seems unnecessary to call attention to the law relative to tax loans, as you are familiar with that ; yet the fact should not be overlooked that so long as taxes remain outstanding beyond the period for which tax loans may run, there must be a surplus on the books of the Town to that extent,-furthermore, the amount represented by tax titles must also be considered, for while, in most cases, they represent perfectly good assets, yet it takes cash to pay loans at maturity and it is necessary that the treasurer be provided with funds for this purpose.
Very truly yours,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.

In commenting upon the above unpaid bills, I will state that in some cases there were unexpended balances of sufficient amount to take care of these bills, had they been presented before the close of the year. In other cases the bills were held up on account of the appropriations having been exhausted.
The two unpaid bills belonging to the Treasurer's Department remain unpaid for the following reasons. The $45. is the bal- ance due on his salary, but owing to the fact that $45 was paid for clerk hire in his office before his time, from January 1, 1913, to February 1, 1913, it had been previously charged to Select- men's Incidentals, but when the accounts were changed over and classified in their respective headings, this amount was changed over to the Treasurer's Department, and there having been no appropriation to take care of same, it had to come out of his salary account. The $14.38 is the premium due on his bond from February 1, 1913, to March 1, 1914, and there having been only $100 appropriated for the one year bond, March 1, 1913, to March 1, 1914, there was no appropriation to take care of this.
Respectfully submitted,
GRANVILLE A. CLARK, Auditor.
