CITY AUDITOR


Eighty-Fourth Annual Report of the City Auditor


-


Office of City Auditor


December 15, 1934.


To 'he 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 December 16, 1933 and ending December 15, 7934.


The first part of this report consists or 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 Com- monwealth of Massachusetts.


It will be noticed that the terms "revenue" and non-revenue" are used, "reverue' meaning money accruing to the municipal treasury under general taxation, police pow- ers, gifts, or services rendered. "Non-revenue" mearing 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 tor 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 the during the year the city has received $72,784.17 more than was paid.


Schedule B is a consolidated statement of the receipts and payments for operation and maintenance of the different departments, showing total receipts from revenue $675,834.07 and expense of maintenance to be $719,312.52 making the excess revenue, payments over receipts for the year $43,478.45 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 departments, less transfers, which make up the figures for Schedule B also a statement of non-revenue receipts and payments during the year.


8


ANNUAL REPORT


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 Depart- ment. Have also audited the accounts of the Trust Fund Commissioners, Trustees of Wheelwright, Peabody and Public Library Building Funds, Treasurer and Collector, 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 funded debt of the City has been decreased in the past year $29,040. The ap- propriated accounts had an undrawn balance of $3,144.51 against which were obliga- tions amounting to $3,070.17, leaving undrawn balance of $74.34 which was carried to excess and delicit account. Income exceeded estimate $7,150.60.


WILLIAM BALCH,


Auditor of Accounts.
