TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REMARKS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
I herewith present my second annual report as Town Account- ant for the Town of Norwood, for year ending Jan. 31, 1913.
Town Treasurer. I have examined the receipts and payments of the Town Treasurer, Harold W. Gay, at the close of each month, and have verified cash balances, and find and certify that the cash on hand of the Town Treasurer, January 31, 1913 is fifty-three thousand thirteen dollars and seventy-two cents, ($53,013.72), and that the amount of the sinking fund is thirty- five thousand nine hundred two dollars and forty-three cents, ($35,902.43), and that the securities are on hand safely kept by him, as shown in the accountant's report of the investments of the sinking fund.
Collector of Taxes. I have examined the receipts and collec- tions of the Collector of Taxes, George O. Capen, and payments made by him to the Town Treasurer, and find and certify that he has deposited and accounted for all collections shown on his books to date January 31, 1913, and that lists of uncollected taxes and assessments committed to the collector are on file in this office.
Municipal Light Department. I have examined the accounts of F. S. Barton, as collector of sales for the Municipal Light De- partment, and find that he has deposited with the Town Treas- urer, Harold W. Gay, amounts shown received on account of sales to January 31, 1913.
Cemetery Department. I would recommend that the collec- tions for care of lots and sales of lots in the Cemetery depart- ment, be transferred either to the Treasurer or the Collector of Taxes; also, that a small appropriation be made by the town from the Cemetery Department balance to revise accounts of care of lots in the cemetery.
174
I would also recommend that the coming year provisions be made in the appropriations in some of the different depart- ments, for the employment of additional clerical help at such times throughout the year as it may be needed.
As will be seen in the Excess and Deficiency account, there is a surplus of twenty-eight thousand two hundred thirty- six dollars and twenty-six cents ($28,236.26), which can be con- sidered in making appropriations for the current year. This amount, however, is offset by outstanding taxes to the amount of twenty thousand four hundred sixty-three dollars and ninety- seven cents ($20,463.97), and in order that a large amount of this surplus be available for expenditure the current year, col- lection of these taxes should be enforced. Amongst these taxes are a large number of unpaid poll taxes, and I would recommend that the town require that on all poll taxes remain- ing unpaid after November 1st of each year, that demand and summons be issued for the same before the 15th of November, which would insure the collection of these poll taxes.
I again call the attention of the citizens to the lack of sufficient storage for records and vouchers, and would strongly urge that in the arranging of the new town offices now in prospect, pro- vision be made either for the construction of a fireproof vault or the purchase of additional safes.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES E. PENDERGAST, Town Accountant.
