NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Town Accountant
Last year the Finance Committee's Report contained an article relative to your Town Accountant which was mis- leading and which your Finance Committee knew at the time was misleading and was inserted with a certain purpose. The article I refer to was in reference to OVERDRAFTS, and for the benefit of those citizens who are not familiar with the difference between overdrafts and unpaid bills I am making this explanation.
Overdrafts means "BILLS PAID IN EXCESS OF THE APPROPRIATION" and are created in three or four dif- ferent ways, among which are bills paid on orders of Court Judgments and over which your Town Accountant has no control, debits from the Commonwealth and which are deducted by the Commonwealth from the credits due the Town or City and over which the Town Accountant has no control, and bills approved in excess of appropria- tions over which he does have control. An unpaid bill is a bill created in excess of appropriation by a department head and over which the Town Accountant has no control. The first year your present Town Accountant was in office he created an overdraft of one cent for which he was to blame; the second year none and the third year (1929) $95.29 on the Poor Department's appropriation for which he was to blame. Had there not been an over- draft in this department, the unfortunates of this town would have suffered.
I am pleased to report a substantial reduction in the Town's debt since installation of the present system of bookkeeping. Since January 1st, 1927, the outstanding notes (including Anticipation of Revenue notes) has been
36
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
reduced from $171,600 to $148,300 unpaid bills from $20,000 to approximately $2,000 annually and surplus revenue increased from $12,500 to $24,000. Several small debits reduces the above items by about $6,000, which leaves a net better financial standing of about $48,000.
This condition is due to several reasons, among which is the early commitment of Tax Levy's, the different depart- ment heads working in conjunction with your Town Ac- countant to live within their appropriations and all de- partments working together for the benefit of the town.
A difference of $56.88 will be noted between the Tax Collector's report of 1927 and your Accountant's report, This was caused by the Tax Collector being credited with a Tax Sale and which was found to be an illegal sale and was not brought to the attention of your Accountant un- til after his books were closed. This amount will be charged against the Collector during the coming year and so raise his debit this additional amount.
I herewith respectfully submit my report for the year 1929.
ELMER L. BURCHELL, Town Accountant.
