We have found the records of the Clerk of the Water Board neatly and carefully kept, and we also commend the work of Miss Briggs, on the water register. Considerable time has been spent by the Auditors on the books of the Tax Collector endeavoring to make them agree with the account of the Treasurer, but they were not able to do so exactly. We believe that this condition, which has existed for a long time, would be removed should the Collector use a cash book in connection with his record books.
We believe the town is to be congratulated upon the system of accounting which is now well established, and we feel that at least a word of recognition should be accorded Mr. Joseph W. Vinal, whose interested efforts in this direction have contributed so much to this result.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES B. CUSHING, GEO. E. REED, JOHN A. NEAL,
JANUARY 1, 1903.
Auditors.
TOWN ACCOUNTANT.
WEYMOUTH, January 1, 1903.
To the Board of Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor:
GENTLEMEN : - Herewith I submit the work of the Accounting Department for the past year : -
My duties began the first of April. A complete system of double entry bookkeeping was inaugurated, with registers for each department and a card ledger for individual accounts. The manner of paying accounts has been simplified and a form of draft adopted, with the provision that its endorsement constitutes a receipt in full for the account specified. There has also been an improvement in treating the cash receipts and expenditures at the Town Farm by which the Superintendent has been relieved of the detail work in this line, and during the coming year it is be- lieved that practically all receipts and disbursements will be entered on the Accountant's books, thus completing the system by which all receipts pass through the Treasurer's hands and all payments are made by drafts.
It will be noticed that the financial report which follows is a little different in form than usual, an attempt having been made to make a continuous report, economizing as much space as possible, and showing by a third column of figures the accumulat- ing expenditures and the grand total at the end. After a portion of the copy had been written it was found impracticable to carry out the plan with a book of the present size, and this is men- tioned to account for any lack of uniformity which may be no- ticed.
I am happy to add that my relations with all town officials have been entirely harmonious, and I appreciate the value of their co- operation, especially the helpful advice and suggestions received from the Clerk of the Board.
Respectfully, CHARLES B. CUSHING,
Town Accountant.
