REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 26, 1931
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted the twenty-ninth annual report of the Accounting Department showing the receipts and expenditures on account of the Water Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1930
The service rendered by Mr. John H. Stetson as treasurer over a period of forty-five years is worthy of more than passing notice, and as he plans to retire at the end of his present term I record my appreciation of his faithful service, willingness to co- operate and accurate handling of the financial matters of the de- partment. It is with sincere regret that I see him relinquish the duties so honorably accomplished since I have been associated with him.
The cash and securities of the department have been exam- ined as required by statute and found as reported.
No great progress has been made in adjusting the old out- standing accounts referred to in my last report. The longer the delay the less likelihood of their being collected; so I would advise prompt consideration be given them.
The form of balance sheet contains one new item this year, namely. Revenue Reserved Until Collected. This item has formerly been consolidated with Surplus Revenue, which was not all avail- able for appropriating purposes as it included uncollected accounts. The item of Surplus Revenue is all available for appropriation.
The audit by the State Division of Accounts took considerably longer than it ordinarily should, thereby entailing an expense which could have been eliminated if suggestions made during the past few years had been given prompt attention. The recommendations were similar to those coming from this office some time ago and should be made effective.
It is gratifying to see the progress being made at the present time in the establishment of a system that incorporates the com- initment as one of its features. The system as outlined is a big improvement and will probably answer for the present, but steps should be taken to make it more efficient in the near future.
The conimitment of accounts to some person other than one within the department is most desirable.
For the proper management of the financial matters per- taining to town business I feel that the treasurer should maintain his office in the Town Hall where the official records of the de- partment could be available.
This arrangement would make for more efficient conduct of municipal affairs and I would suggest that if this were done the war- rants for the collection of water accounts be turned over to the treasurer, thereby improving the financial structure of the town from a business as well as an accounting standpoint.
308:
I do not want this suggestion to be taken as a reflection on any. of the personnel now responsible for this work, for such is not the case, but from an ethical standpoint it is not proper for officials to collect public monies on accounts for which they also issue the bills.
The co-operation of those in your department has been most helpful for which I express my appreciation.
Respectfully,
EMERSON R. DIZER
Town Accountant

Weymouth, Mass Jan. 27, 1931
I have examined the accounts of John H. Stetson, Treasurer of the Weymouth Water Department and find them correct. The records of the Collector's Department have been checked with the Treasurer at least once a month during the year and I am satis- fied that the report of the Collector is correct.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 27, 1931 To the Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare:
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith the 29th annual report of the accounting department, classified as requested by. the State Division of Accounts.
The accounts of the several town officials have been examined during the year and I believe them to be correct. Cash balances have been verified at least once a month as required by law.
The result of the audit made by the State Division of Accounts received recently, is most gratifying when comparison is made with the reports of some of the other cities and towns in the Common- wealth where financial difficulties were found as revealed through the public press.
The several Trust accounts in possession of the Treasurer were examined during the year and found as set forth in his report.
The illness of Mr. Stetson in October necessitated the appoint- ment of a temporary treasurer. Mr. Edwin R. Sampson was ap- pointed to this position and held office until December 20th when Mr. Stetson again took over the duties of the office.
The treasurer's accounts were audited by me when trans- ferred to Mr. Sampson and found in balance.
Mr. Stetson has decided not to be a candidate for re-election to the position he has so honorably held for over forty-five years. I believe this period of service calls for recognition by the town, and hope steps will be taken that it may be properly acknowledged.
The final payment was made in 1930 on the loan for the con- struction of the Monatiquot River Bridge. While the town author- ized borrowing $170,000 for the construction of the Ward Two Fire Station and the addition to the Bicknell School, the borrowing capacity was increased to $333.026.33 by additional valuation and the payment of $81,000 for debt retirement in 1931.
The several statements appended to this report give accurate information relative to the subjects considered, and while it is im- possible to incorporate in a report of this nature every detail that some might desire, the records in my office are available at all times and I shall be glad to give any information possible relative to town financial matters, any citizen desires.
desire to express my appreciation to your board and other officials for their willingness to co-operate, to the end that public expenditures might be made in conformity to law.
Respectfully,
EMERSON R. DIZER
Town Accountant
