There will also be required about $32,643.75 to meet interest charges for ensuing year.
I should not consider my report complete without bringing to the attention of the town at this time the apparent deficit amount- ing to $2286.74 as shown under the heading "Floating Debt" and the causes thereof. This deficit or shortage has not been brought about by any error or carelessness on the part of anyone, but is the result of circumstances which could not be foreseen and is liable to occur in any year. When the Assessors make up the levy of taxes, they are allowed by law to deduct anticipated re- ceipts in an amount equal to but not exceeding the receipts of the previous year. These anticipated receipts do not always
95
materialize and the result is a deficit. There is also another cause for shortage in our business capital, and that is an ever increasing number of tax titles accruing to the Town at each of the annual tax sales.
This year the Assessors acting under the law and basing their action on the amount of Corporation tax received last year de- ducted from the tax levy the amount of $9164.39 and much to the surprise of everyone the amount received from the state was $5798.49, a loss in this instance alone of $3365.90 in our working cash. Again this year the tax sales amounted to $1901.60 which also lessons our cash resources, for both the $3365.90 and 81901.60 represent cash appropriated and expended by the Town and which should be received in cash through taxes to meet the expense of carrying on the business of the Town. It is true that there have been shortages from various sources every year, but there have also been certain unexpected receipts each year that have balanced or offset such shortages.
This year the amount of deficit shows that the losses are much greater than the gains. It must be apparent to anyone that no gains of the coming year can wipe out both this deficit and also any that may develope in the new year's business and should a continued shortage be accumulated year after year the Town of Wakefield will eventually be placed in the position in which some other towns have been placed and like them will at some future time be obliged to make an appropriation to meet any deficit which may have been piling up.
Having, I hope, explained to the Town, so that it may be understood, some of the causes by which a deficit may be brought about, I will now endeavor to suggest a remedy.
Every business man knows that in conducting the affairs of any firm or corporation and the Town of Wakefield is nothing more or less than a corporation doing business, that it is highly impor- tant to have as good a system of accounting as it is possible to ob- tain. Under our present system, we seem to be groping some- what in the dark trusting that at the end of our business year one hand shall have washed the other, and that things will somehow
96
balance up. This, I do not believe, is good business on the part of the town.
The Legislature of Massachusetts has recently passed an act, Chap. 624, Acts of 1910, providing for a uniform system of City and Town accounting, which has already been adopted by some towns, while others have arranged their system to conform with some of the important details thereof. The Town of Reading has rearranged its system of accounting along the lines laid down by this Act, and I learn from the officials of that Town that it has proven highly satisfactory. Our present system of account- ing as kept by our Board of Auditors, is and has been for many years very superior to that used by most of the towns of the State and does not materially differ from the methods laid down by the Bureau of Statistics under the Act referred to. While I do not recommend the adoption of the Act as a whole, there are, how- ever, some essential features connected with the State method which I believe would prove a benefit to the Town if adopted.
I refer in particular to the Profit and Loss Account, which they have provided for and which every citizen knows is a very impor- tant account in any system of business accounting With this Profit and Loss Account in operation, the Auditors would during the business year credit same with all unexpected gains and debit all unexpected losses and the net gain or loss would at the end of the year be provided for in the next year's tax levy by the Asses- sors deducting any net gain or assessing any net loss. This would wipe out any deficit such as has occurred this year and might occur in future years.
Another strong argument in favor of some system of this kind is the monthly trial balance covering every part of the Town's fi- nancial business ; this balance sheet could be published at a small expense in our local newspapers so that every citizen could ob- serve and study the Town's financial condition from month to month, instead of being obliged, as at present, to go through a whole year's work in the short time which intervenes between the publishing of the Annual Town Report and the Annual Spring Meeting.
I realize that I have made the longest reading report ever made by a Treasurer in the Town Report, but as it has always been my
97
desire to give any information that I could concerning any de- partment with) which I have been connected, and to answer any inquiry to the best of my ability, whether it be from the Town, from a committee or from any individual citizen, I deem it my duty to call the attention of the Town to the above important matters and in closing would recommend that the Town either by a special committee or through its Finance Committee, take up the consideration of some system as above outlined for the keeping of our Town accounts, and make some provision for the future benefit of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT W. FLINT,
Treasurer.
Wakefield, January 9, 1911.
