Auditors' Report
The Board of Auditors herewith present to the Town of Wake- field its report for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1912.
From Jan. 1, 1912, to Dec. 31, 1912, 3,397 orders, amounting to $285,907.14, have been drawn by the Board of Selectmen on the Town Treasurer. We have examined the vouchers for these payments and have verified the arithmetic of all bills coming be- fore the Board of Selectmen for payment during the year
We have verified the accounts of such departments as pay money into the Treasury, and have examined the books of the Collector of Taxes.
In submitting our report to the citizens of Wakefield there are several points to which we wish o draw attention. In so doing our only aim is to place the method of municipal financing and municipal accounting of the Town of Wakefield upon a basis as thoroughly businesslike as possible. Perhaps the most important is the matter of departmental receipts. Under the present method the bills are made out and the cash collected by the same department, oftentimes by the same individual. This method in our opinion should be changed. The source from which the bills emanate should be independent of the department or individual collecting cash against these bills. A more businesslike way would be to have a Town Collector, whose duty it shall be to collect all money from whatever source, including taxes, due the town. Thus there is a constant check between the collector and each of the various departments. It also relieves boards or commissions, which are subject to yearly changes, of the duty of collecting against the bills rendered by a previous board, a duty which has not always been performed.
Under a collector the revenue of the town will pass through the hands of one man, he to be properly bonded. instead of being handled by many boards, under no bonds, and some of necessity more capable than others. We believe that the entire financial affairs of a depa tment, such as remitting bills and in tarn receiv-
259
ing cash against these bills, should not be lodged in the hands of any one department or any one individual.
Another matter to which we wish to draw attention is the using of receipts by some of the departments. We believe that all re- ceipts or reimbursements, regardless of their nature, should remain, in the Town Treasury and be not available for expenditure by the department collecting same, unless the law provides otherwise. Make the appropriation at the spring meeting sufficient to carry a department through the entire year, and in making this appropri- ation name a definite amount. The appropriation of expected receipts or credits is the appropriation of an unknown amount.
We believe that each of the various town boards or officers · should have a separate and distinct appropriation for the mainten- ance of their particular department, this appropriation to include salary. By this method the expenditure of money under the term "Miscellaneous Account" will be brought to a minimum, and the cost to the town of any board or officer revealed at a glance.
The receipts of a department are deposited with the bank in two ways, viz., either by the department itself or handed to the Treasurer and deposited by him. Under existing conditions the only check upon receipts is by comparing the amount deposited, as per the figures of the Town Treasurer, with the amount which the various departments claim to have deposited or should have been deposited. This check is satisfactory so far as it goes, but it falls far short of the mark. This method provides a check upon the cash received by the Treasurer, but does not provide a check upon the cash received by the various departments. When you consider that the receipts credited t, the Municipal Light Plant alone were approximately $73,000, and to the Water Department approximately $39,000, the importance of this question is realized.
What is needed is a check between departments and consumers, or those having dealings with the departments. The only method of obt ining this check, under existing conditions, is by an audit of each individual transaction of every department, a task which, under the system now in vogue. is well nigh prohibitive. We be- lieve it to be our duty to call attention to the possibilities existing under the present system :.
260
Wakefield is a large and a growing town. Systems and methods that were satisfactory years ago are not efficient today. Depart- ments should carefully scrutinize their bills. All supplies bought should be bought to the best possible advantage. A thorough understanding and a spirit of co-operation amongst the various boards must exist if the best results are to be attained.
The passing of the year 1912, in our opinion, brings one year nearer the time at which all cities and towns in the Commonwealth will be compelled, by a legislative act, to adopt a uniform system of municipal accounting.
It has always been our aim to have the annual town report in the hands of the citizens at the earliest possible date. We are fre- quently delayed through some of the departments not presenting their reports until long after the time prescribed by the Town By - laws has passed. If this date was more closely adhered to by the various departments, many days would be saved in the publication of the report.
In the floating debt statement of the Treasurer's report is shown an excess of liabilities over assets amounting to $22,735.84. This apparent deficit is caused collectively as follows :
1st. Through expected or anticipated receipts not materializ- ing.
2nd. Through the large amount of Tax Titles taken by the Town for which the Treasurer has not been reimbursed.
3rd. Through uncollected taxes, viz., moth taxes and sewer taxes not being shown as an asset in the statement of the floating debt.
4th. By an error in figuring the net tax levy.
In compliance with the vote of the Town we have compiled the one hundred and first annual town report and submit the same.

crease in the number of people who use the Park and Common for rest and recreation. As a consequence of this, the surface of the Park will require a larger outlay to keep it in its present healthy and attractive appearance. The State Boulevard, for which the General Court of the Commonwealth appropriated $50.000, will undoubtedly be constructed within a few years, and this should impress our citizens with the importance of liberal appropriations each year for the improvement of the Park. especially along the easterly shore of the lake. Much of the land acquired a few years ago, especially portions between Main Street and the lake, re- quires considerable filling to make it available for park purposes, and an appropriation large enough to include at least a portion of the cost of this should be made each year. We commend these suggestions to the thoughtful consideration of our citizens.
DRINKING FOUNTAIN
The old drinking fountain on the Common, which has done duty for many years, has outlived its usefulness, and to put it in condi- tion to comply with the sanitary requirements of the law would be a useless expense. Probably a modern fountain suitable for the purpose could be installed for about $75. This should be done previous to the coming summer.
BAND CONCERTS
That good music is appreciated by our own townspeople, and also by large numbers of the citizens of adjoining towns and cities, was evident during the late summer and fall by the large attend- ance at the four concerts which were given on the Park. Much of the success of these concerts was due to the appropriation made by the town, augmented by contributions from some of our citizens, and the co-operation of the Bay State Street Railway Company, who gave free transportation to the musicians. We trust that the arti- cle in the Town Warrant for our annual meeting calling for an appropriation for this purpose, will receive favorable considera tion.
263
HARTS HILL RESERVATION
The most important improvement on any of the town's park lands was made possible through the generosity and by the sug- gestions of our esteemed townsman, Mr. John J. Round. To accomplish these much needed improvements, required an expend- iture of $2.100. Of this amount Mr. Round contributed $1,700, exclusive of the $100 subscribed by him for band concerts on the Park. The old wall along Main Street was removed, and a gran- ite faced retaining wall with cement capstones was erected along nearly the entire Main Street frontage. Two handsome granite pillars at the driveway entrance and stone steps from the street near the former Flint estate were built to render access easier to the ball field. A water pipe was laid from Main Street nearly to the ball field, and a Sanitas drinking fountain erected. This will also be used in the winter season for flooding several acres with water and creating an artificial pond, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by all persons who delight in skating. About four hundred young evergreen trees were planted on the elevated part of the reservation, and nearly all of them are alive at the present time. The Board of Park Commissioners are especially pleased at the prospect of a lookout tower and station to be erected on the summit of Harts Hill, which, while it will be a source of much pleasure to those who are familiar with the locality, we trust it may also be the means of attracting larger numbers of our citizens to this picturesque and interesting part of Wakefield's park sys- tem. While much was accomplished during the season, there still remains much to be done to complete the work already under way. The driveway should be extended and paths constructed to the top of the rock, and the ball ground relocated. The level land along Main Street should be rolled and seeded down, and we feel confident that our citizens, bearing in mind the liberality of the one who made possible this splendid improvement, will willingly vote for the necessary amount to complete the work already begun. For this purpose we recommend an appropriation of $500.
The Park Commissioners are indebted to Mr. O. E. Stark- weather, Superintendent of Streets, for valuable suggestions and
264
also engineering work in connection with the improvements made on this reservation.
WAKEFIELD JUNCTION PLOT
As stated in the report of this Board for the municipal year of 1911, efforts were being made then, and have been continued during the past year, to induce the Boston & Maine Railroad Co., who are the owners of an adjoining piece of land, to co-operate with this Board in making a park of both the properties. Inter- views almost without number have been held with officials of the road, and under the direction of this Board plans were made by a competent landscape architect showing the proposed joint im- provements. These plans were submitted to Mr. Byrnes, Vice- president of the Railroad Company, who expressed his approval of them and promised co-operation. No definite reply has been received up to the time of writing this report, but we feel confi- dent that an arrangement can be effected, probably in the early spring, whereby the co-operation of the railroad company, so essen- tial to the proper development of this land, will be given, and one which will be satisfactory to all parties concerned. Should co-operation be declined, it would be advisable to proceed to de- velop this plot by using the balance available which was given by the donor of the land.
We recommend that the town raise and appropriate for park purposes for the ensuing municipal year the sum of one thousand five hundred and fifty dollars ($1,550), five hundred of said amount to be expended on Harts Hill Reservation. This should be exclusive of any amount providing for band concerts.
Respectfully submitted,
