The Commonwealth of Massachusetts BUREAU OF STATISTICS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
February 5, 1915.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Forrest A. Seavey, Chairman, Wakefield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I have to report the completion of an examination of the accounts of the town of Wakefield and the installa- tion of a system of accounts made pursuant to the pro- visions of Chapter 598, Acts of 1910, and amendments, and a vote of the town under said act. This work was placed in charge of Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Bureau, whose report I am enclos- ing herewith, consisting of a statement of the character of the work performed and numerous tabular state- ments bearing upon the financial condition of the town, all of which is respectfully commended to your attention.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES F. GETTEMY, Director.
374
Mr. Charles F. Gettemy,
Director, State Bureau of Statistics, State House, Boston.
Dear Sir.
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the accounts of the town of Wakefield and installed an accounting system, petitioned for by vote of the town March 23, 1914.
The accounts of the several departments were audited for the year 1914 and balances, as shown by the books of the town reconciled to December 1, 1914. The books were opened as of that date.
The clerical work under the system in use was found to be accurate; where adjustments were necessary, it was due to the fact that the general scheme did not bring facts out prominently as the system provided will do.
The financial transactions of the town are such as to call for a general interlocking scheme which centralizes the accounting in a single department. From the accountant's books informa- tion relative to receipts, payments, and appropriation accounts will be available at all times.
The town having authorized the appointment of, and the selectmen having appointed, a town accountant, provision has been made for properly carrying out the system installed.
The books of the auditors showed a complete list of appro- priations and greatly assisted in making the audit. It had been their custom to audit bills and pay-rolls before payment and to charge them to their respective appropriations, thereby eliminating overdrafts and errors usually disclosed by original audits.
An examination was made of the several departments receiv- ing for disbursing money and all accounts receivable, as shown by their books, were listed and set up on the accountant's books. A brief description is found in this report.
The balance sheet appended discloses the financial condition of the town. The revenue surplus is less than the accounts receivable of 1913, thereby necessitating the carrying forward of a large amount of revenue loans.
375
The overlay accounts are insufficient to meet abatements granted, and there remains a considerable sum in the outstand- ing tax accounts, a portion of which will in all probability be abated; to the extent to which abatements are allowed will the surplus revenue accounts be further reduced unless prov- ision is made to meet the same.
The revenue loans outstanding at the end of the year should not exceed the free cash on hand plus the current revenue accounts realizable. From the accountant's books similar statements will be prepared, which will show whether sufficient funds are being provided, - if ample provision is not being made, the fact will be reflected in the revenue loan account.
It is recommended that the statutory provisions relative to revenue loans be carefully considered in the preparation of the annual budget. In preparing the budget, appropriations should, so far as practical, be arranged so as to bring the functional costs together, thus presenting to the town in a concise manner the entire cost of any particular service. Flat appropriations enable administrative officers to plan their work for the entire year; for when a certain amount is granted, plus receipts, the amount available for the use of such department is contingent upon the receipts, and is necessarily a constantly changing figure. .
The treasurer's cash book was checked and bank balance verified. All receipts and payments were found to be correctly entered and proved to the bank statement. Unpaid orders were listed and set up as a liability against cash.
The collector's accounts were checked and outstanding taxes, and moth and sewer assessments were listed.
The following statement is a summary of the collector's accounts for the year ;

The assessors' warrant for 1914 was checked to the commit- ment book. A difference between the warrant and commit- ment book was adjusted by the issuing of a corrected warrant.
The balance sheet shows the overlay to have been insufficient to meet abatements granted. A sufficient sum should be provided by the overlay or an appropriation should be made to cover abatements in order to insure sufficient revenue to meet departmental appropriations.
The town hall account was checked to the treasurer's cash book and uncollected bills listed.
The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were checked to the treasurer's cash.
The moth charges are assessed and included in the tax bill.
The records of the health department were checked and compared with the treasurer's cash.
The sewer department accounts were checked and appor- tioned assessments were listed and set up on the accountant's books.
The highway department accounts were checked and com- pared with the treasurer's books and outstanding bills were listed.
The accounts of the overseers of the poor were examined, checked to the treasurer's cash, and outstanding bills listed.
The accounts of the school department were examined, checked to the treasurer's cash, and outstanding accounts listed.
The books and accounts of the municipal light department were examined and checked and a trial balance taken which proved the ledger accounts to be in balance.

The accounts of the cemetery department were checked with the treasurer's cash and outstanding accounts were listed.
381
The indebtedness of the town was listed and set up on the accountant's books.
The trust funds of the town are in the custody of the town treasurer; all cash and securities of the funds were verified and found to be as reported.
The following books and forms were provided for the use of the several departments:
Cash Book for Accountant
Cash Book for Treasurer
Cash Book for Tax Collector Ledger for Accountant
Journal for Accountant
Classification Book for Accountant
Check Register for Treasurer
Treasury Warrants Schedule of Treasury Receipts Schedule of Collector's Payments to Treasurer Schedule of Light Collector's Payments to Treasurer Schedule of Water Collector's Payments to Treasurer Schedule of Departmental Payments to Treasurer Schedule of Light Commitment Schedule of Water Commitment
Schedule of Bills Payable Schedule of Bills Receivable Schedule of Abatements allowed.
All of these books and forms are arranged so as to simplify the reporting and to make possible a proper check on the account- ing of public moneys, also to insure a classification of both re- ceipts and payments which will show the source of receipts and. the purpose of the expenditures.
The accounts in the general ledger are separated and grouped in sections, as follows:
First Assets and Liabilities
Second Revenue Accounts
Third
Appropriation Accounts
Fourth Funded Debt
Fifth Trust Funds
382
From the ledger, information relative to the condition of the several appropriations may readily be obtained and the admin- istrative officers may keep informed of amounts expended, also the amounts available for the balance of the year.
From these accounts, information relative to the actual revenue received, as compared with the estimated amount, will also be shown.
The classification book consists of loose leaf forms with printed headings covering the chief sources from which revenue is received and objects for which money is expended, with blank spaces which allow for additional headings to cover important items that may be desirable.
These sheets are arranged in a classified form that is generally accepted and adopted by accountants and students of municipal affairs.
Provision is made for the recording of the date of the receipts from whom received, and the source. On the payment side will be shown the date of the bill, to whom paid, and the purpose or object of the payment. From this book definite information can readily be obtained of every cash transaction of the town; but its chief object is to furnish classification in a scientific manner, regardless of the method of making appropriations.
The treasury warrant provides for a listing of bills of the several departments. It is submitted to the selectmen together with the bills for their approval, the bills first having been checked by the accountant and compared with the several appropria- tion accounts to which they are chargeable. The selectmen having signed the warrant, it is passed to the treasurer as his authority for payment. The schedules of treasury receipts and payments to the treasurer serve as automatic checks on the cash accounts and furnish the accountant with the necessary information for keeping his accounts up to date at all times, enabling statements to be drawn off showing actual cash trans- actions. By having printed forms for the reporting of all items involving cash, but little time is required in reporting the same.
The schedules of the tax, water, and light collectors' pay- ments to the treasurer are for their reporting both to the treas- urer and to the accountant. From these reports the accountant will credit the collectors' accounts and charge the treasurer's.
383
The schedules of water and light commitments are for the reporting to the accountant of the accounts receivable on account of their respective departments. The collector of each of these departmets is charged with the commitment and credited with amounts collected and paid to the treasurer.
The schedules of bills receivable and bills payable are for the reporting by the several departments to the town accountant.
The schedule of abatements allowed is for the use of the assessors in reporting abatements to the account, so that he may credit the collector with these items in addition to the cash collections reported by him. On the accountant's books the collector is charged with the commitment and credited with collections paid the treasurer; if to this is added abatements allowed, the accountant's ledger will show, in his collector's account, the exact amount of outstanding taxes.
From this brief description of the above-named books and forms it will be seen that the books in the accountant's office can be made to furnish any desired information relative to town financial transactions. All of these accounts are arranged in such form as to admit of clear and concise statements.
The administrative officers can be well informed without consuming any considerable amount of time, being free to devote the greater portion of the time given to public service to the planning of work in developing certain general policies.
While engaged in making the audit and installing the account- ing system, I received hearty co-operation from the several town officials, to all of whom I wish, on behalf of myself and my assistants, to express my appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
