All moneys received by any town officer or de- partment, except as otherwise provided by special acts and except fees provided for by statute, shall be paid by such officer or depart- ment upon their receipt into the town treasury. Any sums so paid into the town treasury shall not later be used by such officer or department without a specific appropriation thereof, except that sums allotted to towns for highway pur- poses by the commonwealth or a county, which shall be used only for the purposes specified by
-92-
the officials making the allotment or to meet temporary loans issued in anticipation of such allotment as provided in section six or six A, shall be available therefor without any appro- priation.
All payments should be made by the town treasurer in accordance with Section 56, Chapter 44, General Laws, as quoted previously, and in accordance with Section 35, Chapter 41, General Laws, which reads, in part, as follows :
The town treasurer . .... shall receive and take charge of all money belonging to the town, and pay over and account for the same accord- ing to the order of the town or of its author- ized officers. No other person shall pay any bill of any department
The surety bonds given by the treasurer and the tax collector for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. The town clerk's bond was in the form of a continuation certificate, and I would therefore recommend that a new bond be is- sued annually.
The savings bank books and securities in the custody of the selectmen, the town treasurer, the State treasurer, and the Plymouth Five Cents Savings Bank, represent- ing the investment of the trust funds, were personally examined and found to be correct.
In checking the cemetery perpetual care funds it was found that it has been the custom for the cemetery trus- tees to expend the appropriation made by the Town and if the appropriation became exhausted to draw from the sev- eral funds a sufficient amount to provide for the balance necessary. Although work has been done on these funded lots and paid out of the Town appropriation, the trustees have neglected to draw annually the amount charged against these lots to reimburse the treasury, thus allow- ing these funds to accumulate. In 1925 the cemetery
-93-
trustees withdrew $1,525.43 from nine individual funds, which sum represented an accumulation of income of sev- eral years. Income should be withdrawn as needed to defray expenditures on the various perpetual care lots, allowing the balance of income to accumulate as a re- serve for unforeseen expenses in connection with the in- dividual lots.
Appended to this report is a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the Town as of September 29, 1926.
For the co-operation received and the courtesies ex- tended by the several Town officials while engaged in the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Examiner.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
For the year ending December 31, 1926
Plymouth, Mass., February 24, 1927.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Town of Plymouth.
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith a report of the financial transactions of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1926.
This is arranged in the same general order as in past years.
Schedule A. shows the receipts and payments for the year from Jan. 1, to Dec. 31, classified in accordance with the specifications of the Division of Accounts.
Schedule B. is the detailed account of the several appropriations, showing the amounts appropriated at, Town Meetings, additions to same, payments, and dis- position of any balance.
Schedule C. is a statement of the Estimated Receipts.
The charges are the amounts which were used by the Assessors in fixing the 1926 tax rate.
The credits show the amounts actually received from the respective sources.
Schedule D. The Revenue Account for the year 1926.
Schedule E. Complete list of the unexpended appro- priation balances transferred to Excess and Deficiency.
Schedule F. Balance Sheet, January 1, 1927, of all ledger accounts.
Schedule G. Summary of the Outstanding Indebted- ness (Bonds) showing debt at the beginning of the year, amounts of new loans made during the year, amounts
-101-
paid, and principal and interest requirements for 1927.
Schedule H. Detailed statement of outstanding in- debtedness, giving the particulars of each bond issue.
Schedule I. List of all Trust Funds not including the January, 1927, dividends.
An audit of the books and accounts of the Town was made during October and November by Examiners from the Division of Accounts of the Commonwealth. Report of this audit appears in this annual town report.
This being the first time that an audit has been made since 1912, when the State system of accounting was adopted by the Town, there naturally are some changes in this system which are now brought to our attention and must be adopted.
The most radical change, and the only one that it is necessary to explain, is the institution of Departmental Revenue Accounts in the Accountant's ledger, with the several departments which under ordinary conditions have outstanding bills receivable. The Health, Highway, Poor, School, and Cemetery Departments will come with- in this regulation. Bills and accounts of these depart- ments have heretofore only entered into the accounting as cash receipts. They are now to be reported to the Ac- countant and carried as Assets not available until col- lected. The outstanding accounts of the Water Depart- ment are also classed in the same way and not as we have always shown them as Assets constituting a part of the Reserve (Excess and Deficiency) .
As an indication of the great increase in the financial affairs of the Town, during the fifteen years since the Accounting Department was instituted, I show below the totals of the lists of appropriations on the annual town meeting warrants for 1912; this year (1927) ; and the year 1919 which is the nearest intermediate year.
Total appropriations on warrant for 1912, $240,000.00 Total appropriations on warrant for 1919, 392,000.00 Total appropriations on warrant for 1927, 805,000.00
-102-
The number of bills and pay-rolls passing through the Town Accountant's and Town Treasurer's Departments, while not increasing in the same proportion as the above amounts, has nearly doubled in the period mentioned.
No department has reported any unpaid bills of 1926.
There is, however, something in the nature of a double assessment necessary for Soldiers' Benefits. Payments on these accounts (State Aid, Military Aid, Soldiers' Re- lief) have heretofore been made as required, and the total overdrafts covered by an appropriation in the fol- lowing annual town meeting, and by using the reimburse- ment from the State. This is no longer allowed.
An appropriation must be made in advance in the same manner as for all other departments. Reimbursement from the State for State and Military Aid will now go into the general receipts.
Respectfully submitted,
ELMER R. HARLOW,
Town Accountant.
