Report of Town Accountant
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :- Gentlemen :-
In presenting my report for the year ending December 31, 1920, I will say the system of accounting has been carried out as in the previous years as installed by the Bureau of Statistics of Massachusetts.
As for suggestions I would ask that all Boards and Committees who contract bills for the Town to have same billed to the Town of Southbridge and to the proper depart- ment, and not the Chairmen or Clerks of the Boards or Committees. If this is complied with, it will save a great deal of correspondence. The same careful scrutiny of all bills is maintained as in former years. A number of bills for 1920 are held over, as they did not reach us until after the closing of 1920 accounts.
Many of these bills might have been presented, as some of . the departments had sufficient balance to meet the same, while other departments had reached the limit of their ap- propriations. Therefore it was necessary to hold their bills until this year.
A few of our merchants hold their bills too long, and I am of the opinion if they were filed with each department more promptly, delayed payment would be avoided and would be of great assistance to the several departments.
In closing I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our various town departments for their hearty cooperation and assistance rendered during the year.
Respectfully,
VALMORE P. TETREAULT,
Town Accountant.
