REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my annual report of financial transactions of the Town of Southbridge for the year ending December 31, 1924.
The system of accounting has been carried out as in the previous years under the direction of the Division of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxations.
During the year I have had printed special triplicate forms for every department to use whenever a bill is rendered. One of these to be retained by department who renders same, one is the bill, the other to come to my department. The reason for this is because I have set up the accounts receivable for various departments. These forms have proven very satisfactory to the department heads who have used them. I request that all departments make use of same.
I also request all departments to use the duplicate order forms that I have had printed, in doing so it will save a great deal of un- necessary correspondence.
In closing I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our various town departments for their hearty co-operation and assistance rendered during the year.
Respectfully,
VALMORE P. TETREAULT,
Accountant.
