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, 1923.
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 Taxation.
You will notice by the balance sheet that I have set up the ac- counts receivable from the various departments, and I am having printed at the present time special triplicate forms for every depart- ment to use whenever a bill is rendered, one of these is to be re- tained by the department who rendered same, one is the bill and the other to come to my department. In former years I have asked the department to have all bills contracted in the name of the Town of Souhbridge and not to Chairman or Clerk of Boards or Committees, this year if any such bills are presented to me I will hold them and request that a proper bill is rendered before I list same on the war- rant for payment.
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.
