REPORT of the TOWN ACCOUNTANT 1943

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In accordance with Chapter 41, Section 61 of the General Laws, I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1943, arranged as follows :
Detailed acounts of all moneys received by the town as classified in ac- cordance with the requirements of the Division of Acounts of the State.
Details of all departmental accounts showing the appropriations, trans- fers, expenditures and balances. The expenditures are classified in accordance with the requirements of the Division of Accounts.
A balance sheet as of December 31, 1943, showing debit and credit balances on all open ledger accounts.
It is always a satisfaction to report an unexpended balance in our annual budget. By careful management throughout the year by all departments we had an unexpended balance of $10,282.17. There was also a surplus in Es- timated Receipts of $17,195.55. These two balances have been added to the Excess and Deficiency account giving us the largest surplus in the history of the town. The cash balance at the end of the fiscal year, December 31, 1943, was $64,247.97. This is also a new record.
The year 1943 was the first one in over thirty years that the Cash surplus was so large the town did not have to borrow during the year in anticipation of revenue. This is a record the citizens of the town may well be proud of. In addition our tax rate was reduced for the eighth consecutive year and is now the lowest it has been since 1924.
Credit should be given to the Town Collector for the excellent work done by that department. The outstanding taxes are less than they have been for a number of years and the town ranks sixth in the state in the collection of taxes. In addition the tax titles amount to only $139.51. This is a new low.
I wish to express my thanks to your Board, each and every Town Depart- ment and all townspeople for the helpful cooperation I have received during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE GIBNEY HARADEN
Town Accountant.
