REPORT OF CITY
AUDITOR FOR
MUNICIPAL YEAR

Following is the report in part of
the city auditor, Mrs. Harriet l..
Holmes. for the past municipal year.
The complete itemized report will APP
pear in the annual city report which
will be off the press very shortly.
From the summary of receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
January 81, 1924. it will be noted that
there is an overdraft of s16.200.51.
This deficit occucrs largely in the
appropriations of schools and abate-
ments. On account of the extra teach
ers and other necessary expenses in
CURED in opening the new junior high
school and in the general reimbursement
of the school syste mthere is an over
draft in the school appropriation of
$9099.S9.
1t will be remembered that one year
ago the State board of assessors made
an increase in Watervilles valuation
of 81, 900. 900 and the local board of as
SCISSORS found it necessary to make a
revaluation of all of the city property
in order to meet this increase. After
their assessment was completed and
the commitment made, it was found
necessary to make certain adjustments
in the valuation. thereby causing an
overdraft in the attachments appro-
priation of s6209.64.
