figures on June 8, 1912 Many DIFF
iiculties, mainly the question OF
manpoWer, interviewed and delayed
the l941 report, but II Is the belief
OF the firm that these have now
been considerably overcome and the
1912 report can be forthcoming
within q more reasonable period
Merger Asked
AS in its last reports, Barrow,
Wade and Guthrie again recon-
mend the merger OF the elective Of
fees OF City Controller and Treas
urer, maintaining the former elm
mating the latter.
This was one OF six suggestions
under the heading OF charter revi-.
sions. Further use OF the electrical
accounting machines within such
departments as are required TO 90
considerable bookkeeping, billing,
etc, Is also asked for.
Three changes with regard 70
handling of city money are also
suggested, such as creation OF the
special deposit fund provided for IN
the charter amendments OF 1883;
daily forwarding Of all collections
to the City Treasurer; and discon-
tinuance OF the revolving funds
within the Park and Education De-
partments for operation OF cafe
terias, recreation centers, etc.
Disbursements Checked
The report also devotes consider
able attention TO disbursements and
the methods now In force relative
to signing OF vouchers by depart
ment heads In their own writing;
by the vendor with both company
title and signature; providing the
Comptroller's Office with an author
lied list OF departmental personnel
who may sign receiving slips; and
several changes In the method Of
maintaining payroll records.
Definite recommendation on the
present operation OF various Offices
or failure to comply In some In
stances are also made with respect
to the Collector OF Taxes, Corpora
ton Counsel, Board OF Aldermen,
City Treasurer. City Controller
Bureau of Streets, Police Depart
ment, Park Department, Plumbing
Inspector and Bronson Library
Fund.
Closing out OF the sidewalk con-
struction fund into the General
Fund Is also suggested by the re-
port, as well as an appraisal Of the
city's real and personal property for
insurance purposes.
Adjustments Sought
In outlining the scope OF It's ex-
animation Barrow, Wade and
Guthrie state that the books Of the
City OF Waterbury were never ad-
justed nor journal entries made TO
conform with the report OF the au-
ditors on the year 1910. The same Is
requested In the current report and
the proper journal entries 10 In
clude both this report and the pre-
vious one are included. The firm
states that a verbal opinion has
been submitted by the Corporation
Counsel that these adjustments
should be approved by the proper
government boards as q matter OF
good business practice"
