The Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen Of The City of Wichita Falls,Tcxas, Wichita Falls, Texas, Gentlemen:- Having completed the audit authorized by you of the financial affairs of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1917, and ending March 31, 1918, I beg to offer the following report of my findings there in made: CITY TAX COLLECTOR'S DEPARTMEN' The records of this department show that during the fiscal year April 1,1917, to March 31,1918, the following collections were made, to-wit: Auto Licenses 35.00 Bicycle Licenses 24.00 Dog Licenses 176.05 Pound Fees 366.00 Sewer Rents 13735.30 Taxes: Advalorem-All City Funds 57284.64 Advalorem-Int.& Sink. 26736.65 84021.29 Occupation 7171.75 Total, 105529.39 The Cash-Book of the City Treasurer and the receipts issued by him show that all of above collections were paid over to him by H.F.Robertson, Collector. The only error ' found in this department were the incorrect distribution of the Interest & Sinking Fund collection among the various funds during several months duration and the entering of Receipt No.1184 as $1.08 when the assessed tax shows same to have been $1.18. The discrepencies in above mentioned distributions were small but I have made all necessary corrections in same. With these exceptions I found this department in its usual accurate condition. CITY CLERK'S DEPARTMENT The records of this department show that during the fiscal year the following col- lections were made, to-wit: n General Fund: Auto fee returned 7.70 Hose sold 20.00 House rent 641.00 Pump and furniture sold 41.35 Wiring inspection 604.55 1314.60 Park Fund: Cemetery lots sold 465.00 Sewer Fund: Dirt and stone sold 164.97* Destroying stock 86.30 Hauling trash 850.85 Reid,Dr.J.F. Refund 52.50 Rent dump ground 20.00 Sanitary fees 5310.10 Tests and permits 50.50 Refund-Jim Ellis 13.50 6548.72 Street Fund: Fines collected 7042.25 Mules sold 275.00 7317.25 St.Improve.Fund: Blocks sold 6.00 R.D.Moxley settlement 50.00 W.F.Traction Co. 335.00 391.00 Total, 16038.57 Above item of $164.97 indicated by * properly belongs in receipts of Street Improve- sent Fund and is so accounted herein. All of above collections have been by the 1 City Clerk paid over to the City Treasurer as shown by Treasurer's Receipts and Cash-Book entries. The work of this department for the year has been uniformly correct and with the exception of some errors in the Warrant Record the work has i been handled in an exceptional manner, In this connection I desire to offer the following suggestion: Heretofore the Warrant Register has been totaled and closed at the end of each month. As a result of this practice it has been necessary to run back over each months totals and compile same in order to arrive at the amount spent for any one particular branch of the city work up to the time the information is desired. I would suggest that the City Clerk carry every months totals into a Recapitulation Form and this will gitre all totals for the entire period desired up to the first of each month. In this connection I desire to express my thanks to J.W.Walkup, City Clerk, for valuable assistance rendered me in a portion of this year's work. POLICE DEPARTMENT The Cash-Book of this department shows that during the fiscal year fines to the amount of $7042.25 were collected and turned over to the City Clerk as shown in the statement of his account. This amount has been verified by your auditor by a careful check of the collections reported against the trial docket, upon which is shown the judgment in and disposition of each case tried. This check, however,con- firms only one fact and to the effect that all fines reported by the Police Depart.. ment as collected have been delivered to the City Clerk. As an additional safe- guard to the city I suggested last year that the City Marshal be required to make affidavit to the accuracy of each month's report submitted by his department.This suggestion was adopted, an affidavit stamp prepared and the Cash-Book arranged for j its use but during the past year not one monthly statement has been sworn to by the City Marshal or any one for him. There is room here for fraud and I again sug- gest the enforcement of this ruling. The records of this department for the past year have been kept in the best manner I Have found in the number of years I have been doing the city work and same reflects credit upon the officers in charge of same. TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT The records of this department have been kept in a thoroughly accurate manner for the past year with the following exceptions: In the distribution of Receipt No. 1336 Park Interest & Sinking Fund is erroneously credited with $501.85 instead of 1 $501.25 and in Receipt No.1366 the apportionments made to the various Interest & Sinking Funds exceeds the total amount of the receipt by .09 .These two errors aggregate 69 cents and the Treasurer's Fund Accounts were that much out of balance with his bank balance. These errors and all others pertaining to the Treasurer' s records have been by me corrected upon his Cask-Book and same is now kn accurate balance with the bank account. I found further that the interest due the various Interest & Sinking Funds of the city from other city Interest & Sinking Funds had not been entered and have, therefore, made these entries also. MAYOR'S DEPARTMENT From the records of the City Treasurer I find that the Hon. A.H.Britain Mayor, collected during the year for Street Improvement purposes the sum of $9216.34 2 and from the proceeds of Cemetery Bonds sold the further sum of $15855,54, all of which has been by him deposited to the credit of the City Treasurer. In this connection I desire to state that all money collected by Mr. Britain during his entire tenure of office has been fully checked by me during this audit. All col- lections reported by him for Street Improvement purposes have been checked against the original estimates furnished by the City Engineer, bank deposit slips and Treas- urer's Cash-Book entries and same have been found to be correct in every particular. An itemized report of these collections has been submitted by Mr. Britain, same has been approved by the Board of Aldermen and is now on file in the office of the City Clerk. On this day Mr. Britain delivered to F.C.Barron, City Treasurer, Interest & Sinking Fund Bonds owned by the city in the sum of $23000.00, U.S. Liberty Loan Bonds in the sum of $18550.00 and all cancelled bonds belonging to the city as set out in the itemized statement contained in Exhibit C,Schedule 2 herein. This transfer of above bonds was made in my presence and a receipt issued by Mr. Barron to Mr. Britain, which receipt is duly attested by two witnesses. FUND ACCOUNTS Under Exhibit A, Schedules 1 to 8, inclusive, are shown itemized statements of the receipts and disbursements for the year in the Operating or Available Funds of the City. Under Exhibit B, Schedules 1 to 19, inclusive., will be found itemized ) statements of all receipts and disbursements in the various Interest & Sinking Funds for the fiscal year and your attention is directed thereto for more com- plete information relative to same. RECAPITULATION OF ALL FUNDS Under Exhibit C, Schedule 1, is shown a recapitulation of all receipts, expend- itures, balances and overdrafts in all of the city funds for the fiscal year. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS Under Exhibit C,Schedule 2 herein, is shown a complete history of the Bonded In- debtedness of the city, giving the various bond issues made, their original and present amount, bonds owned by the city and such other facts as are pertinent to the matter. Your especial attention is directed thereto for full information rel- ative to same. For the convenience of your City Treasurer in checking the interest payments as same mature I have prepared a copy of this statement for his use. FINANCIAL STATEMENT Under Exhibit D, Schedule 1, will be found a complete statement of the assets and liabilities of the city as same existed March 31,1918. This statement should be prove of especial interest to the tax-payers of the city as it will give them a comprehensive idea of the manner in which their funds have been handled and the results derived therefrom during the past eight years especially. In this con- nection I desire to state that the valuations placed upon the various city prop- erties herein shown were furnished me by your honorable body and the itemized lists from which my statement ie compiled is now on file in the office of the City Clerk subjest to the inspection of any one interested. The showing made in this statement is one that should be very gratifying not only to the officers who 3 have so ably administered our municipal affairs but to every tax-payer of the ,5 city and to all others interested in the improvement of the city and the efficient management of its affairs. Under Morandum A is shown an itemized list of all city warrants issued after April 1,1917, and outstanding March 31,1918. Your attention is directed thereto for the purpose of confirming the totals of such warrants shown in the various fund re- ports herein. Your attention is further directed to the list of warrants outstand- ing April 1,1917, which have been paid since for confirmation of the amounts of same shown innthe various fund reports herein. This latter list will be found in my report of May 7,1917, now embodied in your Minutes in the office of the City Clerk. ADDENDUM In closing I beg to offer my sincere thanks to the various officers whose depart- ments I have examined for their uniform courtly extended my assistants and myself and for the valuable assistance rendered me by them in compiling this work. In the event that you should desire more detailed information relative to any department or item than is herein shown I shall be glad to take the wetter up with you in person at your convenience.
