* present book is used up. Individual!
1 ledgers as now used, die genera! ledgr
and a cross entry journal. I'm
1 There should be accounts kept I wn
with all receipts and disbursements S1J|
so that a trial balance and statement
'' may be bad by drawing oft' balances ...
11 as shown by ledger.
1 All payments should b? made by
s check. Sullicienl funds for defraying
sundry little expenses should be '
kept in Ihe safe, and when this-fund
becomes exhausted Ihe vouchers for I
^ its disbursement shou'ld be "o. k'd" 'lf)
' and a check drawn t/o "petty cash" w'
should be made lo cover. <"
I 1 woubl respect fully urge that 111:1
some ellicient system of accounting
be inaugurated for, with the the Cl'
present system, il is impossible to
j make a correct showing of the business
of the plant and th.'uv is no
check upon the receipts and disburse- w|
' men Is of cash. The vouchers as I have ;{ (
