VOL. 13—NO. 3 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAR AUDIT OF CITY REFLECTS SOUND MANAGEMENT An audit of the City of New berry from October 1, 1949 to March 31, 1950 (three months of which was under the man agerial government) shows the city to he in excellent finan cial condition and holds prom ise of continued financial sta bility. With all liabilities in current condition a surplus of $21,830.16 was shown as of March 31st. During the first three months of the year the City repaid 20,- 000 borrowed by the former ad ministration which was paid out of 1950 revenues and should be considered in the overall show ing of the new administration. But for this debt the surplus as of March 31st would have been $41,830.16. Revenues for the balance of the year is expected to at least cover expenditures so that the city will begin its next fiscal year with a surplus. This means that there will be no borrowing to tide the city over until tax collections and possibly no dis count to the mills for early pay ment. In short, the city will be on a pay-as-you-go basis in a few more months. The audit, made by J. W. Hunt & Co. is in very much detail and shows that the city now has a system of book keeping for each department shewing to whom and for What purpose every dollar goes. This is broken down into tedious de tail but leaves no room for hid den expenditures. Every cent received is accouned for in de tail, and likewise every cent expended. A copy of the audit is on file at City Hall and any citizen is at liberty to inspect it. It is a document which should be stud ied by all citizens interested in good government.
