Likewise it was difficult to check a classification of all disbursements due to the absence of records to indicate the classifi cation. "It was necessary for my staff ' and me to spend considerable (ex tra time to balance the Genera* Ledger which opening entries were not in balance, and with certain other dlscrbpency in post ings, etc. "Taxes created a large amount of unnecessary work because the method of handling the tax col lections, releases, discoveries. etc. is not in conformity with best ac counting methods and procedures. It is not advisable to make chan ges in the tax receipt books after the scroll has been completed. Any adjustments and changes j should be handled through a met hod of normal adjustment by [journal entry, Issuance of releas es and discoveries and other man* jrier of correction. I have suggest led that your Tax Collector confer with the Tax Collector of Cleve land County to ascertain the met hod and procedure for tax re cords. We found many changes in the tax receipts and in the origi nal scroll and it created much confusion in determining the cor rect accountability for taxes. It was necessary for us to make I some Journal adjustments in all 'years to balance the tax receipt j books with the controls. "Ail items of billings, tax char iges and all collections in connec tion with various revenues should I clearly Ik? stamped as 'to date of i original charge and date of all {collections.

"Water and Light (Utilities> I Accounts had no indication of j. laving been balanced with the I control, however, the detailed re j -ords were substantially correct w(th the controls, "Your attention is called to the requirement that all Bonc^ monies am required to be spent for the purpose of the issue and that these expenditures or disburse ments be kept separate from oth er Capital monies. "Powell Bill money is also re quired to be spent for street pur poses as indicated in the Powell Bill. "There Is no Internal control | over purchases of goods and ma terials I recommend that a ays i tern of Purchase orders be creat ed so that all Items can be traced to the City's itsfc or consumption, that It will establish conservation in the use of goods consumed; ; and the financial responsibility of I the City for payment of the obll ! gat ions. The Purchase order sys j tem If properly executed will re quire all invoices to bear the i purchase order number and give , t he Treasurer an opportunity to determine tht> obligation to be ipaid. All invoices to the City are | required to include an inscription i properly sworn to, that the ser vices or tnaterials have been fur nished and that the account has not been paid, in conformity with I the State laws. i "During the course of the audit we ascertained that of the 33 books for meter violations con taining 1,650 citations, that only 272 were paid, a percent of 16.11%. Large numbers of tickets werie marked cancelled without ulate, or purpose, or authority for cancellation. "The meter collections were handled very loosely. There was no way to confirm the accuracy of tlie receipts from' this sourcfe and there was evidence which a rose to indicate that all monies had not been accounted for, be l<v~'ng to City revenue.
