OFFICE OF STATE AUDITOR, AUGUSTA, December 31, 1910.
To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives, in Legislature assembled: In accordance with the provisions of Section 7, of Chapter 147, of the Public Laws of 1907, the Auditor begs to submit to the Legislature a full and accurate statement of the financial condition of the State and of the financial transactions thereof for the two years ending with the thirty-first day of December, 1910. Full tabulations hereinafter show the bonded debt and other liabilities as well as the resources as they existed on January 1, 1909, January 1, 1910, and December 31, 1910.
The net debt of the State on December 31, 1910, was $2,206,460 68 On January 1, 1909, it was 1,054,961 89
"Showing an increase of $1,151,498 79 • in the two years ending with December 31, 1910.
Many of the accounts in the treasury have been running so long and with only crude records that it is a gigantic task to establish their correctness. The Auditor has not been able to reach this work yet and urges that it be done without delay, as it is important that the basis of the accounts and funds be accurate. Accounting in the Auditor's office has been very difficult in deed. The office being a new one, it has not been possible to get the same general classification of expenditures from all de 4 AUDITOR'S REPORT.
partments and institutions. The correspondence necessary to the securing of details of receipts has been large. The verification of payments to the state treasurer, owing to the lack of a general system of reports, has been slow and un satisfactory. An audit of the state treasurer's accounts is worthless unless by some means verification may be had. Any- auditor should be reluctant to certify to the correctness of such accounts with no better facilities than we have at the present time for establishing the accuracy of them. With the exception of the State Prison and State School for Boys, the various institutions and departments are upon a sys tem of accounting which permits the sending of their vouchers through the Auditor's office. The state treasurer however has thus far failed to accede to the Auditor's demand to file the vouchers for his payments with the Auditor in accordance with Section 4 of Chapter 147 of the Public Laws of 1907. It is a fact well recognized by those who have business rela tions with the State that its method of payment is cumbersome and extremely unsatisfactory to the creditor and that it tends to increase cost of nearly everything which the State purchases. There should be no reason why any bill actually due should not be paid promptly when properly authenticated by the same per sons who can do so now only at meetings of the Governor and Council; it adds nothing to the importance of the transaction to delay it until the date assigned for a meeting of the Governor and Council, when owing to the volume of transactions it can. and does have less attention than if taken up in the regular course of business. The functions of the executive council as an auditing or pay ing body are subordinated to other less important matters with the result that millions of dollars are expended annually with no more knowledge of their legality or effectiveness than if they did not affix their names to the Governor's warrant; and yet all important contract engagements calling for the expendi ture of large amounts are delayed and embarrassed awaiting such formal action by the Council. If all payments could be made direct from the State treasury in the regular course of business for the institutions as well as the departments upon authentication by the Auditor and the Governor, many execu AUDITOR'S REPORT. 5 tives offices could be abolished and our administrative expenses reduced. It must be borne in mind that the direct tax assessed in a given year has very little effect upon the revenues of the State treasury for that particular year, for the very good reason that a very large portion of the assessment is made to cover an ex penditure to occur after the first of January the following year; and that the payment of the tax by the towns and the expendi ture by the State Treasurer are merely an exchange of receipts to an extent which very nearly absorbs the entire tax assessed. It is a fact also that the actual revenues of the treasury applicable to ordinary expenditures for the first six months of the year (barring the last ten days in June) will not greatly exceed $300,000.00. When it is taken into account that the ordinary department expenses for that same period will aggregate nearly $1,000,- ooo.co, it is readily seen that the revenues for that period are very far short of the actual expenses. No payment of any description should be made from the State treasury unless the same is authorized by law and an appro priation made therefor; and the transferring and juggling of appropriations should be prohibited. Where appropriations are made for specific fiscal years as at present, it is difficult to en force compliance with specific provisions of law without work ing a harsh injustice through withholding appropriations over a lapsing period. In the absence of any authority of law the Auditor can not make appropriations available after they have lapsed, and thus it sometimes happens that the Auditor is forced to-yield in his requirements and that appropriations have to be paid where compliance with law has not been obtained, because further withholding of the funds means impairment of the main objects of the appropriation. All reports of receipts and expenditures, of any and all branches of the government, which have heretofore been sent to the Governor and Council, should hereafter be filed with the Auditor. It is to be regretted that the public welfare can not be placed above party politics and personal interest. A bill designed to facilitate the financial transactions of the State and to simplify its fiscal affairs was submitted to the judiciary committee of the 6 AUDITOR'S REPORT.
74th Legislature but met opposition from personal interests be cause of fancied grievances and the interests of the people suf fered in consequence. The Auditor very strongly urges the following changes in old laws, and the enactment of new laws affecting payments by the State Treasurer, viz: 1. Repeal of Section 23 of Chapter 2 of the Revised Stat utes, thus removing provisions which are inconsistent with Chapter 147 of the Public Laws of 1907. 2. A provision of law requiring that all moneys or funds coming into the possession of any institution, department, or administrative branch of the government should be promptly- paid into the State treasury under such regulations as the Au ditor may prescribe, and that the payment of all expenses and charges incurred by or on account of such institutions, depart ments, etc., should be paid from the State treasury under such regulations as the Auditor may prescribe. 3. A law or resolve authorizing the adjustment in the trust funds of the Penobscot Indians. A resolve of the last Legis lature appropriated to the Indians for the interest of the in creased fund but made no provision for taking up such increase in the accounts of the State Treasurer or the Auditor. 4. Up to the present time no provision of law appears either granting authority for the acceptance of, or other recognition of the Isaac Sanford trust fund for the deaf, dumb and blind, amounting to $600.00. Provision should be made to apply the interest on that sum annually either to the institutions for the deaf, dumb and blind or authorizing its expenditure under the direction of the Governor and Council. 5. Repeal of Section 46 of Chapter 2 of the Revised Stat utes, relating to the purchase of stationery by the Secretary of State. While the law as it now stands would seem to offer some advantages, its practical application proves the reverse. At present the Secretary of State's department is embarrassed by its operation and all other departments are equally embar rassed, while the loss from over-purchased and unused materials will be large. Much can be saved and greater convenience had by permitting the chiefs of departments to fill their require ments within the limits of their appropriations. AUDITOR'S REPORT. 7
6. Where the statute provides that State officers "shall" per form certain duties, it implies no obligation to perform such duties and incur expenses after an appropriation has been ex hausted or if no appropriation has been made. It quite often happens, however, that where the statute directs the perform ance of certain duties that no appropriation is made or one has become exhausted and thus expense is incurred without proper means of payment; this difficulty may be cured by simple pro vision of law. 7. Neither departments nor State institutions should incur charges for legal services except under the direction of the Attorney General. The location of the several departments should be sufficiently established by law so that further com plication arising from charges by officers for their expenses to and from their homes and their stay at the capitol may be elimi nated. Such law should make it certain that no officer whose place of business is at the capitol shall charge his expenses to and from his home and his stay in Augusta. 8. Under bur present law there is no authority whereby the Auditor may enforce payment to the State Treasurer of funds collected by any department which by the terms of law should be paid over to the State Treasurer. A general law should be enacted which would authorize the Auditor to require sufficient bond of any officer or other person having custody of State funds or property when no other special provision of law exists. 9. The enactment of an embezzlement law which will reach any and all State officers, their clerks, agents or others having custody of State funds or property; and would especially urge the adoption of a provision punishing false entries or the de struction of any documents or records of any kind whatsoever bearing upon the receipt of moneys or payment of the same by such person. The audit of the accounts of the Maine Agricul tural Experiment Station was delayed and embarrassed by reason of the failure of the Director of the said Station to pro duce his records of receipts and expenditures which he stated he had destroyed for a period of five years preceding March 1, 1910. A conference with the Attorney General brought out the fact that we have now no law which will effectually punish a person who destroys those records which are the only evidence of the faithful performance of his duty. We would also recom 8 AUDITOR'S REPORT.
mend that such law be so framed that the Auditor may adminis ter oaths and examine witnesses upon any matters relating to the conduct of any examination or audit by him pursued. 10. A provision of law prohibiting State or county officers whose salaries are fixed by law from drawing any other com pensation for their services from any appropriation not specifi cally made for such salary. n. A feature of our procedure that should receive imme diate attention by law or otherwise is the purchase of property of various kinds and character which is never accounted for afterward. Only the Adjutant General's department has any comprehensive system for the care and accounting of State property. Thousands of dollars are spent annually for prop erty by the various departments where all trace of the same is lost after having been charged to the appropriation. The cus todian of property is no less chargeable for his failure to ac count for its value than if it were so much cash. 12. Under the present law there are only a few instances where the purchase of postage for the departments is author ized. A general law providing the authority for purchase of postage and the payment of expressage, telephone and tele graph expenses should be enacted. 13. Some general law should be provided for limiting and controlling the employment of clerks or other persons by vari ous departments and institutions. 14. A law also should provide that the Secretary of State shall certify to the Auditor all appointments made by the Gov ernor and Council of commissions issued upon elections by the people or the Legislature and where the salaries are required to be certified by the Auditor. 15. The law in relation to f ranchise taxes upon corporations should require payment during the fiscal year of the assessment, and if then unpaid at the end of such fiscal year, should be advertised and declared forfeited if not paid during the suc ceeding fiscal year. If such a provision were a part of the gen eral corporation law it would be notice to new corporations of its full effect. 16. Provision should also be made by law that assignments of claims against the State or any department, institution, com AUDITOR'S REPORT. 9 mission, or board of trustees, should not be effective unless the same are filed with the State Auditor. 17. That Chapter 147 of the Public Laws of 1907 be so amended as to require the Auditor to report annually instead of biennially as at present. Where the biennial period ends Dec. 31st it is a practical impossibility to close the accounts of the last year of the period so as to make report upon the same for the then incoming Legislature. It is noted also that the Auditor's term of office expires by law on the same date that the biennial period closes, thus forcing upon his- successor the duty of pre paring the report required by law. 18. In his last biennial report the Auditor recommended a change in the fiscal year, and while it was admitted to be a de sirable change and one involving a careful study of our financial system, no one cared to assume the task of framing such law and pressing it to final enactment. While the law requires the Auditor to make recommendations for the betterment of the service, it should not be necessary for him to follow up the suggestions and press them to final passage. The Auditor renews his recommendation made in the last biennial report that the termination of the fiscal year should be changed from Dec. 31st to June 30th for all branches of the government. So many reasons can be advanced in support of such action that it hardly seems possible to delay it longer. The various departments and institutions which have given the mat ter attention are a unit in favor of the change. It is not a valid argument against such action to say that it will require an appropriation for two and one-half years as against only two years previously. What may seem to be an objection from a political point of view should not be allowed to interfere with the enactment of a law which will work for the manifest advantage of the State. 19. Reasonable provision should be made by an appropria tion to enable the Auditor to procure extra assistance to review the several funds, as well as to secure a proper audit of the accounts of departments, institutions and commissions formerly entrusted with the expenditure of public moneys. 10 AUDITOR'S RETORT.
