Cost of Municipal Government in Massachusetts
A summary of Charles F. Gettemy’s findings in the first annual report on municipal costs. It calls for divorcing Boston and Suffolk county accounts, notes accounting defects, and proposes Dec 31 as the ideal fiscal year end. Boston 1906 figures show $16.18 million in current expenses and a per capita $26.29, with total debt near $98 million. The report analyzes metropolitan park costs, separating district and non district expenditures and highlighting major shares attributed to Boston within the metropolitan system.

Centralized financial control urged by Chief Gettemy
The chief calls for all municipal financial dealings to pass through a single treasurer and be recorded in his books. Department expenses should align with recapitulations. Trust funds should be managed by a common board. He proposes separating Boston and Suffolk County finances and repealing annual asset liability returns. A uniform fiscal year is urged to enable comparable financial data.
