The taxes receivable were not balanced as at December 31, 1963. Debenture debt charges in the amount of $591.84 were paid •for by the Township, but not shown as additions on the Tax Collector's roll in 1963. Taxes were not charged to the Bell Telephone Company for public school tax rates on lines that the Clerk Treasurer did not know what schools to which they were applicable. ' Fidelity Bonds have been examined for only those Treasurers of the School Boards that are listed on schedule No. 20; and therefore, it is presumed that the remaining Treasurers are not Bonded. The Bank Loan• appears to 'be in excess of the amount allowed by the Municipal Act, The 1962 Deficit was not included in the 1963 Budget as required by the Municipal Act. There are many sundry accounts receivable for grader charges and materials sold by the Township, some accounts dating back to 1961 that have not been collected. Where possible, these accounts should be added to the Collector's Roll; 'and if this is not possible, then an effort should be made to collect them directly. AUDITOR'S OPINION 'Subject to the following qualifications, I hereby report that in my opinion, (1) The financial transactions which have come under my notice have been within the powers of the Municipality. (2) The Audit has been conducted in 'accordance with the instructions of the Department of Municipal Affairs. (3) The financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Municipality as at December 31, 1963, and the results of its operations for the year ended on that date. (Signed) A. M.
