GENERAL
I would like to bring to your attention Section 302 of
the Municipal Act Which outlines the types of securities in
which surplus funds may be invested. The investment of
surplus waterworks funds in Sterling Trust Certificates and
Town of Clinton debentures does not comply with this sec-
tion of the Act.
The Secretary-Treasurer of the Clinton Separate School.
Board is not bonded as required by Section 46 of the Schools
Administration Act.
I would like to thank Mr. John Livermore and the other
employees of the Town of Clinton with whom I deal in the
course of our audit for their kind co-operation.
