Auditor's Report
To: The Members of Council, Inhabitants and
Ratepayers of the Corporation of the
Village of Lucan
We have examined the 1973 financial statements of the Cor-
poration of the Village of Lucan. Our examination included a
general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of
accounting records and other supporting evidence as we con-
sidered necessary in the circumstances,
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Corporation of the Village of Lucan as
at December 31, 1973, and the results of their operations for the
year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted for Ontario municipalities applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding year.

Recently while in the east
visiting a Legion Branch I was
requested to bring the following
to the attention of our readers.
There is a young lady in the city
of Kingstowwhois going. blihd, at
the present time her parenWare
trying to keep this fact from her
that she might continue having a
happy time even for the short
sight time she has remaining. In
the meantime the parents are
making all preparations possible
prior to the young lady becoming
completely blind.
Apparently there is a place
where they can obtain a ,seeing

pounds of cigarette tinfoil.
If you are interested in helping
this unfortunate person then-
please foward your tinfoil to Mrs.

hand if you would care to drop
your collected tinfoil into Branch
