Teledyne Explorations have 24 men working this week, along the road allowance of Highway 83 from the easterly edge of Dashwood to Concession road 8-9. Exploring will continue for a day or two along the sideroad a mile and a quarter south of Highway N. Operator Bill Wilson told the T-A Monday that a new air pressure gun is being used to determine if oil or gas reefs are located in the area. The seismic gun exploration generates an energy signal to an approximate depth of 2,200 feet. Wilson said the air gun is being used in this area instead of dynamite because of the extensive use being made of field tiling by local farmers, The tapes which record the shock waves are taken to the On- tario office of the exploration firm at Oil Springs to determine if further testing is required. The Calgary based firm is the first Canadian company to use an air gun for exploration in Ontario. Three new reefs were located recently in the Oil Springs area. Six of the 24 man recording and survey crews are from Western Canada. The balance come from Oil Springs. Slim Petkau is the par- ty manager. The local explorations are being conducted by the Calgary firm for cities Service Petrolem.

RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE FIGURES Commencing in 1975 the financial statements combine the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the Recrea- tion, Arena and Parks Committee. Accordingly, the 1974 figures on the Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue and Expenditure have been restated to reflect appropriate com- parative figures. This restatement resulted in the closing ac- cumulated net revenue position for 1974 being decreased by $4,- 857. An additional change in presentation has been required in 1975 to reflect deferred charge positions with the County and School Boards as part of accumulated net revenue, The 1974 figures have been restated to reflect a corresponding treatment and this restatement results in accumulated net revenue at the end of 1974 being increased by $977. Other reclassifications of 1974 expenditures have been made to reflect 1974 figures on a basis comparable to 1975. These changes were necessitated because of reclassification of ex- penditures by function which were required by the Province in 1975. Auditor's Report To: The Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the Corporation of the Town of Exeter. We have examined the 1975 financial statements of the Corpora- tion of the Town of Exeter. Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The 1974 financial statements were examined and reported on by other auditors. Disclosure in these financial statements of com- parative information for 1974 relies ,on the information contained in 1974 financial statements and our opinion contained herein does not extend to 1974 information. In our opinion, except for statement 3-3, an analysis of cash flow which has been prepared without audit, these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Corporation of the Town of Exeter as at December 31st, 1975, 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.
