To: The Members of Council, and Ratepayers of the Corpora-
tion of the Township of Usborne
We have examined the 1976 financial statements of the Cor-
poration of the Township of Usborne which are listed on the at-
tached Index. 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.
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Corporation of the Township of
Usborne as at December 31, 1976, and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, in accordance with accoun-
ting principles generally accepted for Ontario municipalities
applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
