TOWNSHIP OF TURNBERRY
AUDITORS' REPORT FOR 1963
AUDITORS' REPORT
25th February, 1964.
The Reeve, Councillors and Ratepayers.
Township of Turnberry,
Bluevale, Ontario.
Gentlemen:
We have completed our audit of the books and accounts
of the Township of Turnberry for the year ending 31st Decem-
ber, 1963. and have prepared the attaehed financial statements
of the municipality.
The operations for the year resulted in a surplus of $4,-
769.87. When this is added to the accumulated surplus as at
1st January, 1963, of $19.754.96 the resultant balance of surplus
as at 31st December. 1963. is $24,524.83. The yearly estimates
were not prepared in such a manner to comply with Section
297 of the Municipal Aet and we therefore cannot complete that
portion of Schedule D.
The Residential and Farm School Tax Assistance Grants
Aet 1960-61 provides that the tax rata levied for school purposes
on residential and farm assessments in the municipality shall be
only 90 percent of the rate levied for such purposes on the com-
mercial assessments in the same municipality. We would ask
that this act be followed in computing the mill rate for the
Wingham District High School in 1964.
Subject to the qualifications concerning the failure to pre-
pare a budget as prescribed by Section 297 of the Municipal
Act and to reduce the residential high school rate in accordance
with the Residential and Farm School Tax Assistance Grants
.Act 1960-61. we hereby report:
(1) The financial transactions which have come under our
notice have been within the powers of the municipality.
(21 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 31st December, 1963,
and the results of its operations for the year ended
on that date,
We have appreciated the co-operation which we have re-
ceived from your township officials.
Respectfully submitted,
MONTEITH, MONTEITH & CO.,

CLI PPThOS
BY I. M. FLATT
Practice No. 16, Town I iall,
April 21. Twenty-three singers
were in attendance and every
one of them signed the inescap-
able red tape in order to be-
come full-fledged members of
S, P. E. B. S. Q. S. A. Inc. Many
of the boys were starting to
wonder whether "chartering"
would be completed this year
but are now soothed a little as
the wheels are turning and ev-
erything should be wrapped up
before the end of May. The
chorus practice has suffered be-
cause of the many events we
have attended and we really
havn't been "at home" too
much this spring.

At smoke break, it was de-
cided to sing at the Presbyterian
Church (near Lochalsh) on May
17 for the evening service at
'7.30. This will be an anniver-
sary service and we are delight-r-
ed
elightred that we will help to cele-
brate this milestone in the com-
munity. It is hoped that we
will have our full chorus out to
this one. Harry Chapman in-
formed the group that the Kin-
cardine Comm. Sing commit-
tee would like to have our ser-
vices for their outdoor sing-
song in July and August. The
executive feels that we could
possibly attend the first and
last outings, July 5 and August
30. It is also hoped that as
many as possible will be signed
up for chartering by May 2 as
the documents are being taken
to Toronto by the boys attend-
ing the convention and thereby
speed up the red tape. If you
haven't signed when you read
this, and want to have your
name on the list of charter
members, get in touch with any
of the executive and they will
help you. We sure would like
to see everyone with "good" in-
tentions to make it in time.

Anyone attending the work-
shop in Listowel must have been
impressed by the rnethods and
the personality of Bob Johnson
of Kenosha, Wisconsin. We are
sure the lessons learned there
are going to be a big help to
our group for a long time to
come.
The Lucknow quartet is very
active these days and has added
a new twist to Barbershopping.
Recently, while performing at
a function, the local railroad
obliged with a clear, unmis-
takable "toot", at the precise
moment when the boys sang
"the whistle blew" during a
splendid rendition of Bill Gro-
gan's Goat. This is one for the
books and all Barbershoppers
will be notified, in due time
(as soon as I can stop laughing).
