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., Chartered Accountants. License No. 2511.

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. 3--0--0 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. 0--0--0 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). s OVERNIGHT FREIGHT SERVICE We haul to and from Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchen- er, London, Stratford and Woodstock.
