We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation of the Township of Biddulph as at December 31, 1978. and the consolidated statements of revenue and expen- diture and capital operations, for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standard', and accordingly included such tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion. these consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Corporation of the Township of Biddulph as at December 31, 1978, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accor- dance with accounting principles generally accepted for On- tario municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of the previous year.
