Owns, Clerks Provincial Auditor, To the Editor 0f Tne POST : As there is a Bill before the Legislature now for the appointment of an officer to be known as The Provincial Municipal Auditor, whose duties shell be the audit Municipal and School amounts, I tbiuk now is the time to express our opinions about the Act. While I think Auditors who undertake and are appointed are not in many oases capable of doing the work or else do not do it properly, and the many oases each year of Treasurers moving to Uno1e Sam's domains leaving sorrowing bandana and taxpayers as well (the last ease in the County of Brant where the lato Treasurer is nearly $25,1100 short in his accounts) may be good reasons for taking some each motion, I think the one for the Province would be altogetber too expensive. Tho rate- payers of MoKillop a few years ago re- quested an investigation by a professional auditor and it cost within a few conte of $800, and the municipality gained nothing by it. The only thing of impotnanoe it did show was that the Auditors reported for four years all the municipal fund invested, while there was from $800 to $2,000 not invested iu the Treasurer's hands and the interest on this amount was made up out of the goudal funds for the schools, and another yea0 where the Council borrowed $1,000 while there was no need of it, This Auditor is to reoeivo a large tallLry and devote hie whole time. He is to direct the number aid kind of booko all Treasurers are to keep. Mom. bers should know enough with the num. bsr of Lawyers and Editors in the House to make a form at end of the Act, Sec- tion 2 (d) Auditor ix to say whether no - counts of munioipalities and soloals be audited by Mnniaioipal Auditors or by r0005 appointed by him or by himself. action 8 provides these rules shall have e force of law and provides penalties for e same. Section 8 gives the Auditor Charity at any time on 111s own motion audit any municipalities a000nnts and ols5. These era too many powers to ant an auditor making a living by it. otion 10 oompele all Treasurers to tify suoh Auditor within five days for his appointment. Many newly ap• anted Treasurers would not there a such an ant. Section 17 would in - oats that Treasurers oonld deoosib nova in Private Beaks 00 Ocmpanys, is is a mistake. Section 18 aompele mortgagee ore Perseus liable for pay. nts of debts to notify the tread of the unioipallty on the 31st Deo, in every as of the belittle due by him. This uld bo hard to do if the municipality shed to keep money invested in mart. es. As Counties have n largo amount money and debentures to enchant for 6 year, and C0ttnby Treasm•ere in 1115 have been no better than Township 500urere, Thy Gdvernmeut might appoint tee Auditors for each County twoutyone prisoners now in jail only two and Dns of thee° with 000 appointed by are from the County of Huron, The local mnnicipatiby audit all local mown ots others aro scattered all over the aonntry and suhnnl boards, and make their front Ilallifax to Coiliugwood.
