The Post Letter Box
To the Editor of The Post,
Dear Sir:
In a recent issue of The Post
there appeared the Financial State-
ment of the Village of Brussels for
the year 1925; in it was a statement
of the receipts arid expenditures from
January 1st to November 303.31. 1925
of the Hydro -Electric System. The
total of receipts was $11,$ 12.0 0, and
the total expenditures, $1 0,9 0 2.0 0.
In the receipts was an item of 95,520
for street lighting for sixteen months.
Now this item would indicate that the
Village had not paid its lighting for
1 9 2 4 until sonie thee. in 1925. The
difference between income and ex-
penditure showed a balance on hand
of $40 0,0 9 and this sum was proudly
referred to as a surplus, on the even-
ing of the nomination meeting.
I notiee in looking over the ex-
penditures that September is the last
month on which payment has been
made to the Hydro -Electric Commis-
sion, and as this statement purposes
to show all business up to November
Oth, it is quite evident there is no
i surplus as the system is owing the
Hydro -Commission for two month's
current,
The Hydro -Commission's charges
have averaged for the first nine
months of 1 9 2 6, something over $530
a month; thie would make $1,160 for
two months, with only $40 9.0 9 with
which to pay the bill; yet this is par-
aded as a surplus.
I also notice that the Finaneial
Statement for 1 924 shows a balance
left over fi'oni the sale of twenty -en' '
thousand Hydro bonds of $6 33 69. It
also shows a balance of 33174.51 from !
the service account. reeking a total
on hand of $8 1 3.20. I notice this '
amount has not been brought for -1
ward to the 1 925 account.
Now, where is this amount? Doubt-
less the Treasurer's books will show,
but there is nothing in the 3025
statement that would accurately point
to its location; though there is one,
item there that might give a lead to
its loeation.
On totalling. the receipts and ex-
nenditures for the two years, I find
the account short by this exact
nmount, $81 3.2 0. Now, sir, surely
the ratepeyers,' and those of your
readers who care to perase the finan-
end stetement are entitled to a more
intelligible one then that appearing
