(1) One School' board was overpaid the sum of $785.00 through error. (2) The variations between the 1966 Budget and the actual revenue and expenditures were in some items so large that the Budget was a meaningless document. (3) The bank loans for Revenue Fund purposes are in excess. of those permitted by the Municipal Act. (4) No approval was examined from the Ontario Municipal Board to charge any of the 1966 road expenditures against, 1967 tax revenue. (5) No fidelity bond was examined with respect to the position of Secretary-Treasurer of Hullett Township School Area Board. (6) Funds received from sale of debentures’ for Hullett Township School Area Board were not kept in a separate Bank Account but deposited with the Revenue Fund monies. AUDITOR’S OPINION • Subject to the foregoing qualifications, I hereby report that in my opinion (1) The financial 'transactions which have come under my notice have been within the powers of the municipalities. (2) 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 December 31, 1966 and the results of its operations for the year ended on that date. Signature A. M.
