Lucan Financial Statement
Auditor's Report
To: The Members of Council, Inhabitants and
Ratepayers of the Corporation of the
VILLAGE OF LUCAN
We have examined the 1974 financial statements of the Cor-
poration of the Village of Lucan. Our examination included a
general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of
accounting records and other supporting evidence as we con-
sidered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Corporation of the Village of Lucan as
at December 31st, 1974, and the results of their operations for
the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted for Ontario municipalities applied on a
basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
