County Auditors
Report Surplus
GODERICH-The county au-
ditors report a surplus on 3,964
operations of $40,026.87, The
report was completed by A. M,
Harper & CR., Goderich, in
time for presentation at the Jan-
uary session of county council,
on Tuesday. Few counties get
an audit report on the calendar
year in time for a January ses-
sion.
County clerk -treasurer 1. G.
Berry estimated 1964 revenue at
$2, 285, 512 and expenditures as
$2, 282, 265, and so budgeted
fora surplus of only $3,247. By
November, a surplus of $26, 000
in general account was indica-
ted. The $40,026 now reported
will no doubt be taken into con-
sideration when the finance
committee is deciding whether
or not it can hold the line at 14
mills.
Mr. Berry warned at the Nov-
ember session that a rise of one
mill in the levy would be nec-
essary if the present program
were to be maintained. Another
factor is that $110,000 was
transferred from surplus account
to current revenue last year.
