( Rod Hilts photo ) Auditor addresses Morris council MORRIS TOWNSHIP - Morris Township a uditor Karl Lentz of Lucknow attended the recent meeting of council to discuss the,. in- crease in the 1984 auditing bill. Council invited Mr. Lentz to the meeting to discuss the $5,000 bill which is an increase of $900 from 1983, and members wanted to know why. Mr. Lentz explained that the reason for the increase Was not due to any problems with the township's bookkeeping, but rather to a new accounting system introduced by the government this year which added the extra work. The cost of the actual audit was $4,350. Ad- ded to that was a report for, the inflation restraint board for another $350 and extra work involved with the new tax form at $300, for a grand total of $5,000. Mr. Lentz said he absorbed some of the cost himself. He said that unless there are any other changes to the tax form next year, the 1985 auditing bill should be around $4,350. All the other local municipalities have reported increases in their audit bills 'as well this year, reported Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie. • In other business, Morris will receive $48,000 in supplementary subsidy this year from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) of which -$38,000 will go toward the grader purchased in 1982 and $10•,000 toward repairs to the Blind Line Bridge, just off Concession 1. • .
