recommendation "with the least possible delay." H; also declared it will give im- mediate consideration to setting up an "authority" or "agency" to carry out the recommendations.

Out of these recommendations, he said, was that a program of test borings brundertaken as early as possible after the ice goes out of the Strait so that construction plans can be started ‘without too much delay.

“It is estimated that the con- struction of the bridge wmlld take about three years to complete} which is about the limit of the uas- ful life of one of the railway car ferries now in operation between Mulgrave and Point Tupper," he said.

Mr. Chevricr said the beard of engineers had reported un- faverably on proposals fer con- structing e causeway, a ‘ nel or a high-level bridge.

"Thpboard further reported," he said, "that the present ferry system was operating at a loss and its dis- continuance would result. in a sub- stantial saving which would more than pay for the probable cost of

maintaining and operating the proposed bridge. "It is evident that purchasing

new ferry boats and rebuilding the ferry terminals would not mater- ially improve the efficiency of the ferry service end would not give the ‘uninterrupted passage which the public desires. The low-level bridge will at all times save 50 minutes in passenger train sched- ules to the Sydneys (in the in- dustrlai area of Cape Breton)!’ Of the several projects examin- ed by thc engineers, Mr. Chevrier

said, the proposed low-level. short-span bridge was the only one “which shows a saving on

present operating costs and con- sequently was the only one which, in their opinion, was economic- ally sound."

Members of the board of eng- ineers were D5. Ellis, dean of the faculty oi applied science at Queen's University, Kingston, and P.L. Pratley, another Montreal consulting engineer.

They examined these proposals:

1. A bridge to accomm ’ tc a single track railway and highway traffic end permitting vessels to move through the -stralt.

2. A causeway which also would permit vessel move- ments.

3. A tunnel for both rail and highway traffic.

4. Improved railway service. The bridge, Mr, Chevrier said,

will not only improve transporta- tion generally in the eastern end of Nova Scotla but also, with Newfoundiandu entry into confed- eration, will be of great import- ance in Tlﬂfpllll the flow of tref- fic t‘o and from that Province.

ts arising from the following sources: Report on the Finances of the Province

We have prepared and have forwarded under separate cover to the President of the Executive Council. a Statement of Revenue and Ex- penditures oi’ the Government of the Province of Prince Edward Island for the year ended 31st. March 1948, together with our report thereon. A summary of this statement is as follows:

Ordinary revenue .. . 5,231,599.85 Ordinary expenditure .. .4,875.709.57 Surplus of ordinary revenue . .. . . 35539038 Capital and other extraordinary revenue . $1,715.96

Capital and other extraordinary expenditure ...2.352,983.25 2,089,267.29

Capital expenditure in excess of revenue ._ Deduct: Amount added to Sinking Fund ...... .. 388,643.32

Increase in liabilities during the year ............ .. \1.324.633.69

We would also state that it is our belief that the absence of informa- tion in the books from which tn prepare a balance sheet is a major contributing factor tn the unsatisfactory state of the records of rcpayable losna and advances referred to in paragraph 10, sub-paragraph (b) here- under.

The instructions to us from the Executive Council oi’ the Province retgueated us te ascertain certain liabilities and assets of the Province. lt will be noted from the modified Instructions that the liabilities and seeeta so ascertained are not. the total liabilities arid assets of the Prov- ince. This is particularly true in regard to certain realizable capital aa-

1 sets which are not reﬂected in any manner in the public accounts of the

Provlnce._A list of major realizable capital assets is given below at book value without provision for possible losses on realization. ' -

With the exception of thr- records relating to loans repayable to the Government such as loans mnde I'\_\' the Fishermen’: Loan- Board. Seed Grain Loans. F1F.,\\'P found that tho hooks of account of the Gnvernmen: were well and noniiy kept. The records relating tn loans repnyahle in the Government are discussed at length in sub-paragraph ihi of this‘ paragraph. We also found that the majority of the books of account and other records are written up manually. 1n view of the great number of transactions undertaken by the Government, it is our opinion that the work of recording same, particularly in the Treasury Department and the Department of Public Works, could be more efficiently performed by Hug use of bookkeeping and other accounting machines, and we there- fore recommend that mechanized uccounting records be installed.

We have considered the possible advantages and disadvantages of one central accounting office for nil departments and activities of the Government as rnmpnrrd with the jircseht system of separate accounting staffs for each Dr-partwent. The apparent advantage of a central ac- counting officr would he a possible reduction in staff or a more effi- cient employment of staff through the maximum use of mechanized accounting equipment. A major disadvantage ‘would be the removdl of essential reference records from tho Department and we realize that this would cause inconvenience to the Deputy Ministers and other officials and would tend to reduce the efficiency of the operations of the Depart- ments. However, in addition to the foregoing reasons, we believe that there la considerable merit. from the point of view of supervision and detection of errors, under the present system whereby the Departments are independently responsible‘ and are supervised by the Provincial Aud- itor. Our opinion therefore is that no change should-be made at this time.
