MAIN POINTS

To understand properly the state of aflairs which existed in your City Clerk's Office is necessary to .! study our detailed report closely but we will endeavor to set down. here without explanation or ela- boration thc main points.

Many vouchers and paid cheques were missing. On certain vouchers the signatures oi the Finance Com- mittee had been forged. Irregular endorsements were. round on paid cheques which, in two cases, from lthe written statements of the -palyiees. would appear to be lor-

es.

Many Paid Debentures were miss- ing and there was a complete lack of dproperly kept Debenture re- cor s

The Debenture interest coupons paid in 1929 and 1930 were in the .va.ult and had been withheld from your external auditor in 1982. as shown by his report. Had these been available to him the unrecord- ed debentures issued prior to 1932 would have been discovered at that

e. The Council did not act on the . external auditor’s report in 1932 for the year 1931, which action, if taken. would have saved the city thousands oi dollars.

There had been suppression or tax and license receipts.

There was is state of chaos your accounting and filing which would seem to have been deliberate- B’ created to prevent a, complete in- vestigution.

There was deliberate falsification of Printed Re rts, which apparent- ly were certii ed as correct by your auditors. Your Act of Incorporation and various amendments do not ap- pear to be entirely clear, making it almost impossible to arrive at an interpretation of some matters ai- Iccting accounts. The statements attached to the detailed report set out the position at the city as at January 15th, 1938. and as at January 15th, 1939, recon- ciliation oi the City's Printed Bal- ance sheet as at January 15th, 1938, with the one which we have pre- Damd. Revenue and Expenditure and Receipts and Disbursements for the year ended January 15th, 1939, together with details of Capital Ex- fi‘ll11dl1:ll.I‘e, Trust Accounts, Sinking ds, Debentures Payable, Short- Ises and Irregularltles, etc. In dis- cussing these statements the ear ended January 15th, 1939, wil be "Gated 8-5 the Current Year.

Current Expenditures

in

Expenditure for the Current Year was closely examined, and required many conlerences with the Finance

ficials before we could complete our work. The many forgeries of signs- tums or members or the Finance

too were found as a whole. on v uc-hers which were otherwise in order: Due to lack of detailed in-

Commlttee and various City of-‘

oIa>csshrecis1lo.rinthcMar- Street Asscannénts

Tire books for keeping rccardsol assessments for t streets and cormzreie sidewalks, it properly kept, would have given the neces- sary lnlorrnotlon. such was not the case: we found leaves from these lodgers, showing balances owing, in both the vault-and store room. These have been replaced intheledgemarrdbinscrebeing sent out according to the amounts. Due to various reasons set out in the detailed report, here also our report can only be considered as lA’.'Kl.'08.l'.lVe.

As noted previously, we round that there were outstanding bent/ures to

by the City. These ap- parently were issucd:—

O'Connell Fund

The O'Connell Picmic Fund es- tablished in 1923 by J. D. O'Con- nell, has a deficit of $338.46 due to overpayment of income to the Orphanages. This will have to be repaid by the City.

Housing accounts have been properw divided as to principal and interest and checked linomthe comrnenoement of the plan. This showed that as at January 16th, 1939. there should have cash on hand 0! $6,379.39 which was not deposited in the Bank. A subsequent deposit was made 01' 86.36111. and we understood from the City Clerk that he was short

some considerable time there had been irregularities in Housing Cash and that the Bank balances in the published statements were much in excess of the actual Bank bal- ances, notwithstanding the met that the printed Auditors’ rt stated each year that they verified cash and Bank balances and found them in order. Most. housing loans are rec-rs. some borrowers than the original loan. s situ. ation requires careful attention.

‘ _ Sinking Funds

Sinking funds have been ahea- ed as carefully as possible back to 1931 but, due to missing paid cheques and debentures, we can- not say that the shortage is not 1n excess of the amouint set out below. Large amounts of income from sinking fund in -‘ 1.. were not deposited in the sinking fund bank account, but apparen- ly do ited in the Civic Bank Ac- coun to replace cash sho: . Payrnenxs were made from sin ng fund bank account in excess of the debentures maturing as shown by the City records and which our investigation shows to have been
