erere The Civic Accounts

Prima Facta, there isa good showing of the civic accounts for the past year. But it is perhaps, premature to come toa ¢ melusion concerning chem until after they have been discussed in detail by the Council. The short statement made by the Mayor will, however, be received with satisfaction by the corporation at large. His Worship says that —

Further, the Mayor says--‘‘By referring you will. observe that the receipts for the year 1891 are in excess of expenditure by $1,237.76, which added to the uncollected civic taxes of 1891, $1,565.19, makes a gain to the city for the year of $2,802.95, and deducting ths unpaid accounts for 1891, $1,602.50, there isa balance of $1,200.45, and de- ducting 10 per cent. reserve on contract of P. E. Island Electric Company, amounting to $419.37, there is a balance of $781.C8 in favor of the city in the year’s transactions and i placed to the credit of capital account.”

to the income account

It is very pleasing to have such a clear and gratifying statement, vouched for on such high authority, The value of a proper system of book-keeping and carefu; oilicers, held subject to good behaviour, must be apparent to all.
