AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE.
We, the undersigned Auditors of the Accounts of the
Vestry of the Parish of Fulham, for the financial year
ending 25th March, 1889, hereby certify that we have
examined the books of the Vestry, and have compared
the vouchers with the Cheques, and we find the £ s. d.
balance of 11,325 0 10
at the Bankers, on Current and Deposit Accounts to
be correct, and allowing for the outstanding cheques
amounting to 504 10 5
The Balance to be £10,820 10 5
We have also examined the Loan Account of the Vestry,
and we find that the Loans, including £25,300 £ s. d.
borrowed during the past year, amount to 55,068 0 0
We wish to call attention to the unsatisfactory condition of the New
Streets Accounts, a sum of £3,158 19s. l1d., being yet unrecovered,
and consider that the Vestry should devise some means for preventing
this accumulation of arrears.
We also find that the sums of £50 and £20 disbursed by* the Vestry
on the subject of Lammas Rights is an illegal payment, but believe
the expenditure was made with the approval of the Ratepayers, and,
therefore, have not surcharged the amount.
We are of opinion that the Vestry did not sufficiently investigate the
title to the property in Munster Road, utilized for stables, whereby the
sum of £125 and costs have been incurred unnecessarily.
We suggest that the audit should take place earlier than two or three
days before the Election.
We wish to place on record that we find the books have been kept in
a clear and very satisfactory manner, and that great credit is due to
the Accountant.
Dated this 21st day of May, 1889.
