AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE.
We beg to report that we have examined the accounts for the year ended March 25th, 1891, also the Collecting and Deposit Books on the Local Management Rates kept
by the Collectors, also the Vestry Clerk's Cash Book and the Bankers' Pass Book, and find them agree. We especially note that the Vestry Clerk has submitted for
examination the Local Management Rate Books for the year ended Lady-Day, 1891, and we have verified therein the amount actually collected, also the amount of arrears
outstanding, the allowances to owners for composition, and the amount not recovered through empty property, and each is correctly and clearly stated.
We have also examined the Vouchers for the payments made by the Overseers during the same period and have verified the Balances at the Bankers' on March 25th,
1891, and we find the net balance due from the Overseers to be £2,040 3s. 4½d.
We observe that the Overseers have drawn separate cheques for each Clerk's weekly salary. We would recommend that instead of pursuing this course in future, a
wages book be kept and one cheque for salaries be drawn payable to the Vestry Clerk. This arrangement would save all parties trouble and expense, and be more concise.
We desire to state that we are pleased with the very satisfactory manner in which the accounts have been kept, and it is clear to us that the work of balancing the
Rates in such a complete manner has entailed a considerable amount of extra labour, for which Mr. Robinson, the Vestry Clerk, is worthy of great credit.
Dated this 21st May, 1891.
