in all the Books. We did not think it necessary to rewrite
all the entries or to incur the expense of newBooks.
4. We note the Committee wish us to make a periodical
examination of the amounts owing to the Vestry, and we
should be obliged by their advice, whether this is to be
quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly.
5. With a view to reporting the amount owing to the
Vestry at the end of the Financial year the 25th March,
1892, we have inspected two Books marked "Vestry
Dust Ledger," which may be considered " Day Books,"
shewing the quantities of Ashes, etc., sent away.
6. As the first of these Books included items of various
dates, we thought it better to make our examination from
the commencement of the Book October 1885, and we
have traced the entries from this date into the Ledgers,
and the Cash Received in respect to them from the Cash
Book, and find these entries to be accurately made.
7. There are, however, some cases in which the Stuff in
the "Vestry Dust Ledger" is not brought to the Debit of
anyone, and we understand that in these cases no charge
is made for the materials which are described as
"Sweepings," "Rough Dust," "Hard Core" and "Clinkers."
8. Many pages of the Book are taken up with particulars
of the quantities sent to the Great Eastern Railway who
make a charge to the Vestry for carriage and disposal of
it.
9. There are in use two Ledgers, some accounts being
open in both. In those cases in which an account with
the same person was open in both, we have now transferred
the balances from the old to the new Ledger, so as
to have all the particulars together.
10. We beg to forward herewith a Schedule of the amounts
we find owing to the Vestry according to the Ledger on
the 25th March, 1892. We are unable, however, to
express an opinion, or to estimate what may be the real
value of these assets, some of the amounts have since
been paid, as noted.
11. There is some refuse sold by the Vestry which has not
been entered in the "Vestry Dust Ledger," such as bones,
iron, and glass, but which appear on the counter-foils of
the Sold notes. We think it would be as well to bring
these into this Book, as well as the charges for hire of
Steam Roller.
