GENTLEMEN, Io accordance with your instructions we have investigated the books and accounts of the City of North Vancouver, dealing more specially with the transactions as between the city and municipality it the date ol incorporation, also wilh lhe income and expenditure to Diceuiber 31st, 11)07. Un examining the books we (omul it advisable to revise the accounts as published at December 31st, and attach hereto for your approval the following accounts at amended: General balance sheet (pro forma) as nt December 31st, 1907. Schedu'e "A" Income and Kx- penditure account, June ist, 1907 lo December 3ist, 1907. Schedule '*B'' Waterworks Revenue account, June 1st, 1907 to Decenibei 3ISI, 1907. Schedule "C" Valuation of Streets and Kii.ul** as taken over by the cit, al d ite ul incorporation. Schedule "D" Sundiy Properties, (corporation asset!.) Schedule "E" Sundry Creditors at December 31st, 1907. We have made no entries in the civic bunks, but have complete dialis of all entries which we consider essential to bring lhe books into agreement with our accounts submitted herewith, and il the same are adopt, d, we shall i-eg'ad to give all the required information or red ive authority to superintend the necessary adjustments. The city officials published a statement January 6th, 1908, containing a cash account and balance j per annum, and it is for the council to determine whether it is their intention to include the interest and sinking fund necessary for the payment of waterworks bonds in their schedule of taxation under the heading of "General loan rate," or whether the loss, if any, on the operating of the waterworks will be charged and paid out of the general rate. We have divided the balance sheet into two portions, the first portion dealing with capital ,1 sits and liabilities, and the second portion dealing with current assets and liabilities, by which you will see that we include in the capital liabilities the sum of (16,181.97 being an amount expended bv the city on permanent improvements between June ist anil December 31st, 1907, which amount they have borrowed from the current assets and which we presume will be refunded when the bonds of (17,000.00 authorized under bylaw 3a are sold. The total capital expenditure was (28,807.88. lhe difference between this and the above-mentioned (16,162.97 wai provided by the conversion ol uiuid capital assets into permanent improvements. The assets do ot include the sum ol (4,625.43 w ich was spent by the board of school trustees in addition to school buildings. We understand that up to the present no itepi hive been tiken by the city to have the lands and schools transferred from the provincial government lo the city, although the city is spending money on property, the rights to which are still vested in the government. Included among the civic assets sheet lor the seven months ending Ion June ist, 1907 wa.s an item of December 31st, 1907, copy ol |j,JJIfij, being low M operating which 11 attached,-muibly intend- the waterworki incurred-by the ing to comply with Sec. 63 ol lhe diitrict municipality during the municipal clauiei act, which siateij period extending from inception "The districi municipalities shall, | to May 31st, 1907, and which it on or belore the second Monday, December 31st, 1907 was with cer- in January publish or post up on tain other items written ofl to rev- tile door of the council chamber a jenue account in thc City of Nortli balance sheet showing tbe assets ind liabilities of the corporition lo the jim December immediately previous to luch publication, and also a statement showing the re ceipti of revenue ind expenditure from Ue ut January to 31st December" but, iindei Sec. 6] "In city municipalities, councils may each yeir publish in pamphlet lorm, for the information of ratepayer!, a statement of receipt! ind expenditure giving n (ull particular! ai poanble to enable the financial position oi the corpora- lion lo be understood." Heading thii paragraph in conjunction with Sec. 139,which stales "The ralat ahall be levied (or all •uini neceiaary fur the lawfi.l pur* posei of tha municipality for such year" it seems to 111 (hit the legislative assembly intend city muni- cipalitiei lo publish 1 llitement showing the actual revenue and expenditure ol the city ind not in iccount which would be misleading il only the actual caah receipts ind iish piymenli were exhibited. We hive therefore prepned in iccount (stlirilulr "A") contiining the whole revenue from taxation and other ioiimi's applicable to the period, irreipective of whether it hid been collected or otherwiie, 11 only by thii method cm it he determined whether lhe current expenditure hu exceeded the assess ment bylaw. While particularizing with this iccount, we would dnw the Com miltee'i ittention to Ihe imount included u remuneration lor the mayor ind aldermen; the bylaw (or inch Ii iiuiiii -latum wii not paiscd until December 151I1, 1907, ind it will be (or Ihe Solicitor to Ihe city to determine whether such bylaw cm be midc retroactive. The hoard of school truiteci apparently expended (793 35 in excel! cl lhe imount of the ichool rite. The witerworks iccounti disclose 1 loss on the seven months opeutinf of (922 86 ai per idled- Vancouver booki. This amount we take exception to as being an asset, and for the purpose ol our accounts we have ignored it. The loss was apparently spread over a period of three years and arose Irom the interest on waterworks debentures being charged against the account, and if it was the intention to write ofl the loss, it should have been done annually by the municipality, and not transferred into Ihe civic bunks as an isset and then arbitrarily written off to revenue account within the first seven months ol their operating. You are aware that it the incorporation of the city there was an overdraft due to the Bank of British North America 01(87,472.12 secured by deposits of certain municipil debentures. A portion of thii imount wis money uicd in piying the necemry salaries and running expenses of the district municipality from January ist lo May 31st, 1907, but although this wai trcited 11 1 liability, no portion of the tix levied by the city for the yeir 1907 wai carried per contra 11 an asset, which in our ipinion ihould have been done, ind for the purposes ot our iccounti we hive treated 3-12 of the general rite, covering a period Irom the ut January to 31st May 11 1 civic asset at June ist, 1907. That, in our opinion must have been the intention of the council in levying the rate, as otherwise the rafe of n1.. mills levied lor general expenies, il only for seven months expenditure would he ultra virei, being at 1 rite ol 1957 mills per annum, ind therefore greater than the imount illowcd by the municipil cliuses ict, 1906 Sec. 136, which stiles "The council miy levy 1 rite to provide for ill sums which may bc required lor the lawful purpose of the municipality for lhe year, provided that it shall nol exceed 15 mills on Ihe dollar ol the isseised value." It hu been clearly laid down by the leading accountants of the world that the fixed assets or properties of a city should be divided under three heads: ilt—properties which are considered remunerative and realizable. 2nd—unrcmunerative but realizable properties. 3rd—unremunerative and unrealizable properties. and under such headings the waterworks system of the city would come under No. 1. Under No. 2 would come the public buildings, (city hall, fire and police stations, etc.) parks, etc., and the third class would consist of such assets as bridges, culverts, sidewalks, roads, etc., which although uot realizable are necessary lor the city to carry on its ordinary func tions. For this reason we called lor a valuation of the roads, bridges, etc. which were taken over by the city, but which were not included amongst the assets on the books. The valuation as supplied to us was (110,423.00, details of which are attached as per schedule C. It is obvious that the Committee appointed to fix the terms on which the city took over certain municipal assets, and certain liabilities, had this asset of roads and bridges in mind, because otherwise the liabilities were in excess ol the assets to the extent of (101,463.65. The deficiency as disclosed by the books was (108,683.47, but as we have before pointed out, the ac crued portion of rates, etc. was not treated as an asset. This deficiency is dealt with in the books in a somewhat peculiar manner. There is an account opened in the ledger headed "North Vancouver City" to which is charged the total amount ol the liabilities laken over from the district municipality, amounting to (237,834.63. It is credited with sundry assets purporting to be taken over from the district municipality amounting to (129,151.16 thus showing adeficiency of jm\- 683.47. It is further charged on December 31st with an amount of (9,500.00, the estimated amount of accounts owing hy the city on thai date, irrespective of whether they were capital or revenue expendi (mc Un December 31H it is credited with the balance ol a so- called revenue account lor the seven months to December 31st, 1907 ((67,728.01), thus leaving a debit balance of (50,555 46, which MAKE REPLY Vancouver, Canada, 8th Aucust, 1908. To the Mayor anu Ai hm-.ii \, Citv ok North Vancouver. Gentlemen—We hive carefully considered the report submitted by Messrs. Kendall, Sewell St Co., as special auditors, appointed under Sec. 94 of the Municipal Clauses Act, and also the report of the special audit committee dealing with the same. Taking up the report in detail we would point out that the special audit shows that the funds of the city have been properly accounted for. The special auditors admit:. 1. That the accounts are properly vouched. 2. That they have verified the bank accounts. 3. That they have compared the tax roll with the assessm* nt roll, and they ire in ibsolute agreement. 4. That they have verified the counterfoils of the tax receipts with the hooks, and find tl-ey are in agreement with the exception of a few cents. 5. They further report that the actual detail work of the account] ing has been well performed. On page 1 of their report the special auditors state that the city officials had apparently tried to comply with the law as regards district municipalities. Their assumption to thii effect is entirely wrong. The financial statement at 31st December, 1907, were prepared at the earliest possible date at the special request of the 1907 municipal ict is is lollows:- -" No municipal council, lave aa by this or by any other act may be other wise provided, shall have power to incur any liability bevond the municipal revenue for the current year. And the revenue (or the use of every council duly elected shall commence with the legal collection from the first diy of the year in which the slid council was elected until the end of the said year." As city auditors we complied with the provisions of the foregoing section,and the accounts of the city as issued it 31st December last arc properly drawn up. The accounts submitted by the special auditors are absolutely incorrect from beginning to end. They are framed, according to the special auditors own statement as quoted above, on an entirely wrong basis. The reference by the special auditors to the board cf school trustees, having expended an amount in excess of the amount of the school rate, is entirely out of order. The school trustees have no control over the rate which is levied by the council. The council have lo levy a rate to provide funds (or payment of Ihe school trustees estimate. The special auditors' remarks are again in direct conflict with section 67 of the municipal act, as the act does cot contemplate lhat the school estimates can be paid out of taxes not collected. The special auditors' statement (schedule B) showing a loss ol (931.86 on sevu, months operating of the waterworks is incorrect. council, in their endeavor to com-1 The spec"!! auditors give the op- ply with the expreised wishes of' ..~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the ratepayers. The statement was prepared under lection 62, of the municipil n the balance sheet as published dated January 6th, 1908 Is called revenue account. This is apparently misleading, and any person unacquainted with the books would* probably understand that then had been a current expenditure of (50,553.46, more especially as the certified balance sheet dated January 6th, 1908, stalei that it is 1 balance sheet for the corporation of Ihe city for the seven months ending December 31st, 1907. Then* is shown in the books a loss on the operating ol thc waterworks of (414.00 gieater than the amount we show in this account, owing to the fact that arrears of ulei were nut included in the financial statement as at Decemb r 31st, 1907. The iccounti should be adjusted accordingly. The rental of (750.00 due Irom thc lerry company at June 30th, 1907 is at present included in the books as a revenue asset for the seven months ending December 31st, 19117,hut n-12 of this amount had accrued due at thc dale of incorporation,and we have brought one month of Ibis into the revenue account, treating the olher 11-12 as a capital asset. The (500.00 accruing due be tween July 1st and December 31st, 1907 under agreement wilh the ferry company, we have credited to revenue account. This was not included in the published accounts ol Ihe city. The revaluation of the fixed 1 nn aisets wis mide by the city Trees* urer, Mr. Woods, and was apparently based on the assessor's valu- ition. [concluded on third MM.] clauses act, which reads:—"In city municipalities thc council may, each year, publish in pamphlet form for the information of ratepayers, a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the city lor the year ending the thirty-first day of December, giving as (ull particular! as possible, to enable the fin- am ial position of the corporition to be understood." In our opinion the stitement was properly issued and in compliance with the municipal id. In the next paragraph, beginning on page 2 ol the report the special auditors reler to thc foregoing section, which they read in connection with section 1390I the municipal Act (which is wrongly quoted in their report), and which properly, reads as follows:—"Thc council miy, in eich ind every yeir, put a by-law or by laws lor levying 1 rate or rales on all the land and improvements as assessed to provide for all sums which may be required for the lawful purposes of the municipality lor such year." The special auditors ten express their opinion ol what the legislative assembly intended city municipalities to do, and continue 11 (ollows: "We hive therefore prcpired in iccount contiining the whole revenue from tuition and other sotirrei applicable to the 1 >i nml. irreipective ol win-tin r it hu lieen collected or otherwiie, 11 only by thii method cm it bc determined whether the current expenditure hu exceeded enting account credit (or (414 rentals due but not paid at 31st December, 1907, but they omit to charge the operating iccount with the corresponding item, it ist June, 1907, when thc city wu incorporated. So that their repo't ol the loss lor the seven months is quite wrong. The clauses on pages 2 ind 3, dealing with capital assets and liabilities, and current assets and ba bilities ind the convenion ol liquid capitil issets into permanent improvements, deil with troubles which the specul luditon hive created lor themselves, which do not occur in the municipal accounts ind lor which wc ire not responsible. The account! ol the City ol North Vincouver, is submitted it 31st December, 1907, ire dnwn up in a similar manner to those of the cities of Edinburgh ind Glisgow. The special auditors state thit the issets do not include the sum ol (4,625.43 spent lor idditions to schools. The diiect inlcicnce thit the bilance sheet is incorrect to that extent is debbentely misleading. Thc schools ire nut in eluded imong the city issets, lie- cause Ihey do not belong to the city.

Sec. 67 of the] liability to the bank 1 id 11 in 00 wiy concerned with it. The liability of the city to the diitrict municipality covers this and it clearly defined in the North Vancouver incorporation act, and properly recorded in the city booki. On page! 3 and 4, the special auditors report how they have treated the general rate levied by the council. They state that for the purposes of their accounts they have treited 5-iaths of it u an asset at ist June, 1907. To lup- port this extraordinary action they "xplain as follows:--" That in our opinion must have been the intention ol the council in levying tin* 1,1(1*. ,\. and still further to support their argument misquote section 139 of the municipil act by omitting Irom it the wordi "in eich and every year." In reply to the foregoing, as city auditors, we claim (1) that this treatment of the item is entirely wiong, (2) that a competent auditor confines himself to dealing with facts and not with opinions of the intention of other people, and (3) that the rate levied is perfectly legal and perfectly treated in the city books and statements as published at 31st December, 1907. Further, aec- iiiin 94 of the municipal act provides that the duties of an auditor may extend to a period back to and since incorporation, so thit it is clearly beyond the power of my speciil auditor to aet iside 112th of the genenl rite (or eich month, for five months preceding tbe incorporation of the city. The financial yeir ol the city ol North Vancouver could not begin belore the city wu incorporated, so that the first period of the city's existence was from ist June to 311! December, 1907. Thit wu the period (or which the 1907 couacil had control of civic affairs and their power to levy rates wu limited to their term ol office. Sec 139 of lhe municipil id reads:— "The council may, in each and every year, put a bylaw for levying a rite on all land, Ac, to provide lor all sums which miy be required lor the lawful purpose! of the municipality fo. such year. Provided alwayi thit the rite 10 levied shall not exceed one and one-hill cents on the dollar." The council levied a rate of 11# mills lo provide money for tha lawful purposes of the municipality from the melioration of the city 10311! Dec, 1907, No other general r; te was levied during the year, ro that the acl wis fully complied with. The section in the municipil ict does not reid thit the rate so levied shall not exceed one and one hall cents on the dollar per annum as is contended by the speciil auditors. Wa do not see that there is any relation Iietween tbe question of including the city streets ind bridges u uiets in the municipal hilince iheel, and the ipecial million' definition of whal ihey stite ii Ihe opinion of the leading at 1 militants of the woild* The ciiy ol North Vincouver bilance iheet ii dnwn up on the lame lines u the balance ihaets ol the cities nf Edinburgh, Glisgow and Montreal. None of these citiei include their streets and bridges ai assets in the annual balance iheet. In the cue of Montreil 1 list of all special expenditure is published, showing the expenditure on strecti, included along with epidemic, discount on debentures, &c. We consider the municipal officials ol the principsl British cities are the highest authorities on framing municipal balance sheets. Their accounts clearly show that expenditure un streets ind bridges il speciil expenditure, ind it il treated according, but it is nol treated as cspital expenditure and it il not cirried at in asset. We cliim therelore, that we ire not only justified but correct, in lollowing llu |ir<r,t|ent of these leading cities, ind that schedule C should nol be int bided in the municipal hilince sheet. The next point dealt with by thc iprcul auditors is Ihe liability u- iiimedby the city at ut June, 1907, [CONCLUDED ON 1H1RD PAOl] THIS EXPRESS, NORTH VANCOUVER, R. C.

Under the preient schedule, if the students take tbc 8. jo ferry, they cannot reach lhe school on time, and under the rules are compelled to lose the first lesson period entirely; while if they take the 7.20 ferry, they find themselves with three quarters of an hour to put in as best thev may in loitering about the city, as Ihey an* not allowed to enter the high school building until the hour for opening arrives. This latter predicament is particularly unpleasant during the winter season. From present appearances there will be a company ol about filtct'ii students making lhe trip every morning, a number sufficiently large to justify some consideration in their behall. A ferry leaving North Vancouver at eight o'clock would give them sufficient time to catch a car that would take theni to the school on time, or a lerry say at S, 10 would answer provided the B. C. E. Ky. could bc induced to arrange the time card of one of the special school cars so IS to run in conjunction with the -jai m I-mJiI- lyo lerry.

REPORT OE SPECIAL AUDIT [C0NCI.UnF.ll I KOM nail I'AIIK] The incorporation expenses we have written off to revenue account, as the act of incorporation states that such expenditure shall be paid out of the ordinary revenue of the city. The sale of 11148,200.00 of the city debentures to Mr. Woolans, which transaction took place on January 15th last, has not yet been recorded in the civic financial books, but the city treasurer informs us that the delay has occurred through the Hank of British Nortli America lieing unable to lupply certain necessary information. We would suggest iu your re- coiiinieniliilions to the city council that special appropriations of (he estimated current expenditure In* 111,ule to each of the sub-committees, as otherwise the city treasurer will b«' tUiable to keep sufii cient check on the various departments to enalile him to guard against the current expenditure exceeding the estimated current revenue.

The District Council Bill I ,11 llrlrmller 31st. |i|'.li, in hii; olivioiisli incorrect The nu iiinlii tin* Incorporation act has the right lo raise by the iaaaa ol debenturea 5245.oro.oo to cover liabilities at the date ol in* corporation,an .1 of this .<245,000.00 575,000.00 was intended to cover the bond issue of the district municipality for waterworks construction, and we think it would he in the interesls ol the ratepayers if the council stated tlieir intention as to the carrying out ol (his policy together with the. additional expenditure ol 535,000.00 lor which bylaw No. 16 was passed. Vouchers have been produced bearing the necessary authority (rom the council lor all payments made, and we have verified tin bank account with the cash book. We have carefully compared the tax roll with the assessment roll, which we are pleased to report are in absolute agreement, and we have examined and verified the counterfoils ol the tax receipts with the books and liml that they are in agreement with the CXCep- lion ol a (ew cents. The actual detail work nf the accounting has been well performed, but it is clear that wilh the growth ol the- city the present system will have to be changed to ensure the record ol complete data of the financial transactions ol the city, and proper statistical and subsidiary records being kept. We hive made certain recommendations to the city treasurer, and shall be pleased to furnish full particulars should you care to place the same before the council for their endorsation. We have suggested to the city treasurer the advisability ol informing creditors when their ac counts have been approved for payment and cheques drawn, as at April 30th, 1908, over 60 cheipies issued are shown in thc hank reconciliation account as outstanding, some ol which have been belt! in the treasurer's office for over six months. We arc of the opinion, and trust that you will make a strong recommendation on the point, that it is absolutely impossible for the officials to issue a statement of the city affairs six days after the dole ol the financial year. From nur experience wc know that while they may endeavour to give an account, the same can neitlni In complete or strictly accurate. We take this opportunity of Councillors Nye, McNaught, Robaoa and Davidaoa were present at the session ol the district council on Friday evening last. Letters were read as follows: Irom city clerk, Vancouver, re registration of plans for Capilano road.

CTI1 AUDIIOR* MAM REPLY l [cutsetuiiKi)iKOM nan two] The special auditors state that the liability assumed by the city at ist of June, 1907, was not credited with the accrued portion of rates, etc. We would point out that these rates were not ievied till after the city was incorporated and could not possibly aflectliabilitiesexistingon the date of incorporation. The contention ol the special auditors that the council could increase or decrease Iht* liabilities assumed under the act of incorporation by subsequent ly levying a gieater or less rate is positively ibiura. We take exception to the special auditors' statement that thi 11111111- cipal account, beaded in the ledger North Vancouver city, is dealt with iu a peculiar manner. This statement of the special auditois is untrue, lu the very next sentence the special auditors state that the account shows a deficiency of 5loH,- (183.47. These figures are correct and are referred to by the special auditors on the previous page of tlieir report. The figure! are not only correct but the details of how the deficiency atises is shown 111 the account, without having to te ler to any other books or records. At 31st December, 1907, the account was properly credited with #67,628.01, the amount ol increase 111 the civic assets during the scieu months to 31st December, 1907, and the account was also properly charged with the unpaid liabilities at 31st December, 1907, amounting to 59,500, which is clearly shown on the balance sheet. The b tin profit and loss account, which appears on the balance shut was a clerical error made in tin fan oop) of the balance sheet handed to iln printer, after it liad been approvi tl by us, and which was not noticed 111 time to correct. The account is as follows : Ml'NIi ll'll. .111 HUM Deficiency at 1st June, 1907 Si, Sundry creditors, unpaid at 31st Decern In 1, 1907 9,500.00 Hll8.l8j.47 Iiii ir.ise iii assets during 7 mouths tO 3lsl December, 1907., 5(17,628.01 Balance carried down 50,555.46 Another Bear Story The latest citizen of Lynn creek to make the acquaintance ol the large, sleek Bruin which h,iI I" M frequently startling the residents of the valley ol late is (i.

Editor or The Express: Sir,—As a Irequent visitor to Lynn Valley,it has occurred to me on more than one occasion that there is an alisolute need ol an up- to-date, well managed hotel there. The valley is visited hy great numbers of people in the summer sea son, and there is no accommodation for llieir needs. It should he home in mind thai there is a walk ol .ilioni two miles Irom the tram terminus to the creek and canyon, and if parties go over for the day they must perforce carry all their provender or go without, after l hot and dusty journey. To the opponents ol the proposed hotel, 1 would remark that the wants of the many are as important as the views nl the few, and that the lav. is sufficiently strong to see that the license, if granted, is not abused. 1 am, sir, yours truly, Hinry Worth 361 7th ave wesl, Fairview, Vancouver, August 11.
