Councillor Foster, on thc ground of increased expenditure of 53324.12 we; 192D Ind a mime-cc in revenue due to uncollectcd taxes of $50,345.72. This adverse balance, Mr. Foster explained, is only an ap- parent deficit, inasmuch as unpaid taxesconstitute assets which, had they been fully lealizxl upon last year, would have shown a subsiilfl- Nd surplus in the accounts. Delin- quent tax-payers were strongly crit- icised, and it was suggested by the Mayor. that compulsory collection of taxes would be necessary in future In order to balance the budgct. Tho manner of prescntlnl; V year's financial report calls fora word of commendation. In the old days it was common in business practice to carry over accounts from one year to another, and not much thought was given to o. day of settle- ment. There were usually sufficient funds to carry on successfully and thc part payers-those who delayed meetng their liabilities-wore not bothered with. Today all this has changed. Modern auditors demand of every business that a PYQDEYIY Hum- entfcatecl balance sheet be submitted and that debtors be made to foot their bills or the accounts written off bad or doubtnil debts. The City Council should be in no differ- ent position from a business concern, and we are glad to see that business men like Mr. Foster and his col- leagues have taken the bull by the horns and decided that modern f9- 0f . . . . three generals of exceptional ablily ' r ' ' dwnatlon the ' methods; should be introduced in the .

It is absolutely ossental. too, that lteps should be t:i:en to provide sinking funds for all loans raked by the City Council for whatever pur- pose. It is not good business to bor- row and not be prepared to redeem the loan without inconvenience at the end of the term'of the loan. We congratulate the City Council on changing its attitude on this vital question, and trust this 011M189 W111 be followed later with the appoint- ment of an external auditor-not for the purpose of finding ff there be anything wrong. which we do mt suggest for a moment, but that up- to-date methods of book-keeping and accounting may be followed in the interests of both tax-payers and bondholders. The report of the Water Commis- sioners is of special interest in view oi’ the serious water shortage last year and the installation of a new wgu-zr system at Bracklcy. lt is rc- ouuring to note the opinion of tho commissioners that all dnngcr from a further water shortage, provided ordinary care is exercised, is over for many years to come. Should any guoh danger arise, the public will ex- pect to be taken into the confidence cf the City Council and the Water Commission, and not. be left, in the words of His Worship the Mayor, to the mercy of Providence to be saved from disaster, According to the re- port of the Commissioners, the City council was informed five years ago that the supply was in danger, and the first sign of a possible shortage was noticed by the Commission as far back I4 i020.
