AUDITOR'S REPORT.
Provincial Audit Office, Nelson,
April 27, 1863.
To the Honorable,
The Speaker of the Provincial Council,
Nelson.
SIR,—In accordance with the provisions of the Provincial Audit Act of the General Assembly 1861, I have the honor to forward herewith the Quarterly Statement of the Provincial Treasurer, ending March 31, 1863, also the Yearly Statement or Balance Sheet for the Financial Year ending same period, and a statement of the Assets and Liabilities of the Province, with the certificate as to the correctness of the same, required by the Act, endorsed on the face of each respectively.
The accounts of the Secretary to the Immigration Commissioners to the 31st March, 1863, have been examined as well as the accounts of the General Government with the Province, and found correct.
The statement of the Government Storekeeper shows a large amount of tools and provisions on hand, now being used by the different road gangs. Generally, the provisions being carted to the various stations are sold to the men at Nelson prices, and the difference or loss charged against the respective works.
In order to carry on these works, many of them being in altogether unsettled districts, the Government have found it necessary to purchase both Pack Horses and Bullocks, and as a matter of course largely of saddlery, which may be summed up as follows.
15 Horses @ £35 each ... 525 0 0
28 Bullocks @ £17 10. ... 490 0 0
3 Drays @ £30 ... 90 0 0
Pack-saddles and other harness ... 150 0 0
£1,255 0 0
This expenditure has mostly been charged to the work causing the same, and thus made
