Nelson, 6th May, 1868.
THE SUPERINTENDENT directs the publication of the following Report for general information.
ALFRED GREENFIELD,
Provincial Secretary.
Provincial Audit Office,
Nelson, April 30, 1868.
TO THE SPEAKER OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL, NELSON.
SIR,—I have the honor to forward herewith the Quarterly and Annual Statements of Receipts and Expenditure, by the Provincial Treasurer, for the period ending 31st March, 1868, with the certificates as to the correctness of the same endorsed on the face thereof; also a Summary of the Expenditure under the heading "Miscellaneous" for the past Financial Year; also a Statement of the Receipts and Expenditure, of the Waterworks Fund, from the commencement of the work to the 31st ultimo; and a Statement of the Assets and Liabilities of the Province at the present time.
The Annual Statement shows a Cash Balance as against the Province of the sum of £9,659 1s. 1d. The whole of the Revenue accruing to the Provinces to the 31st March, has not yet been paid up; for the past month a sum on account only having been received.
The sum of £12,000 placed as a fixed deposit for the purpose of meeting the £20,000 worth of Debentures due on 1st July next, together with the interest due thereon, as well as a further sum of £860 placed in the hands of Trustees for the same purpose will shortly be again available for Provincial use.
I believe the whole of the Liabilities of the Province are as closely paid up as possible.
It will be seen that the amount paid by the Province for interest on overdrawn accounts at the Banks on the West Coast and in Nelson for the past year, amounts to £1,122 16s. This sum would no doubt have been larger had not the Treasurer availed himself of the amount to the credit of the Waterworks and Immigration accounts. These accounts
