JAMES B. HEYWOOD,
Secretary to the Treasury.
R. B. VINCENT,
Acting Accountant to the Treasury.

The foregoing accounts have been examined and found correct, subject to the following remarks:

The “Customs,” “Railways,” and “Territorial Revenue” receipts are not now examined by the Audit Office...
The Audit Office is unable satisfactorily to verify the receipts of gold revenue, through the failure of the Mines Department to comply with a requisition for a certified statement of the amounts collectible as such revenue.
The expenditure on old-age pensions includes payments made by the Postmaster-General for old-age pension instalments to the amount of £3,601 11s. 3d. before the moneys necessary in order to enable such instalments to be paid had, by the Colonial Treasurer, been paid out of the Consolidated Fund into the Post Office Account, by way of imprest, in accordance with the provisions of section 58 of “The Old-age Pensions Act, 1898.”

J. K. WARBURTON,
Controller and Auditor-General.

Pay-day, the 1st of April last, for the old-age pensions fell upon a bank holiday, and payment upon that date to the Post Office of Imprest moneys could not be made; while to have paid prior to that date would have caused a double charge for old-age pensions in last year's accounts. The Post Office, under section 10 of “The Public Revenues Acts Amendment Act, 1900,” was quite in order in making the payments, and was thus enabled to keep faith with our aged pensioners, and to avoid a considerable amount of hardship which would undoubtedly have arisen had payment not been made upon the day appointed.

R. J. SEDDON,
Colonial Treasurer.

The Old Government Buildings (depicted) were completed in 1876 and initially housed the entire Wellington-based civil service as well as the entire New Zealand Cabinet. The Executive Council met there until 1948.
