WM. LAWRANCE. G. W. S. IAGO. J. T. STANESBY. GEO. PURDOM. REPORT OF THE AUDITORS, 1861. We, the undersigned, have audited the accounts of the Vestry of St. Luke, Chelsea, for the year expiring 25th March, 1861, and allowed the same except the item of £21 14s. 9d., charged as the deficiency on the “Inauguration Dinner,” which after mature consideration we are of opinion, cannot properly be charged against the Vestry funds. We find the sum of £533 6s. 8d., amount of Precept dated 8th March, 1856, uncollected and carried forward from year to year, and would suggest, that such item be disposed of, by payment being enforced, or the amount written off. There does not appear to be any examination of the amount drawn by the Surveyor for, and that paid to, labourers, and although attention to this has been drawn by the auditors of the last year’s accounts, no alteration seems to have been made. We think that the Inspector of the Roads should sign the Surveyor’s wages book each week, in testimony of the number of men charged for, having been employed. In conclusion, we desire to state our thorough satisfaction with the mode in which the accounts are kept, and to express our full appreciation of the courtesy and assistance received from Mr. Lahee during our audit of such accounts. To the Vestry of St. Luke, Chelsea. G. E. MEAD, W. RHIND, JAMES CRISP. APPENDIX No. 34. INTEREST ACCOUNT.
