Enclosure No.2.
17
Hon. Col. Sec.,
With reference to Secretary of State's despatch
No.99 of 12th March, 1935, I beg to report on the measures
that were taken to give effect to the instructions contained
therein.
Circular No.70 was issued and the order requiring
paylists to be in the Treasury not later than December 14th was rigidly enforced. Paylists arriving after that date were
rejected.
Every effort was made to effect payment of all
accounts within the year but at the close of business on the
31st December there were 92. expenditure accounts remaining
unpaid consisting of
Cheques totalling $3,251.11.
Cash
1,138.14.
The cash was refunded and the cheques were cancelled
and the various heads of expenditure credited accordingly.
Fresh vouchers were drawn in January of this year
for the items thus refunded.
(sd.) Edwin Taylor,
Treasurer,
12th February, 1936.
