State has sanctioned the writing off of all arrears of

Squatters' and Village Rates up to the 31st December

1891, amounting to $928.79.

Report, a Statement, showing the balancing of the

Crown Rent Roll for 1894 has since been furnished to me.

The arrangement relating to the Store

Accounts of the Public Works Department, referred to in

paragraph 12 of the Local Auditor's Report, involved a

complete stock taking. This has since been carried out

by an officer of the Naval Yard, and I have been inform-

ed that the preparation of a new set of books, based on

the result of such survey, has since been opened.

Regulations for the guidance of Store Accountants have

also been prepared and approved by the Governor.

In the course of the examination of the Post

Office Accounts at Canton, referred to in paragraph 17

of his Report, the Local Auditor ascertained that a

practice prevailed there of paying the private Accounts

lomake.
