Gov

می لی جو خود کی

I have the honour to inform you that on the 22nd,

December, I sent you the following telegram in answer to your

You

telegram of the 16th. idem, viz. 54991

2.

"Your telegram of 16tn. December no liquid assets pendin.

raising loan under Ordinance 8 of 1913, Prement overdraft

$1,900,000. Accounts were in same form as from 1910 nave

been altered from September last to be more in conformi-

-ty with Financial Instructions. Despatch follows by

mail".

J

On enquiry into the matter of the form of the State-

-ment of Assets and Liabilities I find that previous to that for

the year 1910, the reimbursements due on account of Railway

Construction were shown in a foot-note and not in the body of te

statement but in the one for 1910 no foot-note was given.

It would appear that this form was adopten in

imitation of the one attached to the Report of the Comptroller and

Auditor-General on the Finances of the year 1909 which was transe

-mitted in your predecessor's Despatch so, 4 of 5th, January, 1911,

fiat it was assumed that the amount of the Loan advanced to T

tué vic

uokang could be treated as an asset and not as

́sed"by loan.
