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.
