tama ---------------- Rout futavio Bhsecher ONLY ONB DOLLAR A YBAR JAMES BAIRD, - - - Editor. PORT PERRY, FEB. 21, 1879. The Budget. Tho phrase, "distant hills look green" has a world of meaning in it the tiuth of which is verified almost every day. How very much concern is manifested regard- ing the management of provincial affuirs by our Tocal Government, and of our dominion affairs by our Dominion Government ; this i§ as it + ought to be and if even more anxioty was manifested in these matters it would be better for all. But while wo look after the distant and that over which we have comparatively little control we are apt to over. ook or feel indifferent to the man- agement of the affairs of our own municipalities of which we should know everything and wher2 to a very great extent the electors have all the control. The annual budgets or audits published from year to year by our municipal councils ought to receive much of the atten- tion of the ratepayers as showing the amount of expenditure under the several heads during the pre- vious year together with the then financial condition of the municipal: ity as brought out by the as:ets and liabilities, It is true that the goveral councils do not submit their own budgets, but rather those of their predecessors; this i3 certainly undesirable and requires a remedy, in place of having the accounts audited and published in the begin- + ing of the year after the responsible parties have passed away and a new council in power, they ought by all means to be audited and published at the close of the year and before the nomination or election of the new council. Such a change would bea step very fur in the right direction and would have a salutary influence in the management of our municipal affairs, Electors would go to the nominations with the printed audits in their hands, the retiring council | more of three or four hundred dollars than could then be called upon to explain jhe would of ten cents if he had to earn { them. Here is the slp.shod fashion in which | every item requiring explanation and their chances of nomination and re-election would depend greatly on not alore as to the amounts expend- ed but as to the value given for theso amounts. Tt is only just that the courcil should have an oppor- | entries, Bill, Tom, Sam, &c., &c, carrying | | tunity of defending their expendit- ure before the electors, and that the electors should have an opportunity of demanding such explanations -- A large item of the outlay is on roads and bridges and if the money 80 expended has been judiciously laid out and gord value got for it little need be said as to the amount so Jong as it is within reason--but it is a notorious fact that in some muni- | cipalities much that is expended on roads and bridges is not laid out to good advantage and with tho audits |. in fFenson to feel proud over the result of the [he gots rid of the taxes of the people, theirsuccess indefending the several | go 3 Ou + J lworth expenditures exhibited in the audit, | bridges will likely be withdrawn, so that Reaeh isin a prosperous con- dition. } "The Audit is a carefully got up document and no less creditable to the Auditors than encouraging to the municipality. The detailed statement of the ac counts of the Treasurer of the town- ship of Brock for 1878 as furnished by the Auditors will be found on our second page. The total receipts for all purposes for the past year amount to $16,809.05 and the total expenditure for all purposes was $16402,59 leaving a balance of re- ceipts over expenditure of $405.36 in the hands of the Treasurer. For the purposes of schools theres 84,- 784 which should be deducted from both receipts and expenditure as far as general township purposes go 50 that theexpenditure after deduet- ing the schools is $11619.62. But the expenditure on railway purposes was $3860 and this taken from $11, 619.62 leaves $7759.62 as tho ex. | penditare for general township pur- poses and of this no lesss than §4118 was paid to the county --asomewhat expensive toy! The roads and bridges cost $1540.75 but this is by no means an expenditure to be re aretted if full value has been given | for the outlay, and the men under whose eye the expenditure is made --the" municipal council--will be regarded as a sufficiebt guarantee for the expenditure. The audit is a highly ereditable documente proving as it does the accuracy of tho accounts, the ability of the Auditors and the high: ly satisfactory condition of the fin- ances of the township. There are few municipalities in the Dominion which stand as well as the munici pality of Brock, and certainly there ix none whose affairs are more effi- ciently conducted. When we compare the manner in which the accounts of the above municipalities are kept with the jumbled and unsatisfactory madner ; i which the accounts of depart ments of the dominion are kept we have comparison. A natural genius who distri buted the bounties of the Mackenzie Gov- ernment in British Columbia thinks no If the payment were under $1000 he thought little of it that he did not consider it the trouble of the surname of the party receiving it-- | The accounts abound in such entrivs as + paid to Frauk $218," paid to Harry £436 ; to Jim $128 ; to Jouny $147; to Joseph $253, and so on with a whole host of such writing down | away their hundieds on no higher claim so | far as appears on the face of it, than simply their being called « Jim," * Tom," &c, and being on the Mackenzie side of politics. rr -- « Your Sins Will Find You Out." Tho above proposition is by no means new bat its truth is no less pertinent that account; tho big Book asserts it aud every day's experience corroberates the | truth of the proposition and no mat ter what effort may be put forth to on brought out at the end of the year parties residing in localities where | the public money had been expend- ed: and seeing the amounts in the | audit the matter would bo fresh on their mind ani they would be in a position to say whether or not value had been got for the outlay, and the council would there and then have ~an opportunity to defend the outlay or bear the ceasure, The same may be said of the other items of axpend- itare,and the only satisfactory mode whieh ean be adopted is to have the audit before the council at its last meeting every year. This could be accomplished without the slightest confusion. Such a change would be of vast importance and by it the audit would fully answer the pur« pose for which it is designed. In Justice to municipal councils no loss than to the taxpayers such a change ought to be brought about without delay. - We have in this issue the detailed ts of he ts of the township of Brock und also of Reach, two of the most prosperous, intelligent manicipalitios in the province. Tn tho Reach audit which appears on the first page, the Receipts amount to $20,241. Of this $1,829 was for roads and bridgos; $7,462 : paid for schools, and. no less a than $3,806 was paid to the y ; the railway cost us $2,180. tnt - Was som - Amount of school trustev's shake the truth of the assertion it is every time, no. matter whether those sins be religious, civil or political, and no better illustration need be asked than thatof the late election contest for tho representa' tion of North Ontario in the Do- minion Parliament. Means the most abominably vicious and cors rupt were adopted in order to secure the return of Mr. Wheler ; and bere lot us state once for all, that we do not implicate the party in whose in- terests Mr. Wheler was running in the political frauds connected with the contest, it is neither their inter est nor desire, ro more than it is | thut of the Conservative party, to aid and abbet in such frauds as se- cared for Mr. Wheler the short lived, move than doubtful honor of gain- ing the suffrages of soimportanta riding as that of North Ontario.-- But while we fully exonorate from all blame the good and true of tho narty we cannot find language suf. ficiently strong lo expyess our utter detestation and loathing of those miserables by whose damnable plots and iniqui intrig the purchasabl portion of the electors Was. bought like brutes in the shambles ; and gil honor to W.
