AUDITOR GFNFRAT WAKES HIS RFPORT Minister of Finance Tables Criticisms of Expenditures in House Ottawa, Feb, 3.--A detailed and comprehensive report of all ex- pendityres made hy the Govern- ment during the last fiscal year, with criti~al and constructive res- ervations is embraced in the renort of George Gonthier, auditor =en- eral, tabled in the House by the Minister of Finance. The auditor-general goes ex- haustively into the details of all the accounts of expenditure and rev- enne alike and also reproduces cor- respondence exchanged when from time to time certain expenditures were criticized. One of these was the payment to William Duff, M.P,, of salary as Deputy Speaker to March 31, 1927, although his pow- ers ceased on' December 2, 1926. The auditor claimed an over pay- ment of $1,193, Reference is also made to cases in which the value of living and residential allowances has not heen determined according to the act. The auditor expresses the view that upon questions where diverg- ence has arisen, "It is most de- sirable that the House should pass judgment, otherwise there is no direction." He notes that a sub- sidy, over-payment to Alberta of $460,750 some years ago is pot yet repaid. Mr. Gonthier notes 8 large im- orovement in the accounting for , Government stores and although some recently inspected were found unsatisfactory, recommendations for the elimination of loose meth- ods were generally adopted ready. The auditor states that "In fu- i ture, I intend citing each year un- |der the title of administration of : the Civil Service Act, all instances of Infractions or contraventions of the Civil Service Act whirh have come under my notice in connection with the examination of accounts." In the examination of some of the offices outside Ottawa, he notes that in all cases the regulations re- ~zarding attendance of employes were not observed. While the auditor states that im- provements have been made fin several respects, he strongly re- commends systematic inspeetion of Government outside offices by head office officials to bring about more effective control of revenue and ex- penditure. The report contains in detail 2 ! statement of every account paid or expenditure made in the fiscal year under review.
