OSBORN, Clerk & Treasurer Manawatu, County Council. Foxton, Manawatu. Memoeandttm No. 682. , Provincial Audit Office, Wellington, 30th Octoberj 1877 V The Provincial Auditor has the honour, m accordance with the requirements of " The Counties Act, 1876," to return to you herewith the Books and Accounts of the Manawatu County Council furnished to this office for examination and audit. : .7 Attention is directed to the provisions contained m clause 155 of the Coun? ties Act with regard to the overdrawal of the County Fund Account, which require that "the amount of such overdrafts, shall never at any time exceed the total amount of receipts of the County Fund, during the year ended on the 31st day of March previous." No moneys (with the exception of a/transfer of license fee of two pounds sterling) having been collected by the Council up to the 31st March, it would appear that no overdraft could legally have been .incurred, and that therefore Councillors are personally responsible under, clause 156 for any moneys which may have been illegally borrowed and for payment of any interest which may accrue upon such illegal overdraft.
