What is considered to be a record for local bodies in and around Christchurch has been created by the stall' of the Waimairi Count.? Council, which has produced the balance-sheet for the 1938-39 year with a week after the council's accounts closed, on March 31. A resolution congratulating the staff on its achievement was passed at a meeting of the council. '‘These are some of the most difficult accounts I have to look into, - ’ said Councillor 11. Kitson, who moved the resolution. “They are 50 times more difficult than any trading accounts, and without exception they are the most intricate accounts I deal with. There are very few trading concerns with half the accounts and half the turnover of the council which have their balance-; sheets out yet. I consider it a very good performance.” The chairman (Mr F. S. Scott) and Councillor C. E. Cross also congratulated the staff, for whom the County Clerk (Mr G. S. Cowper) replied.
