In the management of municipal afiairs, there should be (tem- pered with prudi'iiee and caution) a hold and comprehensive ])olicy pursued; in each case, looking to the welfare of the whole municipal community, in the fut'.re as well as the present. DEBENTURES. A very important matter in the management of municipal affairs, is the governing of the debenture debt ; both as regards its amount and niatu)ity, and the value and durabilit}^ of what has been procured thei'eby. DvAvr. — It is often wiser and more economical, to incur a large debt for durable works of great utility, than to keep down the debt at the sacrifice of other important considerations. At the saujo time, while judicious expenditure, that can only be aecom- plished by borrowing, is conunendable, the amount of debt should be watched and adjusted so that it may not g^ow beyond the limits of prudence or justice. Powers. — When debentures are issued, they should never be made payable at a date beyond the time when the works thus paid for are expected to l)e worn oiit, renewed, or replaced. Permanent works which might last for centuries, the construc- tion of which might be the truest eccmoniy, should in my opinion be the occasion of debenture issues at very long dates. I am of opinion, that, there should be no restriction as to date of payment of debentures issued for permanent works, pro- vided that it be within the probable life of the work There is a vast ditterence between the most indestructible and the most perishable of public works ; and almost all shades of difierence between the two extremes. Many improvements may very pro- perly be the occasion of debenture debt, with great financial advantage, and yet not warrant deferring redemption, even for twenty years. On no account should permanent debentures be issued by any municipality, unless and until, perman(>nt or everlasting works have been acquired to an equivalent value. Deben- tures issued for payment of land purchased for a public park, may be made permanent, not only with i)rudence and i)ropriety, but with the greatest possible attending beneht to the community. I assume, that, as a matter of common sense, legal restrictions will bo enacted governing the issue of permanent debentures This buing done of course property so purchased, will bo required to be permanently and untransferably vested in the miuiicipality; unless and until power of salo given to the holders of the deben- tures is exercised, owing to non-payment of interest. Tluis the painful and shameful calamity can never happen to the inhabitants of seeing their city cases encroached upon until they grow into nothingness. The amount expended in transforming the natural Irnd into a beautiful park, may justly and quite properly bo added to the amount of debentures made permanent, to the extent of the value of the improvements that are permanent. More latitude can be allowed in the case of land, than in any other investment, because, in cities, the old saying, " res crescunt," is usually apj)lic- able to the value of land. The purchase of land of any kind by a municipality may and should be the occasion of the issue of permanent debentures. Justice to the rate-payers demands it. Nothing but land, unless there could be a municipal monopoly of air or water should be purchased with the proceeds of perma- nent debentures. Buildings constructed of blocks of granitoid stone, adhered to each other by thin layers of cement instead of mortar, on an indubitably solid foundation, which might last for many centuries, might at first siglit seem to warrant the issue of permanent debentures for their construction. It is far better, how- ever, to make the debentures payable at some verj' long date, as nothing can be absolutely everlasting but the land. The date of payment may, however, be so far remote as to reduce the annual sinking fund to a comparative trifle. To produce $700,000 at the end of 100 years, only requires a Sinking Fund of $5G5.60 per annum invested at 4 per cent., payable yearly ; or $268.20 per annum invested, at 5 per cent., payable yearly. 4 The principle governing the date of payment, in justice to the ratepayers, both of the future and tlie present, should be, as far as is possible, to make the period during which interest and sinking fund are being paid, agree with the period during which the iidiabitants or owners for the time bring are enjoying tiio results of the applieation of the funds borrowed. A careful con- sidei'ation of what I have said will convince the hearer or reader that, if the ])rineiples I have enunciated be strictly adhered to, this result will be accomplished as nearly as the mists which veil t^ie future will atlmit of. ExEKcrsE OF P(JWERS. — Should any municipality have become involved to an extent roth receipts and , yments in tho same volume. Tho convenience in use and durin- audit is strikingly apparent. Tho vohnne for receipts should, in addition to the date column and that for describing the entry, which for ccmvenience we will call 1 and 2, Ijo >{irovided with the following : proceeding to the right. 3. Ledger folio for items posted separately. 4. Such items. 5. A few blank columns for new sources of revenue arising with frequent transactions, or for unexpected increase of trans- actions, in accounts not pre-supposed to require separate columns. G. A separate column for each source of revenue kept separate in the ledger, the transactions concerning which are frequent dur- injj the month. These columns must embrace, as the last to the right hand, an exact repetition of the tax columns in the collector's cash books. 7. Total amounts received daily from collector. This column shews simply the addition of the tax columns, but is necessary in case that, from press of business, tho collector cannot at the moment of payment, exhibit the component parts of his receipts. It serves as an exhibit of collector's account. It should be dis- tinguised from all other columns, say by perpendicular lines of ink of a different colour from the rest. There should be in this column a sub-column, for the number and folio of collector's cash book. 24 8. As many columns as are necessary for bank deposits, with a date column to each ; or, if necessary, to economise space, one (late column lor the whole. These should he to the extreme right, except a margin if the paper will admit of it. The volume for paj'ments should have colunms arranged in the following order ; proceeding from left to right : 1. Number of voucher. 2. Cheque numbers. 3. Cash columns for tlie cheques on each bank account separately. 4. Cheques cashed by the treasurer for petty or other payments. o. Such payments made by treasurer from proceeds of such cheques. These two columns should be enclosed by perpendicular lines of a different colour from the rest. All the payments, of course, should be extended in the proper columns for posting, and all the cheques in the proper bank columns. The total expenditure deducted from the bank cheques, exhibits the cash which the treasurer should have on hand, while the repeated items in the treasurer's column deducted from the repeated cheques, shows the same balance. C. Date. 7. Description of the entry. 8. Ledger folio for items posted separately. 9. Such items. 10. As many columns as there are ledger accounts, the items of which occur constantly during the month. 11. A few blank money columns for new accounts not foreseen, concerning which transactions may be frequent. VOUCHERS. The most convenient way of numbering vouchers, is, to adopt, in every instance, the number of the cheque. If there be a number of payments made from the proceeds of one choque, such as disbursements by the treasurer in money out of the proceeds of a cheque in his favour, the vouchers should bo sub-numbered, with the prefix of the number of the cheque. Should a number of cheques be issued, the receipts for which are covered by one voucher, such as that of the officers' pay roll or otherwise, the voucher should carry the several cheque numbers. If there be 25 more than one bank account, there is nothing to prevent as many series of vouchor numbers as there are bank accounts. There should be an index to vouchers — a complex index for ready reference. A large number of vouchers can be indexed under classitied groupings. Many will be for regular perioc^ical payments, against the classifica cion of which in the index, it will be sufficient to record, "monthly," "weekly," &c., without further posting. All vouchers for payments on r-ccount of contracts, or for goods purchased, and the like, should be indexed under the name of the individual, firm, or company to whom the payment is due. The treasurer should not pay any money, or deliver ary cheque, without receiving a voucher reciting full particulars concerning the payment, even though there be only one item, or that the cheque be made payable to oi'der. On making any payment, the last voucher from the same party or parties should always be referred to, to make sure that the same item is not charged more than once. Every voucher should have recoi'ded on it the number of the last one received from the same party. PAY-ROLLS. There should be as manj' pay-rolls (or more properly speaking pay-registers) as there are ]iay-niasters. If, ior instance, the wao-es certified to by the city engineer, or any other head of a department, are paid out by several clerks, each party paying the wages and taking the receipts, should be supplied with a separate pay-roll and the proceeds of a separate cheque. The separate pay-rolls must, of course, be made out in such a way as to enable each workman to know who to apply to for his wages. The pay-rolls should, in every instance, be books ; never on any account should loose or unbound sheets bo used. There should be, to the extreme left hand, a column for the folio of the time book or other record from which the wages are made up. If there be no time register, other than the time books of the foremen, column 1, should be wide, and the name of each foreman respectively should be recorded. r 26 W 2. Desijxnation of the work on which the labour has been Ijestowed. 3. Designation of the accounts to which it is to be charged. 4. Name of labourer. 6. A column for each day intervening between pay days for recording daily time — that is, if there be no separate general time register, also a column for the total number of days' work, or this latter column only if there be a time register. 6. Rate of wages per day. 7. Amount of wages due ; 8. Totals, per ledger accounts. 9. Signatures acknowledging receipt 10. Remarks. Note here that remarks should never be written in the column for signatures. There should remain a blank against every amount, the receipt of which is not acknowledged. If paid and not acknowledged, the fact can be recorded in the column for remarks, and the signature obtained at first opportunity. 11. As many money columns as there are ledger accounts affected by the payments. The wages, after being made up and duly checked and certified to by the engineer and other heads of departments, respectively,^ should be extended in the classified money columns and added up. As I said, a separate cheque should be made out for each roll. This should be made payable to the order of the officer responsible, no matter who he may justly and properly entrust with the paying of the wages. Such responsible officer should sign a receipt for each cheque to his order, reciting therein : For week ending pay-roll folio This cheque should be entered in the cash book, and also the totals of the classified columns of the pay-roll, as the details of the expenditure covered by such cheque, before the cheque passes out of the hands of the treasurer. Should it happen that any wages ai'e unclaimed by the time that the next cheque is issued under the same pay-roll, the unclaimed amounts should be deducted from the new totals of all the columns affected, and the cheque issued for the balance of cash required, and so on continuously. If it be thought preferable, or more strictly correct, to record unclaimed wages as a liability, the amount not applied for may 27 be returned to the treasurer in cash and credited to " unclaimec^l DEBENTURE REGISTER. wages. A properly prepared and carefully kept debenture register is of great importance. Not only does it serve purposes of ready refer- ence as to debenture debt, but also as regards nlaturit3^ Nor is this all. It should exhibit such information as will effectually prevent the necessity for keeping separate ledger accounts for each issue of debentures and each relative sinking fund. The debenture register should have the following columns, com- mencing from the left hand : 1. Number of by-law. 2. Date. 3. Number of years to run. 4. The work for which they are issued. 5. Debenture numbers, singly, one on each line, no matter how small each debenture or how numerous the whole issue. 6. The sterling amount of each debenture payable in sterling, ruled for pounds, shillings, and pence, 7. The currency amount of each debenture payable in currency, ruled for dollars and cents. 8. Total in sterling of sterling debentures. 9. Total in currency of currency debentures. 10. Rate of interest payable. 11. Yearly sinking fund to bo provided. This should l)e ruled for rate of interest at which the sum is computed, and for the annual amount. 12. Where payable. 13. When due — day, month, and year. 14. When interest is payable — day and two months. 15. Twelve columns, one for each month in the year; each divided into three : 1. Year of maturity. 2. Sterling amount of interest payable in sterling. 3. Currency amount of interest pay- able in currency. 16. When paid and cash book folio. If the number of debenture issues of a municipality are small and not likely to increase much, the space can be curtailed and a ! 1 28 smaller book used, by substituting for columns numbered 15, twelv j narrow single columns, one for each month of the year, in which to insert the years of maturity, and say " Int." in the months in which the principal and interest mature respectively. If all interest be made payable on the same two days in each year, and all principal on the same day in the respective years, columns numbered 15 will not be required at all ; 13 will only require one colunm for year of maturity, and for 14, two columns substituted for amount of sterling and currency interest respect- ively. , Whenever any debentures are paid, other than as investment of sinking fund, the total amount paid should be deducted from the running grand total of debentures issued. The amount of yearly sinking fund in respect of such debentures paid, must also be deducted from the grand total of yearly sinking fund. The interest thus ceasing must also be deducted from the grand totals of interest payable. The totals of the debenture I'egister will, thus, always shew the debenture debt and the annual sinking fund required. It must always be remembered that debentures redeemed before maturity by investment of sinking funds, must never be thus written off until they mature, as [)ointed out under the heading of sinking fund. Local debentures may either be recorded in a separate part of the same register, or in a separate volume. JOURNAL. With regard to the journal, I can only say what every expert will at once endorse, that the entries shouli be no more than are unavoidable. As a rule, the introduction of the rates levied into the ledger, the correction of errors, and the closing of the accounts, embrace all the entries that should find a lodgment in this most essential but most abused medium of effecting ledger entries. LEDGER. The ledger of a municipality is, of course, no exception to the general rule. There should be no more accounts opened, than are necessary for purposes of management, the exhibiting of results 29 1 and convenient adjusting of the various transactions. A balance sheet taken from the ledger, should at all times show, in a concise form, the salient points regarding the working and financial position of the municipality. As it is necessary that a ledger should show all assets and liabilities, as well as receipts and expenditure ; I have no hesita- tion in asserting, that, so soon as the collector's rolls are completed l)v the clerk, and before they are handed over to the collector, the treasurer should make a journal entry, charging the various tax accounts with the rates assessed and crediting, say, " assess- ment account " with the total. Whenever a minute is passed by the council authorizing the writing olf of taxes known to be irrecoverably lost, the treasurer should make a joui-nal entry charging " assessment account," and creditino- the various tax accounts in detail. Cash receipts should, of course, be credited to the various tax accounts as received. Cash payments to school trustees, county treasurers, and so forth, should be chaiged direct to them as if personal account s. In the same way, the expenditure of money received on local assessments, must be charged to the woi'k or expense for which the tax is raised. At the end of the year, school trustees, county treasurer, and local expenses, &c., are all credited with the respective amounts actually realized; sinking fund is credited with the necessary amount, and revenue with the balance available. The whole is charged to assessment account. The l)alance remaining at the credit of " assessments," will then exactly balance with the several amounts of uncollected taxes at the debit of the various tax accounts. These will also exactly agree with the arrears brought forward in tlie new rolls. With regard to debentures, I am in favour of one account in the ledger for general debentures, and one for local, with two corres- ponding sinking funds. The register should supply all the details that arc necessary. The amounts credited to sinking fund, and all interest earned thereon, must remain at the credit of the fund ; and no debit whatever be made until debentures fall due and are paid. As each issue of debentures is paid, of course the cash payment of the whole issue, is charged to the debenture account. '' 1 30 Immediately the payment is effected, an entry must be made charging sinking fund and crediting capital account with the portion of the sinking fund which has been accumulated in res- ])ect of such debentures, which should be the amount of the del)entures. The investments of the money at credit of sinking fund, must of course, be charged to the debtors under such investments. The interest may, and most properly should, in the first instance as received, be credited to the debtor's accounts to exhibit how they stand ; but on closing tlio books each year be carried to credit of the sinking fund. When the principal of these investments is collected, it will of course be credited to the debtors respectively. When the sinking fund moneys are all invested in redemption of the debentures, the investments will be comprised in one account, say "sinking fund debentures," which will have to be treated precisely the same as though the nmnicipality was the debtor. There should be a separate ledger account for every permanent work. These should all be in the same part of the ledger. They should appear on the balance sheet, monthly as well as yearly, in the margin ; extended in one sum. Assets of any kind, provided for and jiaid out of the current revenue, should be charged to, and remain at the debit of suitably designated accounts, intelligibly setting forth the nature of such assets. The amounts so paid, must be charged to revenue and credited to capital, at the end of the year. It is well, in the headings of the ledger account for works, to state " under by-law No. debentures issued for 8 on such a date." When debentures issued at tiie same date under the same by-law, cover more than one work; it should be added, "of which 8 for this work." Capital account should be charged, and the various works credited, at the close of each year, with the amount of depreciation in value, so as to reduce the amount at the debit of each work to '■•!' Jion actual value. ., >.i.i''s should be charged to each work respectively, ad-interim, ) u ' itton ott if the increased value does not wai-rant the addition, ; oh thereof as is necessary to reduce the total amount at debit uj the actual value. im 31 Ward accounts should also be togetner in the same part of the ledger. They may be extended separately or together on the balance sheet. Each ward should be charged with the expendi- ture specially arranged to be incurred out of the general taxes. At the end of the year, each waid should be credited with its l)roper ])ropoition of the surplus taxes including such expendi- ture, closing revenue account; leaving the actual expenditure so incurred, at the debit of the ward benetited, and its share only of the surj^lus taxes at its credit. In closing the books at the end of each year, interest should lie charged, and accrued interest credited, with the amount of interest accrued on debentures but not due or not paid to date. Innnediately after the closing of the books, this entry should be reversed. With regard to expenses : it is worse than useless to have an unlimited nund)er of accounts opened, as is the practice ahuost universally. The council should carefully and deliberately consider in consultation with the officer who keeps the accounts, what expenses should be i-ecorded separately for economic puryyoses. A system should be arranged by which the balance sheet will exhibit at a gjance the totals sought to be known. A column ledger greatly facilitates the exhibiting (jf such detailed inforn.ation as the council or ratepayers may desire. The fewer the accoimts the better, and the less sub-divi- sion there is, the greater is the attention paid to the items. The ledger accounts should be only such as are absolutely necessary to shew a distinction between the expenses arising from vai-ying circumstances. For instance, salaries, miscellaneous expenses, incidental expenses, donations and relief, all these are governed by a separate set of circumstances respectively, and the totals should be shown on the balance sheet. For convenient analysis, however, salaries may be divided in the marginal cohnnns of the ledger into departments : such as city olfices, city engineer's department, assessment and licence connnissioners, or any sub- •livision to suit the fancy. Expenses might be sub-divided into " Rent, fuel, and light," " Printing, advertising, and stationery," and so forth, the fewer the better. So with incidental expenses and donations. i 32 STATEMENTS. If the ledger l)e properly kept, the statements will partake of the same systematic charaetor. In exhibiting receipts and expenditure, the details, as far as are necessary to digest the transactions in a lucid manner, should l»e noted in the margin, and the totals so extended as to show a brief condensed epitome of the whole. For instance, expenditure should Lo extended in totals, with a view to exhibiting at a glance the salient points, such as " Annual expenses," " Incidental expenses," "Repairs," "Improvements," "Public works," "Buildings," "Land," " Sinking Fund Investments," and so forth. Liabilities and assets should be dealt with in a similar way. MINUTES. All minutes should l;»e indexed umler the designation of head- ings or references. The comptroller, or auditor, as the case may be, should have power to alter such headings or references, so as to express more clearly, if necessary, the nature and bearing of every minute, and to see that the corresponding alteration, if any, in each case, is duly made in the index. TABULAR COMPUTATIONS. It is of the utmost importance that all those who have to deal with the question of debentuio issues, should be in possession of full information, in the most convenient form, as to the equal amounts required to be levied annually, to pay off both Principal and Interest. Sinking Fund Tables. — I have already drawn attention to the advantages to be gained by making the Debentures payable at the end of a suitable period of time, and investing the Sinking Fund in the redemption of the Debentures, by buying them up in the market. I have prepared with the greatest care, a table shewing the amount of Sinking Fund necessary to be set aside annually, to provide the required amount, at any rate of interest from 3 to 6 per cent, for any number of yeai's at the end of which Debentures are at all likely to be made payable. This Table shews in a single column, the annual Sinking Fund necessary ta- m 33 be invested at any of the above rates of Interest during each series of years, and enables the municipal financier, at a glance, to make any comparison of relative annual cost of works varying in value and durability. When it is decided that a specific issue of Deben- tures shall be submitted to the rate-payers for approval, this Table enables the clerk of the municipality to ascertain readily the amount of annual Sinking Fund to lie added to the Intei'est and recited in the by-law. Public comi)anies and private individuals pixichasing Debentures, and their solicitors, can also see by this Table whether proper provision has lieen made in the by-law for the necessary amount of Sinking Fund. IXSTALMKNT TABLES. — Small nuuucii)alitics frequently find it to 1)0 most prudent and convenient to make each issue of Deben- tures payable in yearly sums. When this is to be done, it is necessary to know what amount must be paid ofl" each year, in order that the Principal so paid, together with the Interest, shall each year amount to the same sum. I have tliei-efore added Tables shewing the exact amount of Interest and Principal re- spectiveh', payable each year, in order to reduce to an .eijual annual sum, the amount to be levied. This will be useful to Financiers and Clerks of municipalities issuing Debentures pay- able in that manner, and also to purchasers of such Debentures, and their solicitors precisely in the same way as is the Sinking Fund Tal)le in the case of Debentures payable at the end of a certain number of years. It has not been thought necessary to cai-ry these Tables below 4 per cent, nor to provide for smaller fractions than 1 per cent. On the other hand they have been extended to 7 per cent. They may thus prove acceptable to the public generally, as .shewing what annual amount will pay a debt of any kind with interest at highest current rates, and exactly how much of the debt will be paid off each year. In conclusion I have simply to say that I cordially invite correspondence from Municipal oflficers, either by way of inquiry or suggestion. WILLIAM POWIS, F. C.
