Lc WILLSON, Esg., MJL TORONTO: MooRB & Co., Printers, corner Scott and Colborne Streets. 1880. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in t'.ie year one thousand eight hundred and eighty, by Arthur Lawrence Willson, M.A. in the office of the Minister of Agriculture. T r I WIllSOH'S SERIES OF MUNICIPAL WORKS, ♦' Wiilson's Day Book, Cash Book and Ledger combined for Municipal and other purposes." This work is of great importance to Treasurers of Muni- cipalties, as only one Book is required and balances can be seen at a glance. The Ledger accounts are kept in vertical columns, .he upper portions of which represent the debit accounts and the lower portions of the same columns, the credit accounts, transverse columns being drawn acrosj the centre and bot- tom of each page for totals. For School Section accounts, the Book is invaluable, all the School accounts ol a Municipality can be opened on one page, and three or four pages will contain all the entries for a year — a special form is prepared for Sdiool Trustees. The Book is adapted for any business. The price of this work depends on the quantity and quality ot paper 'sed and the kind of binding required. Opinions of the Press. The new system of bookkeeping, kuown as " WiJlson's Day Book, Cash Book and Ledger Combined," for which A. L. Willson, M.A., has obtained a copyright in Canada and the United States, combines in one book all that is contained in a whole set of books, and is so extremely simple that every man can be his own bookkeeper. Each page contains a day book column, and from five to thirty vertical dollar and cents' columns, each oi which is numbered and represents a ledger account. About two-thirds of the upper portion of the page is devoted to debit accounts, where a transverse column for totals is drawn, the balance of the page forming the contra or credit account. Accompanying the book is a ledger index or key in which the names of customers or clients are entered alphabetically, and to each name is given a folio and number. When any transaction takes place between vendor and purchaser, the purchaser's name, folio, and number are entered in the index, and on the page so given the particulars of the transaction are entered and immediately posted in the vertical or ledger column numbered and set apart for such purchaser. If cash or its equivalent is received on account, an entry is made in the lower or credit portion of the page and posted in the same vertical or ledger column from which the balance can be found at a glance. All other accounts, such as cash, stock, merchandise, bills receivable, etc., are entered in the same nianner. By this method of using numbers, each account is strictly secret unless the ledger index or key is used. — The Telegram, January 23rd. 1880. " Wiilson's system of conducting the business of Municipal Councils." Under this system the business ot a Council is classified and printed. By-Laws are provided for each class contain- ing all the legislative matter, to which mav be readily added the various grants and decisions of the Council as they may respectively be agreed upon-^a much greater amount of work can be performed at each meeting without the mental labour usually required for the transaction of Municipal business, and at the same time all the acts of the Council are legal and binding — price of the system to each Council %2^. ■ - opinions of the Press. ' This little publication will be found of great use to members nf County, Township, and other Councils, as in it are laid down methods by which the business of meetings Cdn be got through much more spee dily, and at the same time more satisfactorily, than at present. By Mr. Willson's system all applications to a Council are required to be filed with the Clerk a reasonable time before each meeting. The Clerk classifies the work and furnishes each Councillor with a synopsis of the same, and in thi,- way sufficient time is gi\en for the due consideration of matters of importance before they are brought up in Council, and these cannot be sprung on a Council, as has sometimes oeen the case. All unfinished business contluues to appear on the "Business record" until disposed of. By-laws are prepared for each class of application, having all the legal and operative clauses printed, so that the decisions of a Council can be readily entered by the Clerk in the respective by-laws so soon as arrived at, thereby saving time and unnecessary labour on the part of the Councillors, and enabling them to devote all their attention to the ronsideration of questions before thum. Several important and valuable forms of special by-laws, &c., are appended to the work. Mr. Willson's system has been in use in the town- ship of York for one year, and the Council recently passed a resolution approving of it and pronouncing it complete. — Daily Globe, Jan, i6th, i88o. The author of this work is and has been for many years Clerk of the Township Council of York, and has in the course of his work seen the necsssity of reducing the business of Municipal Councils to a system, such as^ without involving any intricacies, would facilitate the work, and at the same time relieve the members from the task of preparing by-laws, resolutions, &c , while all their attention should be devoted to adjudicating upon various matters submitted to them. This is renderjd more necessary from the fact that the membership of Councils is continually changing, and without such aids as the present work the new members are put to much inconvenience from the want of experience. The directions given are very explicit, and the forms simple, and the work will no doubt prove a very acceptable aid to members of County and Township Councils and muni- cipal officers generally. — The Mail, January 15th, 1880. The above system has been and is still in use in the Council of the Township of York, since January 1879, and the following resolution was passed by said Council. *' Resolved, That this Council desires to express its hearty approval of the system furnished by A. L. Willson, M.A., our Clerk and Treasurer for conducting the business of the Council ; after six months' practical working of the system submitted, it has been found complete, and the thanks of this Council are hereby presented to Mr. Willion for his method at present in use in this Municipality." The large number of applications which have been received for the above System as a Book of By-Laws and the entire absence of any similar publication has induced the author to issue the present work which contains sixty By-Laws comprising the ordinary and most ot the special By-Laws and forms required by Municipal Corporations. With the assistance of this Book each member of a Council can prepare at hi? leisure sucli By Laws as he may rVpi're to introduce at any meeting and a careful perusal of the By- Laws and statutory references should prove advantageous not only to Councillors but to all those who may be interested in Municipal Officers.
