J. BLACK, Examined and passed as per Report. Treasurer Patea County. R. Macalisteb, Provincial District Auditor. 9th June, 1881. • Memorandum. It is observed that the Chairman to the Council drew salary at the rate of £50 per annum, also travelling expenses at 30s. per day (lately reduced to 205.) for each day during which he presided at the Council. The law provides that " The Council may from time to time vote such reasonable sums as it shall deem sufficient to defray the travelling expenses of Councillors coming from a distance to attend meetings of the Council. The Chairman resides in Patea, very near to the Council Chamber. No travelling expenses could therefore have been reasonably incurred in going to and from the Council Chamber to his residence. The total sum paid to the Chairman for travelling expenses during the year is stated to be £45 10s., which amount it is requested be refunded to the County Fund Account. Of course, if it can be shown that any part of this expenditure has been legally incurred in consequence of the Chairman having had to return to Patea, from any great distance which he may have been from it, to meet the Council, such part of the expenditure may be allowed. R. MACALISTER, Patea, 9th June, 1881. Provincial District Auditor.
