PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1926

REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR-GENERAL. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1926, in terms of subsections (1), (2), and (3) of section 84 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, which is quoted hereunder, and which sets out in detail the several headings under which the Controller and Auditor-General is required to present his report to Parliament. " 84. (1.) The Treasury shall as soon as practicable after the end of every financial year prepare and send to the Audit Office a statement of the revenue and expenditure of the Public Account during that year. " (2.) The Controller and Auditor-General shall forthwith examine that statement, and prepare and sign a report showing — " (a.) The particulars of any discrepancies between such statement and the books of the Treasury: " (6.) Full particulars of every case in which the provisions of this or any other Act, or the regulations or any forms, have not been carried out or adopted, or have in any manner been varied or departed from : " (c.) Every case of failure to deliver or send in accounts or to collect or account for any moneys or stores : " (d.) All sums allowed or disallowed without vouchers or with imperfect vouchers or upon incorrect certificates : " (e.) Any proceeding that may have been taken by or against any person in pursuance of the provisions of this Act or the regulations : " (/.) Repealed. " (g.) All unsatisfied surcharges which have been made by the Controller and Auditor-General and all surcharges disallowed by a Minister on appeal : " (h.) In what accounts the Controller and Auditor-General has, with the consent of the Minister, dispensed with a detailed audit: " (i.) Such other information as may be prescribed, or as the Controller and Auditor-General thinks desirable. " (3.) The Controller and Auditor-General shall annex or append to the said report copies of all cases laid by him before the Attorney-General for his opinion, together with a copy of the opinion given in every such case." Section 84 (2) (a), Public Revenues Act. No discrepancies exist between the statement of the revenue and expenditure of the Public Account as presented in this report and the books of the Treasury. It may be explained that there is a continuous audit of such revenue and expenditure, and the figures in the statement are checked partly by reference to the books of the Treasury and partly by reference to special checking accounts kept in the Audit Office for this purpose. Most of the errors which occur are discovered in the course of this continuous audit, and are rectified from time to time during the year as they come under notice. Those errors which are not rectified in this manner but are discovered when the annual statements are being examined by Audit are brought under the notice of the Treasury, which makes the necessary alterations in the statements before they are finally submitted for the signature of the Controller and Auditor-General. Under this system of audit all discrepancies between the statement of revenue and expenditure and the books of the Treasury are eliminated before the statement is presented to Parliament.

Section 84 (2) (b), Public Revenues Act. The following are cases in which the provisions of Acts, regulations, &c„, have not been carried out, or have been varied or departed from: —- 1. Section 38 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, provides authority for the Treasury to invest any of the balances of the Public Account. It has for some time been the practice, when one or other of the accounts forming part of the Public Account was short of funds, to replenish such account by the issue of securities to another account, and the section has thus been used as a means of authorizing the obtaining of temporary loans by one account from another account. It appears that this use of section 38 goes beyond the powers of the section, which was apparently intended to authorize the investment of moneys in the Public Account, and not the obtaiuing of temporary advances by one account from another. The Solicitor-General has suggested that legislation be introduced authorizing one account to make temporary advances to another without the issue of securities, subject to the necessary safeguards, and thus remove the necessity for using the authority of section 38 for obtaining such temporary advances. It is understood that the Treasury proposes to recommend amending legislation accordingly, 2. Section 77 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, authorizes the Commissioners in London (appointed under section 72 of that Act), or any two of them, to issue an order for the payment of moneys out of the New Zealand Public Account, London. Such orders are required to be countersigned by the Audit Officer in London, and he has drawn my attention to the fact that in the absence of the High Commissioner from London it was practically impossible to obtain the signatures of two of the Commissioners as required by the Act, and that the bank had been in the habit of accepting the signature of one Commissioner only, the High Commissioner signing later, on his return to London. The Audit Officer was thus called upon to countersign documents which were not issued in accordance with the Act, and had no alternative but to do so. Representations were made to the Treasury on the matter, and subsequently, as a result, the Finance Officer in London has been appointed a third Commissioner, so that the difficulty of obtaining two signatures does not now arise, and the law is being complied with. 3. Under the provisions of the Greymouth and Hokitika High School Acts, 1883, one-half of the revenues from certain education reserves in the Westland District was required to be paid to the Greymouth High School Board and one-half to the Hokitika High School Board. Owing to a misinterpretation of the law these reserves were treated as coming within the provisions of the Education Reserves Act, 1908, and its amendments, and the revenues were erroneously credited to the Westland Provincial District Secondary Education Deposit Account and distributed as provided in the Education Reserves Act. By section 49 of the Reserves and other Lands Disposal and Public Bodies Empowering Act, 1925, all previous payments were validated. A portion of the revenues, however, was held by the Treasury for disposal under the Greymouth and Hokitika High Schools Acts, 1883. From these revenues certain administration charges had been deducted, and credited to the Lands and Survey vote on the assumption that the revenues were subject to the Education Reserves Act, 1908, which provides for the charging of administration expenses; but as there is no provision in the Greymouth and Hokitika High School Acts of 1883 enabling administration expenses to be charged, the deduction was contrary to law. As no appropriation was available against which a refund of the administration expenses could be charged, during last financial year the accounts could not be adjusted, but it is understood that steps will be taken to enable the adjustment to be made during the current year. 4. Section 27 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, indicates that the Consolidated Fund is not to include any separate account which by any Act is directed to form part of the Public Account. Section 119 (1) of the Coal-mines Act, 1908, and the corresponding section 109 of the Coal-mines Act, 1905, provide that there shall be a separate account within the Public Account to be called the State Coal-mines Account. Owing to an oversight this account has not, since its inception, been treated as a separate account outside the Consolidated Fund, as required by law, but as a separate account forming part of the Consolidated Fund. The Treasury has recently been asked by the Audit Office to treat the account as a separate account from the Ist April, 1926, on which date the Coal-mines Act, 1925, came into operation. I would point out that this departure from the provisions of the Act is merely a technical breach, the transactions in connection with State Coal-mines having been kept separate from those of any other account just as effectively as if the law had been fully observed. 5. Section 5 of the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908, provides that, upon being authorized by the GovernorGeneral in Council so to do, the Minister may raise by way of loan the sums authorized to be raised by any authorizing Act. An Order in Council dated 23rd March, 1925, was obtained under this section, giving authority for the raising under the State Advances Act, 1913, section 18 (2), for the business of the Advances to Settlers Branch of the State Advances Office, of any sum not exceeding in the financial year ending the 31st March, 1926, the sum of £5,000,000, after providing for the costs, charges, and expenses connected with the raising thereof. This Order in Council applied only to the year ending on the 31st March, 1926 ; and during April, 1926, the Treasury submitted revenue accounts crediting further loan-moneys to this loan. As no Order in Council for the year 1926-27 had been submitted to the Audit Office, the matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury. On the 22nd April, 1926, an Order in Council covering these loans was submitted, but as this Order in Council was dated 20th April, 1926, it appears that the moneys raised between the 31st March, 1926, and the 20th April, 1926, were raised without compliance with the conditions imposed by statute. No further action appears to be necessary. 6. Section 7 (2) of the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908, provides, in respect of moneys raised under that Act, that the costs, charges, and expenses incurred in raising the aforesaid moneys shall, without further appropriation than this Act, be charged to and paid out of the appropriate fund or account.

The question arose as to whether stamp duty on transfers of consolidated stock inscribed in London was covered by this section. As such stamp duty will be payable during the whole period of a loan up to the date of its maturity, it was held by the Audit Office that it could not properly be treated as an expense incurred in raising the loan, and therefore was not covered by the section referred to. Two points were involved, for if such expenditure is not an expense of raising the loan the amount could not be added to the loan authority and covered by a further loan under section 8 to cover charges and expenses, and, secondly, parliamentary appropriation would be needed to cover the amount of such expenditure. The matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, which pointed out in reply that the charges for stamp duty were very heavy during the first twelve months after the issue of a loan, and suggested that the stamp duty paid during that period might properly be deemed to be part of the cost of raising the loan. This view appeared to the Audit Office to be a reasonable one, and it was accordingly agreed that the stamp duty paid during the first twelve months after the raising of a loan should be capitalized as provided in the New Zealand Loans Act, but that subsequent expenditure of this nature should be treated as a charge against revenue. The expenditure subsequent to the first twelve months has therefore been allowed as a revenue charge in the appropriate account where such account received revenues, and has been charged against the Consolidated Fund as " unauthorized expenditure" in other cases. It is understood that the Treasury will propose legislation to provide the necessary parliamentary authority for charging such expenditure in future. It may be mentioned that in most cases the stamp duty is compounded when the loan is raised and paid in one sum for the full period of the loan. In these circumstances the Audit Office has always allowed the amount to be treated as an expense of raising the loan, and the points mentioned above arise only when the payments for stamp duty are spread over the whole period of the loan. 7. Section 2 (1) (c) of the Kauri-gum Industry Amendment Act, 1914, provides authority for the purchase and sale of kauri-gum. Section 4 (4) provides that the Minister of Finance may from time to time, without further appropriation than this Act, pay out of the Kauri-gum Industry Account all moneys that are required for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Act, and section 4 (5) states that there shall be paid into the Kauri-gum Industry Account all moneys received by the Crown in connection with the carrying-out of the provisions of this Act. In addition to the above provision, an item was taken under Subdivision No. II of the vote for the Department of Lands and Survey for £10,000 for the purchase of kauri-gum during the year 1925-26, and estimated recoveries in respect of this item were shown to the amount of £5,000. The Audit Office submitted the question as to the possible conflict between these two provisions for the purchase and sale of kauri-gum to the Crown Law Office, and the Solicitor-General was of the opinion that the two authorities could be used concurrently, the receipts from the sale of gum purchased from the Kauri-gum Industry Account being credited to that account, and the receipts from sale of gum purchased from the Lands and Survey vote being credited as credits-in-aid to that vote. This opinion was accepted, but could not be acted upon, as the stocks of gum purchased from the different accounts had not been kept separate, and therefore the proceeds could not be allocated to the relative accounts. As it was impossible to comply with the law, the Treasury stated that the payment of £10,000 from the Consolidated Fund would be treated as an advance to the Kauri-gum Industry Account, and all proceeds of the sale of gum would be credited to that account, and that amending legislation would be obtained to authorize this course of action. As this method of treatment appeared to comply as nearly as possible with the existing law, and at the same time considerably simplified the accounting necessary, the Audit Office agreed to the course suggested by the Treasury, on the understanding that an amendment of the law to provide the necessary authority would be asked for. 8. During the year a doubt arose as to the validity of certain conversions which had been made under section 3 of the New Zealand Inscribed Stock Act, 1917, which conversions involved a change in the terms of the loan, and seemed likely to affect the value of the security. An opinion was obtained from the Crown Law Office which showed that not only the conversions in question, but also other conversions previously effected, were contrary to the provisions of the Act. The matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, which agreed to discontinue the conversions which were not authorized, and to provide legislation validating such conversions as had been effected under a misapprehension as to the true meaning and interpretation of the Act. The Audit Office agreed, however, to pass certain conversions to which the Treasury was already committed, and which will be covered by the validating legislation which it is understood will be sought during the present session. 9. Section 5 of the State Supply of Electrical Energy Act, 1917, provides that the Minister shall cause full and faithful accounts to be kept in connection with each scheme established under this Act, and that every such account shall be so kept as to show (inter alia) the capital expenditure in connection with the scheme. In some cases it was found that the value of the capital assets had been written down in the books by charging the amount to the Depreciation Fund. There is no authority of law to charge against the Depreciation Fund any amounts other than the cost of repairing, replacing, or renewing the machinery, plant, buildings, and appliances used in connection with the scheme for which the fund is established, which charges against the fund are authorized by section 11 (4) of the Act. The charging of depreciation other than for repairs, renewals, and replacements against the Depreciation Fund has involved a departure from the law in two respects : firstly, it has prevented the accounts from disclosing the true capital expenditure in connection with each scheme, as required by section 5 (2) (a) ; secondly, it has involved a departure from the provisions of section 11 (4), which authorize the charging against the Depreciation Fund of the cost of repairs, replacements, and renewals only. I may say that there appears to be nothing in the law to prevent provision being made for

B.—l [Pt. ll].

depreciation other than for repairs, replacements, and renewals, should such provision be deemed necessary. To comply with the Act, however, it is not permissible that such depreciation in the case of capital assets should be written off the value of the assets in the books, nor is it permissible that it should be charged against the statutory Depreciation Fund, which is limited to repairs, replacements, and renewals. Any such provision should therefore be made by means of a special depreciation reserve. A further departure from the provisions of section 11 (4) has arisen from the fact that the Depreciation Fund, instead of being reserved for the purpose of meeting the cost of repairs, replacements, and renewals, as required by this section, has been utilized for purchasing capital assets of the various schemes. In effect it has been invested in the schemes. As a result the Depreciation Fund would not be available if called upon, and should heavy charges for repairs, replacements, or renewals arise it woidd probably be necessary to have recourse to fresh borrowing in order to meet them. Prior to the amendment of the law contained in section 15 (2) of the Finance Act, 1925, section 14 of the State Supply of Electrical Energy Act, 1917, required that the Depreciation Fund should be invested in Government securities, but such investment is now optional. It has been suggested to Audit that this amendment was intended to enable the utilization of the Depreciation Fund for the general purposes of the scheme (including the purchase of capital assets), which view could not be endorsed by Audit, and the Solicitor-General has since given an opinion to the effect that the section referred to contains no authority which would enable the Fund to be applied in this manner. It seems unlikely that Parliament intended to authorize a change in the law which might lead to such a position that there might no longer be an actual fund available when called upon to meet repairs, replacements, and renewals, but merely a book entry unsupported by realizable assets. The reserve might be sunk in purchasing capital assets of the various schemes which could not be realized when required, and the reserve would therefore not be available for the purposes for which it is specifically constituted. This would seem to defeat the whole purpose of constituting such a fund. It has also been found that the provisions of section 12 of the State Supply of Electrical Energy Act, 1917, have been departed from owing to a misinterpretatiou of the meaning of the law, the capital cost of the scheme at the beginning of the year having been taken as a basis for computing the appropriation for sinking fund though in the opinion of the Solicitor-General the capital cost at the end of the j'ear should have been taken. The Audit Office has asked that the changes in the accounts necessary to bring them into conformity with the law be made before they are again submitted for audit. 10. Section 33 (3) of the Samoa Act, 1921, authorizes the Minister of Finance, on the recommendation of the Controller and Auditor-General, to make temporary advances to the Samoan Treasury out of moneys available in the Public Account for the unauthorized expenditure of the New Zealand Treasury, but provides that all advances so made shall be repaid by the Samoan Treasury within six months after the making thereof. An advance of £2,000 was made under the above authority out of the Unauthorized Expenditure Account on the 16th March, 1925. On the 17th September, 1925, the Audit Office found that the provisions of section 33 (3) had not been complied with, the advance not having been repaid within a period of six months as required by that section. The matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, and the advance was repaid on the 30th September, 1925, and credited as a recovery on account of "unauthorized expenditure'' of previous years. 11. Under clause 3 of the New Zealand Reparation Estates Amendment Order, 1920, and clause 6 of the New Zealand Reparation Estates Amendment Order, 1924, provision was made for the Minister of External Affairs, under the authority of an Order in Council, to direct that moneys of the New Zealand Reparation Estates should be transferred to the Samoan Treasury. As the Reparation Estates are the property of New Zealand, and not of Samoa, it appeared to the Audit Office that the moneys of those estates ought not to be diverted to Samoa without the direct authority of Parliament, and that the provisions in the Reparation Estates Orders authorizing such diversion were therefore ultra vires. Representations were made on the matter, and the opinion of the Audit Office was supported by the Attorney-General. The Audit Office agreed to the continuance of the existing procedure on the understanding that confirmatory legislation would be introduced during the present session. 12. Section 16 (6) of the Main Highways Act, 1922, provides that there shall be credited to the Main Highways Construction Fund all moneys appropriated by Parliament out of the Public Works Fund for the purposes of main highways, being not less in any year than the sum of £200,000. No moneys were credited in terms of this section during the year ended 31st March, 1926, as, owing apparently to an oversight, no moneys were appropriated from the Public Works Fund for the purpose, and the moneys could not therefore be expended from that fund. Furtunately there were sufficient loan moneys available for the year without the £200,000 appropriation. It is understood that the matter will be adjusted by taking an appropriation during the current financial year of an amount sufficient to cover the contributions for the years 1925-26 and 1926-27. 13. Section 12 of the Stamp Duties Act, 1923, gives authority for allocating the revenue from " revenue stamps " between the various Departments to which the revenue belongs, but section 13 provides that all the revenue from " postage and revenue stamps " is to be deemed to be part of the revenue of the Post Office. As portion of the revenue from " postage and revenue stamps "is earned by various Departments other than the Post Office, the Treasury had allocated such revenue to the various Departments. The Audit Office, though in agreement with the principle of allocating to Departments, was forced to draw attention to the fact that such allocation was contrary to the express provisions of section 13 of the Act. At the request of the Treasury the Audit Office agreed to pass the allocations to the various accounts, on the understanding that legislation would be introduced providing authority for such allocations.

B.—l [Pt. ll].

14. Section 24 (2) of the Motor-vehicles Act, 1924, requires that an amount of Is. 6d. per license shall be deducted and paid into the Post Office Account to cover the expenses of administration. It was found that the whole amount was being paid to the Public Account, and that the administration expenses, instead of being paid to the Post Office Account as required by the Act, were being adjusted by a Treasury transfer. On the Audit Office drawing attention to the matter it was found that it would be inconvenient to deduct the amount for administration expenses as provided in the Act; and, as the departure from the law was merely a technical one and did not affect the final result, the Audit. Office agreed to pass the entries pending an amendment of the Act which it is understood will be brought down during the present session. 15. Section 383 of the Land Act, 1924, provides that all moneys received on account of leases of the Ellesmere Lake lands shall be paid into the Public Account to the credit of the Public Works Fund, and shall be applied in the manner and for the purposes set forth in subsection (2) of above section. Some three years ago it was found that no account had been kept which would enable the Audit Office to satisfy itself that these revenues had been used only for the purposes for which they were legally available. The matter was brought under the notice of the Treasury, which gave instructions that a special account giving the necessary information should be drawn up. This has now been done, but it appears that the requirements of section 383 (2), which states that these revenues shall be applied firstly in repayment of the expenses of survey and administration of the said lands, have not in the past been fully carried out, no payment having been made in respect of administration expenses. Arrangements have been made that administration expenses shall be charged against these revenues for the future. The Treasury Department has expressed the opinion that no retrospective charge should be made for administration expenses, and in view of the difficulty of arriving at the amount of such expenses in connection with this account, which covers a period of nearly fifty years, the Audit Office has expressed its agreement with this view. 16. Certain provision was made in section 22 of the Finance Act, 1924, regarding the travellingexpenses of members of the General Assembly, and last year the Act was amended, but the amendment limited the provisions in the 1924 Act to steamer passages only. As the homes of certain members of the General Assembly were situated at long distances from ports motor conveyance had to be used, and there was found to be no legal authority therefor. The Audit Office, however, agreed to pass these expenses on being advised of the decision by Cabinet to so amend the Act as to authorize payments of the nature referred to. 17. Section 5 (1) (a) of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1925, provides for the payment out of the Working Railways Account into the Consolidated Fund of interest " on the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways." For the purposes of the above section the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways was fixed by clause 4 of an Order in Council gazetted on the 4th Ma.rch, 1926. The amount so fixed did not include the following items of expenditure : — (1.) Such charges and expenses of raising moneys by way of loan for the purposes of railwayconstruction and additions to open lines as were incurred prior to the Ist April, 1925. (2.) The amount expended as Public Works administration and supervision charges prior to the Ist April, 1925, in respect of the construction of railways. (3.) The amount expended, whether prior to or subsequent to the Ist April, 1925, during the construction of railways, as interest on loan-moneys raised and expended on railways while under construction, and before such railways became a Government railway open for traffic within the meaning of the Government Railways Act, 1908. As such expenditure was incurred during or in respect of the construction of the railways, and was therefore part of the actual cost of the construction of the railways, it appeared to the Audit Office that the amount of such expenditure formed part of " the total amount of capital moneys expended in respect of the railways," as defined in the Act, and that it was therefore a departure from the provisions of the statute to omit such expenditure when fixing the amount of the capital moneys expended in respect of the railways. This opinion was supported by the Crown Law Office; but, as the Audit Office was informed that the inclusion of such expenditure was contrary to the desire and policy of the Government, it agreed to pass the entries on the basis fixed by Cabinet and set forth in the Order in Council, subject to the obtaining of legislation validating the exclusion of the items referred to above. I may explain that the railways are constructed by the Public Works Department out of the Public Works Fund, the interest during construction being charged to the Consolidated Fund. On the completion of a railway (or portion of a railway) it is handed over to the Railways Department and becomes a Government railway open for traffic. The cost of the railway is then taken on charge as capital expenditure by the Railways Department, which pays interest on the amount of such expenditure, but in fixing such cost the above charges are not included. Section 84 (2) (c), Public Revenues Act. The following statement, showing every case of failure to deliver or send in accounts or to collect or account for moneys or stores, is supplied in terms of the above section of the Public Revenues Act, 1910 : — Failure to account for £909 18s. 4d., made up of various items of revenue received and imprest moneys, led to the prosecution of an officer of the Public Works Department, who was sentenced to eighteen months' reformative detention and dismissed from the Service. The amount will require to be written off with the sanctionof Parliament.

Failure to account for £183 10s. lid. by an officer of the Public Works Department resulted in this amount being lost to the State. The officer is now deceased, and there is no chance of recovering the amount, which will require to be written of! with the sanction of Parliament. Remittances in respect of a departmental publication, and other moneys totalling £28 16s. Id., were stolen from inward letters by a cadet in the Department of Agriculture, who disappeared. The amount will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. Draughting-instruments of the value of £4 10s. were pawned by a cadet in the Lands Department. He was dismissed from the Service. The instruments were recovered. The theft of £11 7s. in bank-notes and postal notes from letters led to a messenger in the Post and Telegraph Department being placed on probation for two years and ordered to make restitution. Dismissed from the Service. The theft of numerous postal packets resulted in a messenger employed by the Post and Telegraph Department being placed on probation by the Supreme, Court for three years. No loss of money occurred. Dismissed from the Service. The theft of £342 17s. 9d. resulted in an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department being committed to the Supreme Court. He was sentenced to two years reformative treatment. Dismissed from the Service. The amount will require to be written of! with the sanction of Parliament; Failure to account for £11 12s. received by an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department led to his being sentenced in the Supreme Court. Dismissed from the Service. The amount will require to be written of! with the sanction of Parliament. Failure to account for £15 occurred in the Post and Telegraph Department in circumstances in which there was insufficient evidence to warrant any officer being charged with theft. The loss will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. An officer of the Post and Telegraph Department was sentenced to reformative treatment for the theft of £165 by means of forgery and failure to account for £40. He was dismissed from the Service. The amount will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. Failure to account for £20 received by him led to an ex-officer of the Post and Telegraph Department being charged with theft of the sum named. In the Supreme Court a jury returned a verdict of " Not guilty." The loss will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. The theft of a letter containing a 10s. bank-note resulted in a cadet employed by the Railway Department being placed on probation for three years. No loss occurred to the Department. Dismissed from the Service. The theft of a number of postal packets led to a message-boy employed by the Post and Telegraph Department appearing before the Juvenile Court and being admitted to probation for a period of three years and ordered to refund the amounts stolen. Dismissed from the Service. Failure to account for £80 14s. 2d. received by him led to an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department being sentenced to reformative detention. Restitution was made. Dismissed from the Service. Failure to account for £144 17s. Bd. received by an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department led to a sentence of twelve months' reformative detention. Restitution was made. Dismissed from the Service. For the theft of postal packets from which he abstracted £2 os. 6d. a message-boy employed by the Post and Telegraph Department was ordered to come up for sentence when called upon at any time within two years. Restitution was made. Dismissed from the Service. For the alleged theft of £71 lis. Id. an officer holding the position of tablet-porter and Postmaster appeared before the Court at Dunedin on the 25th June. He was admitted to probation for three years. Dismissed from the service. Theft of letters resulted in an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department being sentenced to two years' detention in a Borstal institute. Restitution was made. Dismissed from the Service. Failure to account for £43 19s. 9d. received by an officer of the Railway Department led to nstructions to prosecute being issued. He was admitted to probation for two years. The amount has been refunded and the officer dismissed from the Service. Theft of sums amounting to £1 12s. 3d. representing revenue led to the dismissal of a cadet from the Railway Department. Restitution will be made. Failure to account for £60 Is. 7d. was revealed as a result of a departmental inspection of station accounts, Railway Department. The officer responsible is deceased, and restitution was made by his representatives. The theft of a number of postal packets has been admitted by an officer of the Post and Telegraph Department, and he will be charged with the offences in due course. Prosecutions of twelve pensioners for offences against the various Pensions Acts were instituted by the Pensions Department, and in all cases convictions were entered against the offenders. The sum of £143 19s. 10d., representing wages of employees held overnight by an officer of the Lands Department, was stolen from the departmental safe in his house. The matter is in the hands of the police. A person who was not employed in the Service was admitted to probation for twelve months for theft of a postal packet. Two persons not in the employment of the Government fraudulently obtained £1,110 from the Post Office Savings-bank. One was sentenced by the Supreme Court to detention at a Borstal institute for a period not exceeding three years, and the other ordered reformative detention not exceeding twelve months. A sum of £1,028 was recovered by the police, and the remainder will be made good by the officers whose failure to carry out the regulations made the fraud possible.

By means of forgery £80 was obtained from the Post Office Savings-bank by a person wlio cannot be traced. The amount lost will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. A person not in the Service attempted by means of fraud to obtain £160 from the Post Office Savings-bank. He was sentenced by the Court to two years' imprisonment. Burglars broke into four railway-stations and stole cash aggregating £1 ss. and some tickets. The amount stated will require to be written ofi with the sanction of Parliament. For stealing sums totalling £10 from a number of registered packets in transit a nonpermanent Postmaster was convicted and sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. The loss will require to be written off with the sanction of Parliament. By means of forgery a person not employed in the Service obtained £30 from a savings-bank account. He was convicted and sentenced at the Auckland Supreme Court to eighteen months' hard labour. On his arrest £10 6s. 3d. was recovered, and the remainder will require to be made good by the departmental officers who failed to exercise reasonable care in handling the transaction. For the theft of postal packets a message-boy not employed by the Department was convicted at Christchurch and placed on probation for two years. He was also ordered to make restitution. The theft of a £10 bank-note from a letter entrusted to him for registration at the Wanganui Post-office led to a lad who was not connected with the Post Office in any way being convicted and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Restitution was made. Two platinum dishes and two crucibles, valued at £100, were stolen from the Dominion Laboratory The police have been unable to trace the articles or detect the culprits. The value will require to be written ofi with the sanction of Parliament. Three platinum dishes, valued at £75, were stolen from the Chemical Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture. The police have not been able to trace the articles or detect the culprits. The value will require to be written ofi with the sanction of Parliament. The fraudulent withdrawal of £300 from a Post-office Savings-bank account led to the arrest of a person in Melbourne who is not connected with the Service. He will be brought to New Zealand and charged with the offence. Arising out of the failure in delivery of a letter containing a 10s. postal note, a lad not employed in the Service was convicted of theft and placed on probation for two years. Section 84 (2) (d), Public Revenues Act. A schedule of all sums allowed or disallowed without vouchers or with imperfect vouchers or upon incorrect certificates is appended to this report. Section 84 (2) (e), Public Revenues Act. A list of cases in which proceedings have been taken in pursuance of the Public Revenues Act or regulations thereunder will be found under paragraph 84 (2) (c) above. Section 84 (2) (g), Public Revenues Act. There are no surcharges imposed by the Controller and Auditor-General remaining unsatisfied nor have any surcharges been disallowed during the year by the Minister on appeal. Section 84 (2) (h), Public Revenues Act. It became necessary to make certain transfers during the year from the Consolidated Fund to the Working Railways Account in terms of section 4, subsection (1) (d), of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1925, and a detailed audit was, with the consent of the Minister of Finance, dispensed with in respect to the year under review. Arrangements have, however, been made for an independent audit for the future, as the departmental internal check which has been in operation in the past is not considered sufficient for the verification of the amounts which may become payable from the Consolidated Fund under the authority of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1925. Section 84 (2) (i), Public Revenues Act. Stores Audit. During the period under review 150 Store Accounts of various Departments have been examined and reported on, and in addition the ledgers and accounts connected with the Naval Service have also been dealt with. The results disclose a marked improvement in care, custody, and accounting for stores and Government property since the date of my last report. Stores Rules for the guidance of officers have been compiled by the following Departments (in some cases the rules are not yet issued but are in a well-advanced state) : Agriculture, Audit, Customs, Education, External Affairs, Government Life Insurance, Industries and Commerce, Internal Affairs, Immigration, Justice, Labour, Land and Income Tax, Lands and Survey, Legislative, Mental Hospitals, Mines, Native, Native Trust, National Provident, Prisons, Post and Telegraph, Police, Printing and Stationery, Pensions, Public Service Superannuation Board, Public Trust, State Forest, State Advances, State Fire Insurance, Stamp Duties, Valuation.

I may make special mention of the Mental Hospitals Department, which during the year has been most active in its endeavours to bring all its stores to charge, with the result that plant and materials to the value of over £40,000 have already been brought to charge and will appear as an asset in the next balance-sheets. In the Agriculture Department considerable improvement has been effected in the system for accounting for stores and free issues. In the case of the Education Department satisfactory progress has been made in the stores accounting system. Considerable reduction has also been made in the stocks, which have been reduced from £54,344 in 1922 to £13,000 in 1926. The Mines Department has not yet published its new rules, but preliminary instructions issued by the Department have produced good results. The latest Audit reports show that there has been improvement in connection with the Store Accounts at the coal-mines. With regard to the Prisons Department I have to comment that the departmental instructions issued and action taken throughout the year have been most effective. The Department has now a good system in operation. New rules are in course of preparation in the Post and Telegraph Department. I may say that this Department has had a most difficult task in carrying out Audit and Treasury requirements. The results to date have exceeded Audit expectations. Good progress has been made by the Printing and Stationery Department, and the system introduced leaves little to be desired. As regards the Public Works Department, departmental forms and the internal system of check in connection with stores have been revised, and instructions have been issued which have proved beneficial. The Railways Department Board has requested that the compilation and issue of revised rules be held over until the reorganization of the Department is completed. The State Forest Department has made very good progress. A system of cost accounting is now in operation. In pursuance of the terms of section 65, Public Revenues Act, a surcharge was issued against an officer of the Government in respect of a sum of £17 9s. 6d., representing the value of stores supplied to him from a departmental store. The. amount was duly paid to the Public Account. Motor-cars. During the year a special committee was appointed by the Government to consider the standardization of methods of recording the running and maintenance cost of motor-vehicles. Special forms were drawn up and full instructions were issued. As the system has only been recently introduced, it is too early to form any opinion as to its effectiveness. Hospital Boards. At the Hospital Boards' Association Conference held in Dunedin in February last the following resolution was passed : " The Government Audit inspection should include an examination of the stores records of a Hospital Board." This opens up a very large question —namely, as to whether Audit should exercise the same control over the stores systems of local bodies as it now does over the local bodies' cash. At present the Public Revenues Act gives full authority for the Audit inspection of the balance-sheets and of the local bodies' cash accounts, but there is no direct authority contained in the Act for Audit to inquire into the custody and disposal of local-body stores and property. The above resolution refers to Hospital Boards only, but there is evidence to show that there is at least equal necessity for supervision in the case of other local bodies, including Education Boards. Audit of Accounts of Local Authorities. The work of auditing local bodies' accounts has been continued, and although the arrears are still considerable, they are being gradually overtaken. The irregularities and breaches of the law which have been ascertained are very much on a par with previous years, and I may safely say that in the large majority of cases the failure to comply with the requirements of the law is due to want of knowledge of statutory requirements rather than to any intentional desire to evade the provisions of the legislation. There are certain anomalies now existing which it would be advisable to remove by legislation should a suitable opportunity present itself. For instance, there is an absence of uniformity in respect to the conditions which constitute disqualification of members of the various local authorities. Some local authorities come under the provisions of the Public Contracts and Local Bodies' Contractors Act, 1908, while in the case of counties and certain other local bodies there are specific provisions applicable to each respectively. A difficulty is also experienced in enforcing the provisions of the law with regard to the payment of travelling-expenses of members of local authorities. It would save a great deal of audit work and correspondence if a simple and uniform scale could be laid down which could be made applicable to all local authorities. This question is, I understand, at present receiving the consideration of the Government.

The following is a list of the number of instances where the Audit Office has been called upon during the year to deal with contraventions of the law on the part of local authorities - Defalcations of money .. .. .. .. .. .. 13 Deposit of loan interest wrongly credited .. .. . . 6 Disqualification of members for breaches of Act .. .. . . 11 Diversion of bridge-moneys from proper accounts .. . . . . 1 Excess of expenditure under the "Unauthorized" provision of the Acts .. 20 Travelling-expenses paid in excess of legal limits .. .. . . 23 Investments without statutory authority .. .. . . 3 Expenditure out of loan in contravention of the law .. . . 32 Loans raised without or in excess of statutory authority .. . . 4 Overdrafts and liabilities in excess of the legal limits .. . . 12 Over-expenditure out of loan-moneys .. .. .. .. 8 Payments made without legal authority .. . . .. . . 5 Purchase on terms and interest payments made contrary to law . . .. 6 Rate rebates and remissions of rates contrary to statute .. . . 7 Unauthorized commutation of harbour dues .. . . . . 1 Departmental Accounts and Balance-sheets. All Departments have prepared Income and Expenditure or Revenue Accounts and Balancesheets during the year, all of which have been examined by Audit. There has been considerable improvement in the method of preparation of these accounts, which has enabled Audit to deal with them more expeditiously than on previous occasions. It is hoped that during the current year Audit will be able to institute a semi-continuous audit in the larger Departments, to enable a still more expeditious examination to be made. The improvements reported last year in regard to the accuracy of the accounts generally has also been well maintained in the 1924-25 accounts, and although in a few cases Departments are still meeting with difficulties which have hitherto caused delays, there is every reason to expect that these difficulties will be overcome. Five new accounts were submitted for audit and examined during the year, and there has been a considerable increase in the number of subsidiary trading accounts prepared. Departments generally appear to be fully alive to the importance of preparing complete and accurate statements showing the financial results of their respective activities. For the convenience of making comparisons the tabular form of account has been introduced wherever this has been found possible. These statements of accounts are utilized each year by the Public Accounts Committee in conjunction with the examination of the estimates of expenditure before submission of the latter to Parliament, and I have reason to believe that they prove of considerable assistance. The accounts can now be said to be on a sufficiently complete basis to show both the revenue and expenditure and practically the full financial working of all Departments. It may be said that the work of preparing these statements of accounts is not so arduous as it was at the outset. It should, however, be recognized that the value of this work will be largely discounted unless the figures are carefully analysed and the various relative items of revenue and expenditure compared year by year. A semi-continuous audit of the Meat Producers, Dairy Producers, and Fruitgrowers Boards has been maintained. Audit of the Public Debt. The total debt at 31st March, 1926, was £238,855,477 lis. 6d., a net increase for the year of £11,040,831 os. 7d. This increase is made up as follows : — Increase :— New loans raised during the year — £ s. d. £ s. d. For the purposes of various accounts .. .. 12,786,475 0 0 To cover charges and expenses of raising loans .. 588,063 11 10 Total increase for year .. .. 13,374,538 11 10 Decrease:— Loans paid off during the year— From surplus cash in various accounts .. .. 2,052,094 2 8 From receipts in respect of war expenses.. .. 62,408 13 2 From various sinking funds .. .. .. 111,920 19 6 From loans raised in previous years (including £200 unclaimed bonds) .. .. .. 64,680 0 0 Discount on securities redeemed below par .. 40,503 15 11 Securities overdue for more than ten years, written off the debt .. .. .. .. 2,100 0 0 Total decrease for year .. .. 2,333,707 11 3 Net increase during 1925-26 .. .. .. .. .. .. 11,040,831 0 7 Add amount outstanding at 31st March, 1925 .. .. .. .. 227,814,646 10 11 Total debt outstanding at 31st March, 1926 .. .. £238,855,477 11 6 In addition, to the transactions shown above, Treasury bills for £500,000 were issued in anticipation of loan, and redeemed from the loan proceeds ; Treasury bills for £1,250,000 were issued in anticipation of revenue, and redeemed from the Ordinary Revenue Account before the end of the year;

while loans to the amount of £453,250 were converted or replaced, £5,266,476 were renewed, and £24,286,565 were redeemed, in each case by the issue of securities of an equal nominal amount. The large amount of redemptions by the issue of fresh securities is accounted for by the fact that securities held by the Post Office to the amount of over £15,000,000, bearing interest at 4| per cent, and 5 per cent., were cancelled before maturity, in terms of section 24 of the Finance Act, 1921-22, and securities of an equal nominal value bearing interest at 4 per cent, were issued in their place. Consolidated Stock Loans not allocated to Accounts. During the year the attention of the Treasury was called to the large amount of the public debt represented by consolidated stock the liability for which had not been allocated to the appropriate accounts in the statement of the public debt (8.-l, Part III). In the absence of such an allocation it was impossible to ascertain whether the whole liability had been taken into account in the various departmental balance-sheets, and for this reason the Audit Office drew attention to the importance of making an allocation, if possibleIt is understood that the Treasury has arrived at an allocation of this stock, but such allocation has not yet been referred to the Audit Office, nor has it been incorporated in the Debt Accounts. The amount unallocated at the 31st March, 1926, was £55,671,995, and will be found under the heading of " Miscellaneous " on page 58 of 8.-l, Part 111. Debt Repayment. . Consequent on the passing of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, certain old sinking funds have ceased to exist as such, and, together with the £13,500,000 which was transferred in previous years from the Consolidated Fund to the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account, have become capital moneys of the Public Debt Redemption Fund constituted by the above Act. The £13,500,000, however, is subject to reductions arising from the revaluation of discharged soldiers' properties by the Dominion Revaluation Board. At the 31st March, 1926, the amount of such capital moneys was as follows :— Public Debt Redemption Fund : — £ Held by the Public Trustee .. .. .. .. .. 7,966,689 Held by the State Advances Office .. .. .. .. 3,258,956 Held by the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account .. .. 13,500,000 £24,725,64-5 These moneys are not applied directly to the redemption of the debt, but the Act makes a fixed charge on the Consolidated Fund for that purpose, equal to | per cent, of the debt coming within the provisions of the Act, together with 3J- per cent, of the debt redeemed in terms of the Act, and the interest on the Public Debt Redemption Fund is credited to the Consolidated Fund as a set-off against such charge. The wisdom of this course is evident, as it ensures that any reduction in the amount of the Redemption Fund will not have the effect of reducing the amount applied to debt repayments, which will remain unaffected, and gradually increase year by year. This provision for debt repayment is estimated to extinguish the debt in about sixty years from the date it comes under the operation of the Act, and embraces the whole of the debt with the exception of the following loans, for which special sinking funds or other provision for repayment exist: — Amount of Sinking Amount of Loan Fund at at 31st March, 31st March, 1926. 1926. Loans with special sinking funds: — £ £ Electric-supply loans .. .. .. .. 17,391 4,809,248 Nauru and Ocean Islands loans .. .. .. 19 539,850 Samoan loans .. .. .. .. .. 4,747 110,000 State coal-mines loans .. .. .. .. 48,199 227,601 Westport Harbour loans .. .. .. .. 186,558 700,100 State Advances loans .. .. .. .. 2,017,348 27,771,153 Total .. .. .. .. £2,274,262 34,157,952 Debt funded with Imperial Government:— Public-works loans' !! \ S? 1 <«'•■»»« *° the loon i„.j 183 ;„ 21 War loans .. ..J " Total debt not subject to Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925 .. £60,414,974 The Repayment of the Public Debt Act provides for an actual annual repayment of debt, increasing in amount from year to year, and, as compared with the system of an invested sinking fund, which it displaces, has the outstanding advantages —firstly, that it ensures an immediate repayment of debt; secondly, that it overcomes the difficulty inherent in realizing large amounts of investments as and when required. In addition to these advantages it ensures a saving to the Consolidated Fund of the interest oil redeemed loans in excess of 3|- per cent., the amount of which saving will in course of time become very large, and could if thought desirable be applied to the further reduction of the public debt.

Though no change has been made in the constitution of the State Advances Office Sinking Fund, the raising of the rate of interest on advances made by the Superintendent appears likely to considerably strengthen the sinking fund by increasing the amount, of profits payable thereto, and will thus to some extent obviate the shortcomings of this fund to which I found it necessary to call attention in my last report. Unauthorized Expenditure. The Audit Office is pleased to note the improvement in the control of expenditure arising as a result of the passing of section 6 of the Finance Act, 1925, which reduced the total amount available as unauthorized expenditure in any year from £500,000 to £250,000. This amendment of the law, supported by the efforts of the Treasury Department, resulted in a reduction of the total of the Unauthorized Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st March, 1926, by £104,579 2s. as compared with the previous financial year. Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account. It was found during last financial year that the form of cash-book used for recording the receipts of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account was unsuitable for use in connection with the revenue headings in the statutory accounts kept by the Treasury, though suited to the purposes of the departmental accounts. As a result the headings of revenue shown under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account in the Public Accounts were inaccurate, and the amounts shown under the individual headings were in some cases incorrect, though the total receipts were correct. On attention being drawn to the matter the Treasury decided that a new form of cash-book more suitable to the purposes of the Treasury should be adopted. The new form came into use as from the Ist April, 1926, and the transactions to be shown under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account for the current year will be under new headings which will more correctly record the nature of the receipts. Section 84 (3), Public Revenues Act, 1910. In accordance with the requirements of subsection (3) of section 84 of the Public Revenues Act, there is annexed to this report a copy of a case, laid before the Attorney-General, relating to a difference of opinion between the Audit Office and the Public Trustee, together with the opinion given by the Attorney-General thereon. Staff and Audit Duties. The staff at the close of the year consisted of 132 officers, as against 129 on the 31st March, 1925. The work imposed upon the Audit Office increases year by year. In addition to the ordinary work of checking and examining departmental receipts and expenditure and the local-body accounts, the additional work thrown on Audit by the examination of stores accounts and the audit of departmental balance-sheets has made an increase of staff inevitable. The staff at present is not sufficient to cope with the increased work, and further appointments will be necessary in the near future. It has only been possible to meet the urgent calls of Government Departments as well as of local bodies by imposing a heavy burden on the staff, and I am pleased to record that the members of the staff have responded in the most satisfactory manner, and that it is thoroughly efficient and zealous in the discharge of its manifold and varying duties.

ANNEX. CORRESPONDENCE WHICH FORMED THE CASE OF A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON A POINT OF LAW SUBMITTED TO THE ATTORNEY - GENERAL UNDER SECTION 18 (1). PUBLIC REVENUES ACT, 1910,. AND ANNEXED TO THIS REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 84 (3) OF THAT ACT. The Audit Office, 3rd May, 1926. The Public Trustee. Wellington. Renewal of Mortgage, £1,300. The Audit Officer engaged on the examination of the accounts of the Public Trust Office has directed attention to the action of the Public Trust Office Investment Board in approving the renewal of the mortgage of £1,300 to Christina Taylor Imlah, of Kaupokonui, when the report of the valuer showed that the maximum amount of advance for which security existed was £1,273 only. In view of the provision in section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908, limiting advances to an amount not exceeding three-fifths of the estimated value of the property, I shall be obliged if you will kindly furnish me with comments hereon. G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General. Public Trust Office, Wellington, 13th May, 1926. The Controller and Auditor-General, Wellington. Renewal of Mortgage, £1,300, 0. T. Imlah, Kaupokonui. Your memorandum of the 3rd instant with reference to the above-described renewal has received the consideration of the Public Trust Office Investment Board. The loan of £1,300 was granted in 1920 on a valuation made by District Valuer O. Gardner showing the value of the property as £2,593, three-fifths of which was £1,555. The special valuation obtained for the purpose of considering a renewal showed the value of the property as £2,123, threefifths of which is £1,273, or £27 less than the amount of the mortgage. Applying the established legal maxim, " De minimis non curat lex," the Board granted the renewal. The decision is in accordance with the dictates of common-sense, and follows the practice of other Investment Boards in similar circumstances. lam personally in accord with the Board's view of the matter. The valuer's report shows that the property has not deteriorated in any way, that it is being capably managed, and that the district is progressing. The reduction of the value is apparently due to a general revision of the values in the district. J. W. Macdonald, Public Trustee. The Audit Office, Wellington, 18th May, 1926. The Solicitor-General, Wellington. I attach correspondence with the Public Trustee in reference to the powers of the Public Trust Board in renewing a loan after the date of expiry at an amount in excess of the proportion of value of security as laid down by section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908. 1 may say that the principle involved here is of considerable importance. The Lending Boards of the Government Service have to my knowledge invariably exercised care in granting money by way of loan in order that the statutory proportion of the value of the security should not be "exceeded. On ordinary occasions where renewals are applied for the value of the security provides sufficient margin, but in this instance the value has apparently depreciated to such an extent that it does not provide the statutory margin for the loan. I shall be glad if you will advise me hereon. G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General. % Solicitor-General's Office, Wellington, 24th May, 1926. The Controller and Auditor-General. Public Trust Office Board's Poivers of Investment under Section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908: C. T. Imlah, Kaupokonui. Referring to your memorandum of the 18th instant, I have to advise as follows : — 1. I assume that the only statutory provision bearing on the question is section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908. lam not aware of any other provision that affects the matter, and I assume, from the fact that the Public Trustee, in his memorandum to you, has not referred to it, that there is no other Act or regulation dealing with the matter. 2. I am of opinion that that section prevents the Public Trust Board from advancing more than three-fifths of the estimated value of such estate, and that, in advancing upon a renewal more than that proportion, it has committed a breach of the provisions of the statute. The maxim "De minimis non curat lex," to which the Public Trustee refers in his memorandum, is, in my opinion, inapplicable. A statutory provision must be strictly complied with ; and that maxim only applies in this matter to such negligible sums as a few pence or a few shillings. It certainly does not apply to an amount of £27. File is returned to you herewith. Arthur Fair, Solicitor-General.

The Audit Office, Wellington, 25th May, 1926. The Public Trustee, Wellington. Renewal of Mortgage. I am in receipt of your memorandum of the 13th instant on the above subject, which seems to indicate that there is a clearly defined difference of opinion between yourself and the Audit Office in regard to the legality of the Board's action in renewing the mortgage by an amount in excess of three-fifths of the valuation. As a very important principle is involved, I referred the correspondence to the Solicitor-General, and am to-day favoured with his reply, a copy of which I enclose for your information. G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General. Public Trust Office, Wellington, 14th June, 1926. The Controller and Auditor-General, Wellington. Renewal of Mortgage, £.1,300, C: T. Imlah, Kaupokonui. Your memo. 25/5/26 : AVith reference to your memorandum quoted above covering a copy of an opinion dated 24th ultimo from the Solicitor-General regarding the renewal of mortgages to the. Public Trustee, I have to point out that section 34 of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908, provides that the Public Trustee may invest all capital moneys (inter alia) " In advances by way of mortgage on the security of any real estate held in fee-simple in New Zealand, and free from encumbrances, to an amount not exceeding three-fifths of the estimated value of such estate according to a valuation approved by the Board." In advancing moneys from the Common Fund of the Public Trust Office the requirements of the statute are carefully observed. No loan is granted for an amount in excess of three-fifths of thg Government valuation, which is before the Investment Board when the application is considered. In my opinion, however, the position is quite different where the Board is not advancing any new moneys from the Common Fund, but is merely authorizing the extension of the term of a mortgage by means of a memorandum of variation. It is considered that in a case where the Public Trustee is satisfied that the security is being farmed or managed, in a satisfactory manner, that no deterioration has taken place, and that the security is in as good a condition as when the loan was originally granted, it would be a meticulous literalism to the words of the statute to require the mortgagor to refund a portion of the advance merely because a revision of the values in the district had caused the margin shown to be reduced below the amount of the loan. In such cases the Board has followed a businesslike course, and if it is satisfied that the interests of the Public Trust Office are fully protected it has granted a renewal of the mortgage. It may be pointed out in this connection that there is nothing to prevent the Board from allowing the mortgage to run on as overdue for an indefinite period, and, this being so, there seems to be no real objection to granting a renewal for a fixed term. The justification for doing so is found in the wording of section 34 of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908, which provides that an amount may be advanced not exceeding three-fifths of the estimated value of such estate, according to a valuation approved by the Board. The fact that in granting the renewal the Board has before it the Government valuation at which the loan was originally granted, and which still sustains the full amount of the loan, is, in my opinion, a sufficient compliance with the statute. My memorandum of the 13th ultimo which is referred to in the Solicitor-General's opinion was not intended to be exhaustive as regards the Public Trustee's powers in connection with the investment of Office funds. It is the duty of the Solicitor-General to make himself familiar with the powers of the Public Trustee before giving an opinion on such a subject, and in this connection I would refer to section 20 of the Public Trust Office Amendment Act, 1921-22. Although I do not admit that a renewal of the existing mortgage is properly to be regarded as a fresh advance of funds from the Common Fund of the Public Trust Office, nevertheless,-if it is held that such is the case, the granting of the renewal for an amount in excess of three-fifths of the latest Government valuation, may rightly be regarded as an exercise by the Public Trustee of the power conferred, by section 15 of the Finance Act, 1924. I am satisfied that the procedure adopted by the Public Trust Office Investment Board in this matter is in accordance with the dictates of common-sense and business practice, and that there is a sufficient compliance with the statute law bearing on the subject. I propose to regard the matter as closed. J. W. Macdonald, Public Trustee. The Audit Office, Wellington, 16th June, 1926. The Solicitor General, Wellington. Renewal of Mortgage, £1,300. Will you be so good as to refer to your opinion given to Audit in connection with this matter and say if you see any reason for modifying it in view of the explanation afforded by the Public Trustee ? In the opinion of Audit considerable importance attaches to the principle involved, and it would appear that it is essentially one which demands the literal interpretation of the terms of the Act, especially as the moneys under loan are trust-moneys in the hands of the Public Trustee. In the particular case under review the difference between the value upon which the Board first granted the loan and that furnished by special valuation for renewal purposes (not a valuation made during revision of the whole district, as stated by the Public Trustee) amounts to £470, and I consequently cannot concur in the views stated that there has been no deterioration in the value of the security.

It appears to Audit that the powers given to the Public Trustee by section 20 (j), Public Trust Office Amendment 1921, must be read subject to the express directions given to the Board with regard to margin of security contained in section 34, Public Trust Act, 1908. Doubtless the Board could have elected to postpone action pending developments by allowing it to " run on," but there is a distinct difference between allowing a mortgage to run on " and the granting of a renewal for a fixed term of years. G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General. Solicitor-General's Office, Wellington, 19th June, 1926. The Controller and Auditor-General. Audit of Public Trust Office Accounts: Advance of £1,300 to 0. T. Imlah. 1. Referring to your memorandum hereon of the 16th instant, I have given careful consideration to the Public Trustee's memorandum of the 14th instant and the Public Trust Office file relating to this matter ; but I can see no reason for modifying my previous opinion. The amount involved is not large. If it had been recognized that an error had been made the matter would not have been of great importance, when the volume of business transacted by the Public Trust Office is taken into account; but, in view of the general questions now raised by the Public Trustee, it is desirable to go into the matter in more detail. The grave inaccuracies in stating the facts make such a course desirable, and the Public Trustee's interpretation of the different statutory provisions referred to by him render it necessary that I should deal with the questions of law more fully than I otherwise would have felt obliged to do. 2. The facts seem to be as follows : On the 28th July, 1920, the Public Trust Office Board, after special valuation had been obtained on the 10th July valuing the property at £2,593, authorized an advance thereon to one E. C. Barleyman of the sum of £1,300, secured on the land and improvements. The loan was duly advanced, and a mortgage given by Mr. Barleyman. In October, 1920, the property was transferred to Christina Taylor Imlah. The loan fell due for repayment on the 24th August, 1925, but the Public Trustee advised Mrs. Imlah, who had bought the property, that he was prepared to consider a renewal of the same, subject to a special Government valuation. This was obtained from the same valuer as had made the valuation in 1920. He valued the jiroperty at £2,123. This would, under section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, have authorized an advance of £1,273. The Investment Board of the Public Trust Office approved a renewal of the mortgage without repayment of any portion of the £1,300, on the Ist April, 1925. The original mortgagor refused, however, to consent to a renewal of the mortgage, and the old mortgage was released and a new mortgage executed. This is, in effect, a repayment of the £1,300 by Mr. Barleyman, and an advance of £1,300 to Mrs. Imlah. 3. It seems, therefore, that the Public Trustee in his letter of the 14th instant is mistaken in stating that there was merely an extension of an existing mortgage. There was a new mortgage, by a new mortgagor, at a. different rate of interest, although secured on the same property. He is also mistaken in stating that the reduction in value was due to a general revision of the values of the district. His implications that the Board relied on the valuation made in 1920 to justify this excess advance, and that business considerations required it, are not supported by any evidence on the file, and are, I think, not warranted. 4. I have already stated that, in my opinion, his view of the law, as stated in his memorandum of the 13th ultimo, is erroneous, and he now, apparently, acquiesces in that view. Ido not think, however, that any of the provisions now referred to by him support or justify the action of the Board. The concluding words of section 34 (c), " approved by the Board," mean " approved by the Board for the purpose of the advance." There is no evidence on the file that the Board relied on the valuation made five years before, and preferred it to the special valuation made for the purpose of considering this loan. Such an assumption is inconsistent with the Public Trustee's letter of the 13th ultimo. Moreover, if the Board had relied on such a valuation this course would have been open to severe criticism. Indeed, it seems that such a course would be incapable of justification. 5. Section 20 (j) of the Public Trust Office Amendment Act, 1921, does not authorize any transaction of this kind. This is not a renewal, extension, or variation of a mortgage. Even if it were, it remained subject to section 34 (c) of the principal Act. To exempt any mortgage from the provisions of that subsection would require the clearest language. As section 20 (j) does not expressly refer to the amount of the mortgage, it does not take a renewal out of the terms of subsection 34 (c). The subsection will be read in such a way as to best effect the purpose for which it was intended. To read it as restricted to advances made other than by way of renewal would so limit and impair its efficiency and be so inconsistent with its intention that I do not think it is possible to read it in such a manner. There may be cases where it is necessary for business reasons to postpone for a time the reduction of the amount of an overdue mortgage where it exceeds the prescribed proportion. The difference between such a case and the advance of an excess sum for five years is obvious. 6. Section 15 of the Finance Act, 1924 applies only where an advance is made for the purpose therein mentioned and from the funds therein mentioned. There is on the file no suggestion that this further advance of £27 was authorized for that purpose, and it is clear, I think, from the Public Trustee's memorandum of the 13th ultimo, the file, and the circumstances of the loan, that the excess sum was not advanced under the authority of this section. 7. I think I should record my protest against the terms of the Public Trustee's list memorandum to you. I should be sorry|to think any one holding the responsible position of Public Trustee would be intentionally discourteous to ;other senior officers of the Service, yet the language of his memorandum, to the opinions of both yourself and myself, seems capable of this construction. I should be glad if you would convey my opinion on this point, as well as on the purely legal questions, to the Public Trustee. The files are returned to you herewith. Arthur Fair, Solicitor-General.

The Audit Office, Wellington, 22nd June, 1926. The Hon. Minister of Finance, Wellington. Sir, —- I have the honour, in terms of section 18 of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, to submit to you the attached correspondence, which discloses that a difference of opinion has arisen between the Audit Office and the Public Trustee regarding the legal powers of the Public Trust Investment Board when granting loans on mortgage, and to ask in terms of the above-quoted section that the matter be referred to the Hon. the Attorney-General to be determined by him. As the principle involved is, in the opinion of Audit, an important one, and as the difference between the two offices has not been reconciled notwithstanding that the views of the SolicitorGeneral thereon have been fully expressed, it appears to the Audit Office that the only alternative is to submit the question for determination by the Hon. the Attorney-General. The actual case which forms the subject of the Audit query is not in itself of serious importance, as Audit is not of the opinion that the Board has by its action necessarily incurred any serious risk of loss of trust funds. The principle involved, however, of granting renewals in excess of legal limitations might at any time, if continued, lead to very serious losses. In regard to the concluding remarks of the Solicitor-General given in his opinion of 19th June, I have to say that although his remarks may perhaps be justified, I do not desire this phase of the question to enter into the discussion, which is purely one of law. It is recognized that in the exercise of its duties the Audit Office is at any time liable to incur a certain amount of opposition from Government Departments. I have, &c., G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General. Attorney-General.—Referred.—W. D. 5.—29/6/26. Attorney-General's Office, Wellington, 29th June, 1926. The Hon. Minister of Finance. It is clear that the advance in question must be treated as a new mortgage from Mrs. Imlah, and not as an extension of the original mortgage given by Mr. Barleyman, which in point of fact has been discharged. Section 20 (j) of the Public Trust Office Amendment Act, 1921-22, relates to the " renewal, extension, or variation " of an existing mortgage, and does not, therefore, affect this matter. Neither does section 15 of the Finance Act, 1924, affect the question. This section merely confers powers to nurse an existing mortgage in order to minimize any loss on realization. The sole question is therefore whether the new advance to Mrs. Imlah is one justified by section 34 (c) of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908. Clearly the valuation referred to in this section can only be the valuation made at the time of the advance ; so that, to the extent of £27, being the excess of the amount of the advance over three-fifths of the valuation, the advance to Mrs. Imlah is an unauthorized advance. It follows that in the event of the security being realized and a loss being made, the Public Trust Office will be liable to make good such loss to the extent of £27. The Public Trustee is a statutory officer, and as such is necessarily bound by the terms of the statute creating his powers, which it is clear have been exceeded in this case. I think the Audit Office is justified in taking exception to the advance. F. J. Rolleston, Attorney-General. The Controller and Auditor-General. —Referred. —W. D. S. —30/6/26.
