Gentlemen:
As

herewith
is
report
resulting
from
my

to
Prince

in
response
to
request
of
the
City
Council.
f
,
Recently
the
Minister
of
Municipal
Affairs
rebeived
complaints
from
Alderman
Geo.
B.
Casey
to
the
effect
that
the
procedures
being
followed
in
the
conduct
of
the
affairs
of
the
City
of
Prince
Rupert
were
not
In
accordance
with
the
"Municipal
Act."
In
short
these
were:
1.
That
payment
of
accounts
takes
place
without
prior
authorization
by
the
Council.
'
i
2.
That
expenditures
beyond
the
lawful
limit
of
$50.00
were
made
by
committees
without
authority.

for

was

by

In
general,
the
objection
of
Alderman
Casey
was
that
too
much
'
of
the
business
of
the
city
was
being
transacted
without
the
council
being

without

being
given
an

to
