Sir H. YOUNGThe audit of the accounts of the Stepney Borough Council for the year ended 31st March, 1933, was completed on 31st July, 1934, frequent adjournments being from time to time necessary owing to the non-completion or inaccuracy of the accounts. The audit of the accounts for the year ended 31st March, 1934, would have immediately followed that for the year ended 31st March, 1933, but for the fact that the accounts were not ready.
