Dear Sir:
Upon the suggestion of Mr.. B. A.
Schneider of Parl River, we wrote to
Mr.. E. D. Kentzel for information
relative to the contemplated audit of
the parish books. Mr.. Kentzel in
forms US in a letter of January
10th, that the books to be audited
are those of the secretary for the
past twelve months. Of course, we
take it that you will also have the
books of the treasurer audited at the
same time; accordingly, we beg to
submit the following proposition:
We will audit the books of the sec
retary and treasurer for the period
of twelve months, or for such period
as you may designate, on our regular
basis Of $500 per day for principal
accountant, plus hotel and travelling
expenses. BY day is meant 7 IL
actual working hours, extra time to
be charged on same basis.
1t is our invarriable rule to make
examination on per diem basis, be-
cause it is extremity difficult to tell
how long it will take to complete an
examination, and furthurmore, under
this method our clients pay only for
what the work is actually worth.
We faithfully promise to complete
this examination in as short a time
as is consistant with accurate and re-
liable results. We have a great deal
Of accounting work to do all the year
round and it is necessary that we
complete an audit as quickly as we
can, that we may take up another.
We will be ready to take up the
work within week after being no
titled that it has been awarded US.
Thanking you for your considera-
tion in allowing us the privilege of
submitting this proposition, we beg
