520 |a"For some time past there has been a growing demand from officials, financial corporations, economists, and others interested in taxation and similar problems, for comparative statistics of the more important muncipalities throughout Canada, more particularly statistics of municipal finance. Jurisdiction with regard to municipalities is vested in the Provincial Governments, and the first essential for comparative statistics is the adoption of a uniform system of muncipal accounting and reporting. A memorandum outlining a system, and looking for co-operative action between the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Provincial Departments, was drawn up in the Bureau in 1918 and submitted to the Provinces. It was recognized, however, that the matter was complex and far reaching in scope, and that definite action would not be feasible without careful discussion of details, such as might take place at a conference of Dominion and Provincial officials. Pending such discussion it was thought that a useful purpose might be served if a limited survey was undertaken by the Bureau on the lines suggested. A schedule was accordingly sent to urban centres having a population of 10,000 and over, and the present report is based on the replies received" -- preface, p. 3.
