which was adopted:
To the Mayor and Common Council of the Cit,
Of 81. Paul -
The Committee to whom was referred the
communication of John NJ. Cashier, respect
fully beg leave to report:
That your Committee in reporting adj
versely to the account of Daniel Breck, for
the sum of $500 80, did not call in question
the integrity or private character of the late
Town Marshal but they were of the opinion
that the officers of the late Town of St.
Paul had no authority to delegate any right
to one of its officers to issue orders or syn
notes against the Town.
Your Committee have made every exer-
ton to ascertain by what authority Mr..
Cashier claims to have had the right so to
do, but have been unable to find any.
Your Committee would recommend that
Mr.. Cashiers communication be referred TO
the City Comptroller.
