cepted and ordered printed:
To the Honorable the Mayor and Common Conn.,
Gil of the City Of s.. Paul.:
The Committee to whom was referred the
communication of S. P. Folsom 4 Co., in re-
gard to certain alleged indebtedness on the
part Of the Town Of st. Paul, in favor of
Daniel Breck for the sum of $3.50 20, signed
by Jno. NJ. Cashier, as Marshal and Agent
of the Town of st. Paul." beg leave to re-
port, that the Committee are Of the opinion
that John NJ. Cashier had no authority to
draw orders or sign notes against the Town,
unless authorized specially so to do, which in
this instance was not the case, and your
Committee are of the opinion that to recog-
nize tie account of S. p Folsom & Co.,
would be to establish right which Cashier
never had, and one by which it would be i'm
possible to ascertain the amount which Ger
tain persons now claim to hold against the
City. AS it is notorious fact that large
amount of these fraudulent orders are a1oat,
purporting to be Town Orders, signed by
John NJ. Cashier, whereas the authority was
vested only in the President and Trustees of
the Town. Your Committee would there
fore respectfully recommend that the claim
of S. P. Folsom & Co. be not allowed.
