had bssa kept from the public eye by
thoss interested in the restoration OF the
oonkacls, and that the contract system did
not. As had bees alleged, save money to
the State, ,E
Not only did tIey fail 10 show that the
asn,ract system had saved money to the
State, but The State, from the official fg
srss. had saved money BY the repudis,iOt
of tie contracts. In 1857 there had beer

there had been expended an excess Of n
siug e9e 900, hui some $24 900 for boat
and tools to th, conJactors had been pait

Ofover $4,000 10 the two years. t
He showed the difference between u,
