AT glance, it will be seen that the
sum of nineteen hundred and sixty
dollars and seventy-seven cents has
been allowed to Mrs. w. as the amount
of expense incurred since the COM
mencement of her operations. 1t is
proper to state here, in connection
with the above, that no vouchers &C
companied this report and no state
ment in detail showing the items
which make up this large amount.
1t appears, too, in this account rem
dered by Mrs. w. that she has receiv-
ed from the State as salary one hun
dred dollars per month.
When it became known what
amount of money had been expended
by one agent alone, under the provis-
ions of tho act approved September
III, 1862, general feeling of opposi-
ton to it was manifested by all who
desired to husband and disburse pru.
IDENTIFY the funds of the State. 1t was
urged by those who thought this ex.
penditure unwarrantable and uniusti.
fable, (and ! submit, Mr.. Editor, that
the expenditure has been unjustifiable,
that an agent who could not conduct
her sanitary operations. with all the
facilities and advantages enumerated
above. which would seem to almost
preclude the possibility Of expense,
without mourning a personal expense
Of almost eleven hundred dollars, over
and above her salary, should not be
continued in Office, especially at a
salary of one hundred dollars per month.
As q general principle. it is conced-
cd that the services of all agents or
employees are valuable in proportion
to their business qualifications and
that in agents inordinate proclivities
for spending money are not particu-
larry commendatory.
1t is very remarkable that our Ex-
Governor with his great fund Of good
sense, should have consented to pay
Mrs. w. such large salary. Her
pay has been larger than that of any
State officer, and much larger than the
salaries of nine-tenths Of the officers
of companies and corporations in our
State. Not a clergyman in the State
has such salary. And yet the bill
reported by the Standing Committee
on Sanitary affairs after having been
amended by the House SO as to put an
end to such extravagant and iniudi.
cious expenditure which the present
law will not prevent. was indefinitely
