Thus it appears by evidence which
you can not call IN question, that Mr..
Kramer was not employed as Superin-
tendent, and was not paid for such
services, that the amount paid for his
labor was only about one fifth Of the
sum stated BY you, and that it was
entirely distinct from the services
which I rendered.
1t also appears that In place OF me
being paid three hundred dollars for
experimenting the court house and
jail repairs. my services included ''the
superIntcndence Of JfUe cHlUeTtS and
nine road contracts in Pigeon aud
knight Townships The fact is,
that the services rendered by me in
these various county works extended
from April TO November, 1867. and
that the buggy hire alone would
amount 10 more than hale of the al
loWance / received.
The Court House and jail, as you
personally know, were thoroughly
overhauled and repaired inside aud
outside. and required a great deal OF
work aud time. / claim that il was
well done, and as cheaply for the
county as it was possible TO have il
done. and such is the case with the
road and culvert contracts. am
satisfied that my superinteudence
