with report which it was not entitled

at that, that body finally atoned for
It's errors, by placing on the records the

mittee to which were referred the re-
ports of the Territorial Auditor and

committee thereon, having duly con-
sidered the subject, make the follow
ing report:

the same together with the supplement
tai report of the Teri Auditor and

tain a full and detailed statement of
