and above the $50 80 YOU drew on war |
rant No lOl, which was allowed YOU by /.
the Committee on Elections and Priyi- /
lagcs, viz: for $40 miles $50, have to /
say infer not, for | see no good reason /.
why | should have refused to grant the /
warrant tor what the Committee had /.
allowed YOU, even though YOU had re-. ,
criycd warrant no lOi for $50 10. The /
balance of the Ssi mileage, VIZ: 333 TO, |
still stand to your credit on my books, ~ /
per report OF Committee. | could not /
cqualize Your mileage with that of your |
colleague, Mr.. Garlic, in any other man
ner than by Issuing You an additional
warrant for the amount which still stands |
to your credit on my books. My office .
being strictly di,JursuS office, 1t was
impossible for me- in any case, TO act as q .

the amount which you drew on the mile /.
age account Mr.. Garlic was anxious to /
have this matter So adjusted a. TO have T.
the mileage equal, and suggested that /.

province. and was compelled 10 refuse.
