very anxious that the Capitol Commissioners should

was adopted without debate:
The Committee are of the opinion that the system

such large sums of money-have been undertaken and
carried on by the State under the system OF com

positions on such commissions, and yet your Committee
has found in the investigation OF their affairs that the
work has been carried on under them WIN great ;sa
investigation of the affairs OF those commissions. we find
nothing involving the personal integrity OF the Conis-
soners.
In this new Capitol work the system of management

they had practical knowledge, and IN which they had
no experience. The detail OF the business and rs imie
date management have been left to others with RESPONSE
biity divided and subdivded that there was no one
who considered himself Responsible Tor any negligence or

We think the direct management Of the business OF

spensibe man, who should be practical builder. OF
experience who understands the business and who
should devote his entire time to il such man. with
the aid OF his experience manage the business with
