The ssDomesday Book of England

and when it's true character has been
recognized will create an unusual
amount of social and perhaps politi-
cal interest. 1t is nominal roll of
every man in England who possesses
an acre of her soil, covering every
grade of proprietorship, from the
mighty Duke of Northumberland,
who possesses in a single county
$4,000 acres of soil, yielding on an
average nearly FL an acre, or the
Duke of Devonshire, with $4,000
acres in Derbyshire alone, to the re-
tired tradesmann, wqo trlks of the
"grounds'' of an acre and a half sur
rounding his Middfesex or Surrey
villa. Every man who has a copy
can tell at glance how much land
the neighboring magnaie, or his owr
rival in the county, or the new pur
chaser who has just called on him
possesses of the soil, and what thu
amount of his rent-roll would be if i
were unburdened, both stated will
official accuracy and clearness. TIL

your committee.
To particularize, would be to file
the entire account of the Superinten-
dent, which is made a part of this
report, every item OF which. except
the first, is exorbitant and extraya-
giant, and many Of them insulting to
the intelligence of the Legislature,
called upon to examine the official
conduct Of public servants entrus-
ted with the expenditure of public
money.
The large item of twenty thousand
($20,000) dollars for timber and
transportation, like the small one OF
three hundred $4,000 dollars for a
pump to empty the locks, when no
locks were ever made, is unaccompa-
MED by q voucher, with all the labor
at hand, furnished with fatboats
Six thousand ($6,00o) dollars worth
Of timber is swept away by freshet
without log being saved, and the
Waterman rewarded for the disaster
by the payment of 1926.
A coreful examination of the SIT
perintendent's statement will clearly
show that the figures furnished arc
beyond all reason, and your commit
tee is forced to the conclusion thai
these so called expenses constitute
one of the most deliberate fraud:
perpetrated in this State.
