In the Treasury department demanded
their trIioIe time and attention." and necessa-
riIy took precedence of their added duties as
District auditors, "snd therefore a personal
examination OF claims by the members of
the board OF audit, or either of them, to any
considerable extent was impossible" This,
while IL places them in the undesirable atti-
tude OF drawing pay for duties they were not
able to perform, does not relieve them from
the responsibility they assumed in accepting
the positions in the board of audit with the
"added duties" They were appointed be-
cause of their supposed ability and desire to
perform those duties properly. Ifthey could
not, they should have said so in time to avert
any possible abuse OF the powers granted
them, and IL would not then have been ne
cessary to sign certificates In blank, as they
admit was done. AS business men and ex-
perieDced officials, they must nave foreseen
the great risk they were running In leaving
such important matters to the discreet IN Of
subordinates, the very thing that they were
appointed to prevent. The testimony before
the District Committee shows what came OF
it
