To the honorable Members of the School Board:
GENTLEMEN-A, the last regular meeting
of your honorable body you instructed
your Ways and Means Committee to EN-
ploy competent person to make a settle
ment with the City Collector, Mr.. John
Freer. We procured the services OF
Mr.. George NJ. Clark. There appears
to be deficit in money or tax bills,
on the part of the Collector, of $513. While
the amount Of the deficit is not large, and
while we do not think that the Collector
has intentionally or wifully misappropri-
ated the money of the School Board. yet
we are compelled to say that we think
that negligence and lack of system and en-
ergy are the main causes of the unfortunate
condition of the accounts of the Collector.
