RECEIPTS DESTROYED.
Before the committee adjourned Mr..
Hubbard said:
81 would just like TO ask the clerk
where We can find the receipted bills for
1873 and from then back"
Deiters Burned up.
Hub5ar,l-Burned mp! Who burned
them?
Deiters-The janitor burnt them,
whenever they accumulated.
Hubbard-Was this ordered by the
Board?
Deiters-Not in my time. Ii was
when Eugene List and Oesterling were
in the Beard. The sheriffs' settlements
and papers were kept, but there wasn't
room for the regular bills and they were
destroyed.
Hubbard-Then there is no way Of
accounting for the disbursement Of
money at that time?
Deiters-The vouchers showed how
much was drawn.
Hubbard-But it gave no itemizsd &c.
count?
Deiters-No itemized account.
Hubbard-H'm.
ovERDRAwS CONTRACTORS.
Mr.. Speidel-I think while We are all
here We might as well 90 on and hear
from these oveTdrawn contractors.
This was matter not understood by
the spectators. Ii seems that in some
OF the secret reports made, that severa!
contractors were overpaid and had been
summoned TO appear.
Mr.. Cracrait objected to this and said
he understood that this matter went
over to May 18th. Mr.. Hubbard said
he could not see why this should not 20
on. Ii the contractors were overpaid,
there was no reason why the county
should not get its money back wheth.
er Deiters was connected with 1T or
not. But il was finally agreed that the
matter should 20 over, with the rest.
BUILDING ASSOCIATION BOOKS.
Mr.. Hubbard said he had matter TO
hr;n., haf.,r.. thG. mi al IN = m
ed. There were, he said, many books
in the Commissioners room belonging
to two building associations, one OF
which he represented and Mr.. II. Is.
FERGUSON the other. These books he
wanted, or at least his shsrs.
This created quite commotion, Mr.
Deiters claiming that many OF his pri'
vate papers were among them. III IL
Mr.. Hubbard denied and for time Il
grew quite warm. Mr.. FERGUSON was
sent for and made his appearance to
protect his inter ests in the case.
Mr.. Hubbard wanted an examination
at once and Mr.. Deiters did not. lie
said he would come on Tuesday, To
which Hubbard coolly responded that
he was afraid he wouldn't. Deiters said
his word was as good as his bond. and
Ferguson Clipped in with his little say.
Hubbard wanted the committee 10
have its experts sort the books, but the
committee objected and did not feel at
liberty 10 spend $40 a day Of the coun.
tvs money in that way. Hubbard said
il the present Clerk and the experts
would do this he would zee the county
was Unidentified; but Cracraft protested
sgsins. the interference OF any one who
wanted TO step into Deiters shoes.
After much wrangling and no little
bitter talk, this plan Was agreed upon:
The experts shouldsort the papers and
books, and on Monday Hubbard, Fer.
gusson and Deiters should meet at the
room and receive what belonged To
them. Each should take what was
unanimously agreed TO, and in case OF q
difference Of opinion, or disputed title,
the courts should be- appealed 10.
And this vas all there was OF IL.
