ed.
1othe Hon. President and members
Of School Board of the PariM
Of ErmiHion.
We, the undersigned, appointed
by your Hon. Body, a committee to
settle with the Treasurer of the
School Funds, beg to submit the en-
closed as our reporf and settlement
with said Treasurer up to this day
January 21st 1882.
As regards the amounts of money
paid the said Treasurer by M. G..
Brcussard eX- tax collector of this
parish, and ex-treasurer of school
funds, we were compelled to use Mr..
Wise's books, as we could find no
other data by which we could be gov
erned.
The report furnished US by Mr..
Fay State Supt. Of Public Educa-
ton. Of amounts paid our treasurer
from March 18th 1879 to August
25th 1881, by State Treasurer was
also very complete and We we're
again Obliged to use Mr.. Wise's
looks to arrive al, the correct amounts
SO paid him. His books showing
some 5000 20, more than MIR. Fay's
report called for.
We respectfully call the attention
of your Hon'l. Body to the above
and suggest that you take i'm
mediate action in devising some
other system by which future
finance committees can arrive at all
amounts paid into the Treasurer's
hands than through said trcasurer's
own books, as we consider that a
settlement under such circumstances
can te accurate only in SO Ear as the
treasurer desires it to be.
