MAKING QUERY.
Glance nj the above clothing account and
YOU will perceive that II IN tbe one referred
to in your statement ~ follows: "Althougb
the statement oi the clothing account WAS
approved by tho male inspector on the 18th
of May, II included btiis dated thirteen days
subsequent Ia the date OF that approval. ."
Now, look little further aud you will see
that these socalled "btliS" are dated also
three davs after the date of Rev. A. II.
Waters oath before Mr. Lewis, justice oi the
peace.
Were the vouchers, numbered In this ac-
count .. q, 10, H. II, and 90 with the date
May 3ist, 1850, real "bill' OF that date, (but
they are not bills at ALL IA an ordinary nc
countant should have seem then there
would be evidence of gross negligence This
should have caused some hesitation, at least
before spreading the charge before the pub
lie. But you had IN your possesstOn the
original bittS, To which these numbers re-
feired, which were the actual bills examined
and audited by tho inspector, with my aid in
checking them OIL, for was at the school at
the time Now, glance at the original bills
would have shown you, that the date May
81, 1882 in the summary, was but the jour
naliZsd date for the school year closing May
81, 1889, and that tho BUS we're not OF that
date at all, except where they included the
running account of the school, from month
10 month, of mending shoes, and making
dresses aud pantaloous.
