10 Hon, Members Of Board Of Supcr-
! cjSOrS:-
In response to your late order ask
ing me to specify the illegal allowance
made by the last Board within the
last two years, | would say that |
iind il impossible TO specify those
items from the fact that investigation
of the records for the last two wears
has 10 be made before it can be done
satisfactorily. | could specify a few
them, but could not refer your body
to the pages of records. | think the
matter Of the Investigation of the rec
ords for the last several years to re-
cover illegal and improper allowance
should be referred to tho District At.
torney, and in case the Dist. Atty has
moi the time to make the extended re.
search, which | feel confident he will
not have, then if this Board desires to
do so, will present at your meeting,
after receiving the District Attorneys
reply, a written contract looking to
such investigation aud suits for the
recovery Of said allowances.
Respectfully submitted.
j. r. MADISON.
