Cd with these cases.
From the inception Of the investi CATION
into the accounts of ex-ofilcers and present
officers of this county, Warren ii. Norton,
Esg. , the member of this Board from the
Town of Earl, and chairman of the COM
mittee, known as the investigation corn
mlttee," and who permit us TO say was the
pioneer In this investigation, has rendered
invaluable service to the county, for such
labor he has onlv received the small com.
pensation of $3.50 per day. But faithful
to the trust imposed on him by this Board,
he has sacrificed his personal interests, and
labored conscientiously and well for the
county
Your committee deems II but just, that
that he should be further compensated /;
and would therefore recommend that the
clerk of the Board be directed to draw an
order In favor of Mr.. Norton for the sum
OF $4,000, and present the same to him as
partial compensation for services rem
dered.
Your committee would report that they
have entered into a contract with Messrs
Moloney, Brewer and Stead for the prose-
