Your committee believe that the above
mentioned GER ~iicates were not issued as
authorized by law, for the following rea.
sons; First, section III ot.the Revised
Statutes. relating to the issuance Of certi-
ficates OF indebtedness-''In all cases
where the law recognizes a claim for
money agains the territory and no appro-
priation shall be made by law to pay the
same the auditor shall audit and adjust
the same and give the claimant a certif-
cate for the amount thereof" These GER
tiicates were not drawn for the amount of
any one or more OF the vouchers which
they purport to represent. though the
amount OF the three certificates equals
the amount of the Eve enumerated vouch
ers. Second. section 1913 of the Re
Ylsed Statutes ~recites; And the terri
torial auditor shall In no case draw war
rants on the territorial treasurer except on
account itemized and with each item
dated" VIZ ind among the vouchers
enumerated. one Aug. 80. 1890. For
sundry items of furniture now in the au-
ditor's Office which voucher has not
been itemized within the meaning of the
law, the failure to price each item, invali-
dating the voucher. in the opinion Of the
the committee. Third, the voucher for
1900 included in the above mentioned
package of vouchers, as follow: TO
salary for services for deputy auditor for
July and August, $780, We find no
authority for payment of the same in law.
The remaining vouchers above referred to.

manifestly Just claims against the state.

of6cio insurance commissioner OF the terri

81, 200" Your committee respectfully
submit that in their opinion this certificate

following reasons. viz. First, as above
stated, we find no provision in the law
for the payment Of the salary of deputy
auditor or ex oficio insurance commission
er. except 10 case Of the latter Office GER
tain fees are allowed. Second, that the
the period of time covered by the said
voucher. for which certificates were
drawn, is that covered by the a~ppropria-
tons made by the 10th legislative assem-
bly,, expressly providing for the salary and
contingent expenses of the auditors Office,

March 81, 1886 to April |, 1890, 81, 400
Your committee respectfully submit
that in their opinion thus is not a Lawful
claim against the state of Wyoming, fol
the reaso that the period OF time fol
which said Indebtedness for services was

amined the above enumerated certificates

the payment Of same except, however,
that the several items contained in the
above mentioned vouchers which your

OF which the auditor shall be authorized
