turns aud payments within the time pre-
scribed by law. With regard to the present
system of depositing state funds, the com
mittee suggests that the laws should be
speedily changed. as the system has out
lived its usefulness.
The committee finds that the evidence
wholly fails to disclose any just ground for
suspicion s to the personal or official in
tegrity of State Treasurer Boyer. That it
fails to show any act of personal or official
dishonesty on the part of Auditer-General
McCammant, or an improper receipt by him
for any money, either directly or indirectly.
