Supv. johnson from the special COM
mittee to investigate the accounts and
books of Andrew Higgins, late Drain
Commissioner, submitted the following
report
To the Honorable the Board of Super
Your special committee to whom was
referred the drain records of Andrew
Higgins, ex-Drain Commissioner for the
county of Shiawassee, for the purpose Of
investigating the financial records of the
several drains, beg leave to make the
following report:
A careful examination has been made
and the financial records of all drains
appear correct except as stated below.
The financial record of the Web Creek
Drain shows that the balance on hand
at the time The records passed into the
hands of Andrew Higgins, was 81, 1880.
The record further shows that the
amount of orders issued on the drain
during his term of Office was $2,054.59,
leaving balance on hand of $6SS.01.
Your committee find this balance to
be erroneous and the record incomplete
as no orders drawn on the Treasurer of
Genessee County on this drain fund APP
pear charged to the drain account. To
make the financial record of this drain
complete, all these orders shond appear
charged to the drain fund. Your com
mittee would therefore recommend that
some suitable person be sent to Genes
see county TO procure copy OF the
financial records Of this drain as record
eG in the office Of the Drain Commits
sioner of Genessee county.
Your committee find from the stub
books that Andrew Higgins drew an
order on this drain fund for $2l97 in ia
vor Of himself, in excess of the amount
allowed him for services as appears from
the records of your honorable body.
Your committee are of the opinion
that no such order was ever drawn but
that the mistake is simply in the stnh
as no such order has ever been presented
for payment. Your committee recon-
mend that the County Treasurer be- in
structed TO refuse paw ment, however, in
case the aforesaid order ofS!l.97 should
at any time be presented for payment.
1 Al IA g., II a
of the Hudson drain incomplete in that
no orders drawn upon the Genessee
County Treasurer on this drain fund APP
pear on record. Your committee max e
the same recommendation regarding
this drain that they have regarding the
Web Creek drain as regards the procur-
ing of the absent records,
Your committee find that orders No.
A, 16 and II, drawn upon The Wheeler
drain fund are twice recorded. The or.
ror appears to be simply clerical one
and your committee has corrected the
same.
Your committee find that orders to the
number of Is, issued on the Wait d
Thomas drains, have been paid by The
County Treasurer, for which no cores
ponding stubs can be found.
The correct entry ofthe orders appears
npon the financial record books.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
