BOARD OF FINANCE.
OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS.


Continued.
cess cess for the twenty months amounts to
I fail to find any resolution increasing
Mr.. Clark's salary.
This troublesome matter has now
reached " point when q decision must be
made. aud your Board should take the
initiative ia solving the difficulty you
have created.
1t is a peculiarly enjoying thing to me,
because ! Yves misled by what | cannot
describe tn any other way than by decep-
ton into the signing the warrants for the
Increased payments during the months of
May, June aud July. The resolution
diPseslns the 6ever GIsy Clerk gha n to dr raw
of your Board as printed, aud lsuch print
ed list was submitted to me with the
assertion on the part of one OF your en-
pioyees that 1t was correct: doubtless
this printed list has carried with it an evil
dence OF Reuutneness. as In no other way
eau l account for your Board passing the
pay rolls mouth after month.
In the month OF August I made a care
full reading of the minutes Of your Board
and learned the results above outlined.
l refused to approve the payments of the
eight. employees above named for the
called for. all of the eight
employees consented to take the
amount of payment for services rendered
In August at the rate corresponding to
the respective resolutions fixing the
salaries, and they were paid at that rate.
! thsn made an inquiry as to what
effect the amount Of 81, 1876 being the
over payments made would have on the
appropriation TO your Board for the fiscal
year now ending November 80, 1892, and |
found to continue TO pay the aforesaid
eight clerks the salaries corresponding to
the salary resolutions would cause a de-
Holt. and L consequently refused to pay
their salaries for September, October and
November In part. Your Board saw the
deficit as quickly as ! did, and have made
the following attempts to obvlate the
, difficulty:
LIST. The dismissal of efficient clerks
who had not overdrawn their salaries.
3D.. The reduction of Efficient clerks
salaries.
Sd. The transfer of accounts.
1notlce that In the resolutions covering
the September, October aud Novemb Der
payrolls that Mr. German and Mr.. Nc
Keen were attempted to he paid at the
rate exceeding the resolutions employing
them. while the remaining six employees
ABOVE named are rated at the rate agree
ing with the resolutions employing them.
L have paid MIR. McAnaily and Mr..
Hewitt their November salaries, mas
much as the excess which they received
40 W OAOlL o0RUGAlDGE duu OCLO-
Der salaries herein returned without ap-
prevail, and because their salary for No
vemb Der corresponds with the resolutions
confirming their appointment.
Very respectfully.
