Authority for the Compensation of
Census Fraud Investigators

Comptroller TraceweII. Of the Treasury,
has rendered a decision in response to an
enquiry by II \ RarroWs, disbursing
clerk of the Census Office, as to wheth-
er a voucher drawn in favor of the
Board of Election Supervisors of St.
Mary's county, Nd, for copy of regis
tries Of voters of said county at the cleo
ton Of November 6, 1890, can be legally
paid by him.
Comptroller TracewcH decided that the
prime result to be attained was a census
untainted by fraud. and that therefore it
was cIear-Lhat the Director may use Z.
reasonable portion Of the appropriation
for the purpose Of Investigating alleged
frauds by his eHumerators. 3Ir. Trace
well said in his decision:
If the copy had been procured prima-
rily as evidence before the grand jury.
or on the trial of the accused, u different
question would present itself; but having
been procured for use by the Census Of
fee in its own investigation. I think it is
properly payable from the appropriation
for that office"
