The readers of the Caledoaian will
have in mind that two weeks ago We
published the substance OF the r6-
port OF the joint committee OF the
Legislature appointed To investigate
the counts OF our state officers, and
therein stated that the account for
tire and expenses OF Z abroad Cam
missioner George L. Howard. 81
Craitsoury WAS criticised.
The comnaibtee came to the con
elusion that several I Endred dollars
in his account was wrongtully Gharg-
, ed against the state, and recommend
ed that sctlonbe thought 8gai3st hi 1
on behalf of the state TO recover hi,
money.
