may be able 10 ad jouru this session and get
away from here at very early date.
Mr.. Roethe.l At our last session ! think we
were to receive a report from the trustees. That
| is supplementary report covering the period
from Julg Isl, 1909 hnu the present Tune fonr
auditing committee realizes that IN asking Tor
such a report il was not ia order BY the rules OF
this Board, inasmuch as nc motion to adopt
our report was up for consideration, but your
committee was cognizant Of She fact that there
were members this Board who questioned
the report ia the year t@9 as tu the deficiency
expressed IN that report, aud It was at the sug-
gestiou Of this committee that such report
was requested from these trustees. We wanted
to clear 1t mp. We wanted the trustees TO show
their figures ia that report Under the resolu-
ton by which this work was inaugurated, il
clearly states that June Goth the time this
audit was 10 close II did not say that we could
could assume to take moneys that had been de-
posted later, bnt we didn't stop at Jane SNth.
In reality we did. But, gentlemen, we asked
for further information. We wanted TO know
whether really could take money that was
deposited after the end of the year. we called
the superintendent aud from the testimony we
found the superintendent had been handling
the money OF that institution tor years ana
years, and he was the proper person 20 speak
10. We called him before committee and
eudeayored 20 ascertain whether that money
that had been deposited IN the County Treas
ury since June 30th, 1900 was available TO c0un-
teraCt the money shown in the trustees report
of that year have stated on this floor at var
ious times what the result was of that testimo-
ny. That same gentleman was brought before
this Board aud his testimony was Corroborated.
Now, gentlemen, we are ready and we are will
ing at this time 60 wait patiently for their re-
port. We want 10 reconcile these facts u we
can, The quicker wc get down 70 business the
better it IS There has been two much time
lost on this Board. There have been tactics as
stunned on this Board, gentlemen, whose puTport
has been 10 stop the workings Of this Board, in
literal sense. il Is due the taxpayers Of this
County, gentlemen, that we expedite matters.
/ II is not right that we are here for two three
weeks. Gentlemen, If that report Is ready this
committee wants IT, This committee IS willing
70 lay aside temporarily the question before
this house. This committee will have no OBJ
lection TO suspension temporarily 70 hear mat
report. II II is ready let us get at it, would
like to ask the trustees If they have It ready
