Q. Do you assume the personal charge Il IN
A. furnished four bed roons there When the
state board Of control comes they can have decent
home II have 70 assume the charge OF H.
Mr.. Cody.l II doesn I seem 10 me to be right tor
as 70 charge that 10 Mr.. Perkins although he as
sumes " viii ask this board 10 pass judgment on
that item
Mr.. Eagana II we have two rooms out there
that are fitted Up for such people might be caught
there over night for Instance the trustees or the
state board Of control ! don't think the two combs
ought to be charged UP to Mr.. Perkins
Mr., Reweya Il seems 10 me that there is great
amount Of time being consumed don't question
the motive at all. think you are sincere and honest
but TO 60 over all these invoice and ask Mr. Perkns
opinion about them will take up the entire afternoon
and ] don't believe there is an item there that is
charged to Mr. Perkins that can be fairly charged 10
him but that he will acknowledge and don think
This County can afford TO be small In this matter. Il
down 10 business.
mr. Cody:l Have you any solution Of the prob
lem Of adjusting this natter
Mr. Rewey;) think the trustees can take this
matter up with Mr. Perkins at their meeting or
they might do II before they leave here think they
can arrive at fair settlement
lMr Cody3 am satisfied to do that ifitis the
rule Of the board.
iMr. W. II, Thomas: Mr.. Perkins has already
acknowledged that he IS responsible for a certain
part Of these charges. The only way that we can.
get the Information IS BY questioning him the way
Mr. Cody has taken, and then win know what it
amounts to.
mr.. Eagan ! would say this much that think
there IS resolution coming up here at 80 p. n..
and II this matter Strengthened out 10 entire
satisfaction by Mr. Perkins II might make some diff
ference In the way some members would vote on the
petition hat is the reason ! am anxious 70 get
this out in dollars and cents so will know exactly
where we can stand.
Nj richardson J think that Mr.. Rewey was
about right that u is unnecessary to 90 over an
those bills Mr.. Perkins has expressed a willing
ness 10 so over them with the committee and that
matter can he disposed Of We don't need to hold
all Of the board here let us take It up later
Perkins
lMr Eagan. would like to have Mr. Perkins
say what committee he would like 20 have do this.
Would you Ike TO continue with these two! A.
viii take you two and 90 over these things Just as
YOU have started out here.
INT Penhalegon;l think II would be perfectly
proper for this committee 70 act with Mr.. Perkins.
but shall insist that at least one member Of this
auditing committee accompany them so that they
may be able to explain certain points that we Slain
n our report don doubt but that the members Of
that committee can do the work but have the
evidence OF Mr.. Perkins. or the testimony given
hy him covering a great many Of these items, and
think u is perfectly proper that one member OF the
auditing committee be included.
Mr Rewey ! have no objections 10 a member
OF the auditing committee acting with this committee
but you told US yesterday that your case was In,
not acquainted with court terms only In general
way: ! thought their case was in and they didn't
need any more evidence Il that Is true think that
these two gentlemen can get through with M, Per-
kns IN much shorter time than Il would take with
one Of this auditing committee there, They naturally
want 10 make their report stand up.
Mr. Penhallegon II Mr. Revey would permit
word. We are on the defense In this and think it
IS perfectly proper that we should be represented in
this work
Mr. Ryan think one Of the auditing commit
tee ought 70 be represented They are party to IT,
and don't see that il is unreasonable for one OF
them 70 be on the committee,
Mr. Eagan; So far as am concerned would
Ike to have Mr.. Penhallegon present with us
Mr.. Crawforda think il would be proper for
one of the auditing committee to be in and see no
objection to H.
Mr.. penhallegona | haze no desire to participate
IN this matter but merely wanted to make the claim
for the committee would be pleased to be excused
from that committee.
Mr.. Reweyo Have you any idea how long it will
take YOU two gentlemen with Mr. penhaegon to go
over these matters? A. / believe II this matter is
taken up in a hurried manner the questions may be
asked very rapidly and the superintendent will be
given due time to answer It and that an hour and
half or two hours at the outset would be sufficient
time 10 go over these invoices.
Mr., JackSon In regard To this committee /
understand that the two members that have been
chosen as a committee to make this examination will
invite Mr.. Penhaegon to be present Now want
to ask II they will give Mr.. Penhallegon power to act
as a full member OF that committee That they will
give him the privilege II ne sees 1T, to offer a
minority report. or shall he be simply figure head
on that committee
Mr. Ryana move that Mr. penhallegon as one
Of the auditing committee be appointed with Mr.
Eagan and Mr. Cody TO investigate the vouchers.
Mr.. A. L. Thomas seconded the motion
M. Jacksonl move to amen5. thar motion by
the Chair appointing Mr.. Cody the Chairman Of that
committee.

Char:l Mr. Ryans motion is that Mr. Cody Mr.
Eagan and Mr.. Peuhsllegon be the committee ap-
pointed TO investigate these bills. Mr.. jackson
makes the amendment that Mr. Cody shall be the
chairman of that committee. The Amendment has

Board called to order by the chairman. Mr. Dckin-
lMr Peuhallegon:I In going over the matter of
TINS substitute report, called it occurred to me
that II was clearly out Of orier that it was not
gemane that IL cannot be accepted BY the board at
this time and ask for a ruling Of the chair on that
point OF order
Chairs would like you to advance your points
why il would be out of order at this time?
mr., Penhallegona called for the ruling Of the
chair. have stated that as Tar as think will be
necessary.
.Nr Roethe: AS has been stated by the gentle
man from Mineral Point we raise the point Of order
in regard 10 the substitute that has been offered bv
these four persons. This substitute is not germane
10 the question that IS before this honorable body
This County Board at It's last session offered and
passed certain resolution inStuctngthis committee
10 audit the accounts OF the asylum, and we have
done SO and have presented our report That report
as understand &c. is here before this honorable
body ard is 20 be disposed off, Il cannot be amended
unless this committee ht 10 accept any SugpeS-

10 must be rejected. There IS no individual on this
board who can speak for the entire board, neither
are there four men on this board that can speak for
this entire board This matter is for the attention
OF the entire board. and under parliamentary usage
and practice, think that the point OF order as raised
by my colleague, Mr. penhaIegou, shall and must
be sustained.
M Penhallegora To Sc, this matter right he
fore the board, would call for ruling by the Dis
