Dear Sir:
| We desire to call your attention to
claim of the State against Shiawas-
see County with reference to troops
called out in aid of civil authorities
during the strike on the Grand Trunk
Railroad at Durand, your county. The
claims so far filed and paid by the
State amount to $5,S3038. In Act "a,
Sec. 40, Public Acts of 1899, we find
the following language to which we
call your attentions:
"All officers and enlisted men shall
receive for their service for each day
actually spent by them on duty in
case of riot, tumult, breach of the
peace, resistance of process or where
ever legally called upon in aid of the
civic authorities and for the time &C
tqally spent by them in travelling from
their home to the place of rendez-
vous compensation provided by sec
ton forty-hve of the act. Such COM
pensation, substance and allowance
and cost of transportation and the
cost of all ammunition used or pro-
vided for use by any officer in COM
mand of the National Guard so-called
out shall be audited and allowed by
the Auditor General when detailed
bills are presented, properly certified
by the commanding officer of such
troops and approved by the Quarter
master General. The uditor-General
shall, upon auditing and allowing such
accounts, draw his warrant therefor
upon the State Treasurer who is here
by authorized and required to pay the
same and such sums so audited and
paid are hereby appropriated out of
the moneys in the general fund not
otherwise appropriated. The Auditor
General shall charge all such moneys
so drawn to the County or Counties
in which such service is rendered to
be collected and returned to the gen.
eral fund in the same manner as any
other County indebtedness TO the
State is required by law to be col
lected and returned to the general
fund"
There may be. some claims that are
not yet filed but it was thought best
to write you at this date in order that
you might place this matter before
meeting next week. The amount
tional claims are paid (if any are fled)
will be charged to your County in the
next Quarter Accounts. If your
Board of Supervisors desire a detailed
statement of these several claims that
have been filed and paid we will fur
niSh to you with the understanding
that they are to be returned to this
department. as soon as examined.
