1 carefully, as the chairman OF this commit
| tee has stated and we have asked Mr.. Per-
| kins In every particular II he was perfectly
! satisfied with the items ms charged to him,
ana he assured us that he was. | further
/ asked him If he was perfectly satisfied with
] the treatment that had accorded him on
| behalf OF the auditing committee this after
/ noon In reviewing these bills. He assured
me that he was perfectly satisfied He
/ said, believe you have been disposed to be
| fair and Impartial" have no other report
/ to offer. | have agreed to this settlement.
Mr.. Cody3 | want to add also few
words To Mr.. Penhalegon's remarks. 1t is
certainly true, every word that Mr.. PEN
| halleRon has stated, In accordance with my
| judgement. Not an unkind or misunder-
stood word has passed between Us four since
| the time we started until we ended. We
| simply nave met these matters and ad justed
| them IN IA friendly, kindly spirited way.
No offense or hard feeling of any kind be-
| lieYe Is felt toward anybody on the compile
| ton of 1t, and feel gratified myself, and |
| have satisfied my conscience that so far as
/ this item Is concerned it is properly diust-
| ed, 1t is properly adjusted to the best OF our
| Is required of us.
| MIR, Penhallegon:) 1t has been perfectly
agreed to by the one under examination or
\ the one that is mostly interested. He has
signihed his perfect satisfaction in this mat
! ter, so J think that Is the fairest statement
| that can be offered at this time.
Alr. Eagan:) ] have here the list of the
different items that we have adjusted To
! these Will be added those items to which
! Mr. Perkins agreed this morning in the
examination and which were noted by the
! stenoErapher. Perhaps this ought to be
read and minute made of it. If you wish
| IL viii do so.
! MT PenhallegonD Imove you that the
reading OF these several items be dispensed
| with but that they be Incorporated i'm the
stenographic report. 1t Will expedite busi-
ness.
Motion seconded and carried.
Mr., Eagan0 While am willing to sub
mt TINS paper TO the stenographer there
are two articles on his sheet that we have
| marked with question mark and If this
question mark doesn't belong there It ought
\ 70 be removed before this paper goes to her
! / thlnk ! really ought to read these two
/ items. | think they have been fully set led
4 by Mr.. Perkins when he gave as his ch ,cll
( IN full but still we have marked them with
1 "a question mark for future reference for
members that may be appointed as trust ,cs
and 1t might be well that they are b.; int
up now.
Voucher No. II3S, carpets. ss7. p we tayepita
question mark on that Also voucher NO sQ2
carpet, $3.50. We have reason TO beiev, on,
the explanation of Mr.. PerlSius that the first
sIet' ~ was Tor three pieces of carpet and
sI'4O for The making which went into three
rooms. Those three rooms are occupied by Mr.
ana Mrs. Perkins, and perhaps the trustees
might figure that they ought to be paid for by
! MN. we were unable to know what the agree
ment has been between the trustees and Mr.
/ Perkins all these years, but Mr.. Perkins has
/ given Us check for them aud they are settled
Tor; but Il Mr.. Perkins has given us check for
| carpets that shoIid have been paid for BY Iowa
County we would not like to ha We his check for
same, and | speak of this so that the trustees
might In the future be better able to know what
belongs to Iowa County and what belongs to Mr..
f. j. Perkins.
MIR. Cody:l As Mr. Eagau has stated, it was
impossible for us, not having the trustee with
us and having seen no contract OF agreement
with Mr.. Perkins by the trustees, to settl. this
| matter. Mr.. Perkins told us that he furnished
and carpeted these rooms, but there was a state
luent somewhere in the evidence that they we're
N Mr. Perkins private property and that if he
nj TO remove his quarters from the institution at
any une, ne would be permitted to take this
carpet and such other material as he claims as
his own with him. He states that these were
worn out aud others have taken their places and
that lie believes at this time. although he did
not insist upon it, th5t the County ought to do
/ this furnishing. AS | stated, we were unable to
decide, We don't know, but we believe if there
= suCh an agreement with the trustees, that Mr..
Perkins ought to be reimbursed for these arti lies
aud we have left that matter with the trustees.
Aud believe that the trustees will see to it and
| if they have any contract or agreement verbal
| or otherwise, they will fix this thing up; also
that thorough understanding will be had in
the future as to the matter of these furnishings
as TO who is the proper party to have those
charges against.
MIR, Eagan:) l believe it would be gooi
thing right to have the trustees take an in.
ventory of the goods out there, | beeveit
ought to be done now while these things are
fresh in minds | believe this oneht to be
done and done soon. Don't you think so, Mr..
PenhallegonY
Mr.. Peuhaliegou: | certainly do | have
asked Mr.. Roethe to look up the testimony Mr..
Perkins has given to this committee relative to
the agreement that ne "a - - 1s- -
that had been Charged up to him. He stated If
| remember correctly, that every article OF furn-
ishings in the rooms that he designated belonged
to him personally and to him solely That If he
were going to leave the institution at any time
that he would claim them 1t may take little
time, but in the interval wish 10 call attention
10 the second and third paragraphs on page of
our report. The amounts that are involved in
these two paragraphs not included in this
settlement with Mr.. Perkins That is a matter,
gentlemen that is still to be cleared up and this
will be left to the Board to determine.
