this floor and made statements to the gentle
mau who is now address, Ing NOu, that lac didu' :.

TO make any snap judgement regarding any
thing that might come up before this board II
seems TO me from his statements that he DELHI
etatclN desires that matters cease right where
they are, that he doesn't want to go any further.

port, We will Eight TAI. substitute which We ia
tend TO defeat. bat coming AZ a time when 10th

going 20 discuss these several matters and there
have only been one or two matters touched Ice

right now, they don't want to go ANY further.
That is substitute that has WhiirNashcd on alt

remOgr OF this county board who by hl- very
l,, permitted this audit 60 40 forth last Noveu-
her. I tell YOU. ID is duCtycrg member of this

printer Immediately and brought hacl, here aud
taken up by the membcrs of the board. In thc
meantime We will take mp other matters.
MIR, CUwtorda As a memhtr of that COM
mittec, ! would say II was not cur intention SO
far ~ was concerned, to take a snap judge
mcut iu the matter We believe IN haviag full.
several members of the board we supposed that
we had voiced the general sentiment Of the
board Ia regard To this matter, II is not the de
sire OF auy member to snub the auditing COM
mittee, who have faithfully performed their
duties as they understood them. That they have
made recommendations here, and have made
statements that the other members of the Couu-
~ Board cannot stand for, l. no reflection on
them, aud should not be SO takcu. would not
be in favor OF longer adjournment than that
suggested by Mr.. Eagau.
Mr.. Eagan's Amendment seconded by Mr.,
Cody.
MIR Roethe;) Is there an amendment to my
motion to adjourn 70 1880 y. N. ] call for the
motion,
Mr., Eaeau;l l move an amendment to Mr..
Roethe's motion,
MIR. Cody: II seems to me that I see way
out of IL. Permit Mr. Rocthe's motion To go aud
II he has the MA iority We will adjourn.
Mr.. Roethe;I 1t seems to me SO obvious that
inasmuch as there has been substitute, there
Is going TO be a crash right there, and what Is
the use of going ahead aud talking about our
report until we can have both of these reports
here TO argue against, There is no use in our
remaining here until this matter is printed.
There Is use ia sitting here aud talking about
other matters. You cannot hurry these thlhEs
now.

Roethe's motion.

make the motion that Mr.. Rewey's substitute
be printed aud returned ia the board at the
earliest posi- bic moment
Motion seconded by Mr. Eagau. Motion car
ricd aud report sent TO printer.
Mr. Richardson have questioned the trus
toes pretty carefully this moriuR in regard to
the way they make out their report. As | nu-
derstaud it, their report cmbodies me receipts
OF the farm for the year between June Dtn,
1908 aud June 3Oth 1909 and receipts from priv
ate patients from June 30th, 1907 To June 30th,
zoos. That at the time they make their report
on the Asylum the earnings from private pa
TENTS are not accounted for from June 30th
1908 TO June 3uth, 1909 50 that when that IL col
iccted aud deposited with the treasurer Il makes
mp the deficit. When those receipts have been
collected up To June Goth and the earnings re-
ported up 10 Juue 3Oth they offset each other.
While they have al been collected within the
amount OF $500, the statement ] have Just
read shows the exact condition of Iowa county
asylum in relation TO the county. There is ac-
tually a surplus Of $4,000 there accounted for
from no source.
phatc statement. ! challenge the gentleman
from the town Of Wyoming 10 present his hgur-
es to this County Board la regard TO the receipts
of hat institution
fMr EaganJ don't find any fault with Mr..
Roethe. lie Is a great man after figures, but !
tell you II YOU were figuring up my financial
standing and ! had $4,000 ia my safe aud you
might ind out that there had been a clerk
stealing from me or wcald have 10000 more;
that Is how | get IL from Mr.. Roethe He says
that II there has been this money that has drop.
ped ont OF existence and a hasn't been showed
up here, IL must be accounted for. II this - q
fact aud If Mr.. Rpethe's figures are correct,
there ought 20 be sl23tI0 more added on TO his
figures that cannot be funnd.
Mr. ROethe:l / stated the position Of this
committee in regard to this money so piten last
night that thought anybody with far de.
gree OF knowledge could not go wong or this
statement, but for the information OF The gen.
uefnan from Avoca ! will repeat that statement
again The amount of money received iu the
wear 1900 Is accounted for ~ the amounts re-
crired from sales aud private patients up 10 aud
Including June 5Otf, 1905 Bear that iu mind
When YOU 20 down o. the comfy treasurer
Office YOU go up 10 the period that this report
covers, June 5oth, 1909 aud you see how much
money Is there, aud you will find that there Is

testimony Of the superintendent and also from
his statements here last evening, he says thai

1909 u 1909 money coming ia the 1910 report
