In some of the above matters moth
Ing has ever been paid to the county
for the maintenance of said patients,
and all are in arrears. We respectfully
call attention to the fact that the COM
mittee in investigating said cases are
merely performing some of the duties
of the trustees of the asylum, and have
no power, under the resolution to take
any action upon the information OBJ
tanned. In justice to the trustees it is
to be said that your committee was not
appointed at their instigation, and they
are doubtless ready and willing ii per-
form their duties without the commit
tees assistance. We, therefore, recon-
mend that the services of such q COM
mittee be dispensed with.
