Your auditor was unable to learn
point of delivery of this material and
the vendor was not able to definitely
advise where Same was delivered.
Your auditor was given to understand
that same was delivered to Mr.. Mer-
riWeather who is in charge of road
work in Socorro county, for the good
roads commission, and upon being
qeustioned advised that he had re-
ceiyed 400 sacks of cement from Mr..
Crabtree but the same was paid for
out of funds furnished him by the
good roads commission, and that the
county of Socorro had not furnished
him with any such quantity of ce.
ment. The contract price of Mr.
Merriweather for cement furnished
was IS cents per barrel, as against
$40 gross. the invoice price to So
corrO county. Your auditor was I'M
able TO satisfy himself that the ce-
ment' inVoiCed to Socorro county was
used for the benefit of SOcorro coun-
ty or that delivery had been made of
same and recommends that unless
suitable explanation can be made, and
delivery shown, actiOn be taken to re-
cover the amount invoiced against
