Investigations - The investigation
into the charges made by the Rott
resolution against the board Of con
troll would have resulted in a finding
of mo bill" by the committee, but at
the last moment new charges were
preferred against the board by three
citizens Of jamestown and as these
charges were specific and sworn tc
by responsible citizens the committee
felt it necessary that an investigation
be made and so recommended. AS 3
result q committee has been appoint
ed to make full investigation. The
charges include the claim that the
board took 100000 appropriated eol
a tubercular hospital by the legisla'
ture and spent it elsewhere and built
no hospital; that it built a new hos
pital and then drove the patients out
and lodged them in the poultry house
and the amusement hall and took the
hospital building for the use of the
superintendent and his official family
Of two; that it charged two counties
with insane patients when the pa
TENTS yer employed and being paic
wages by the board; that it paid an
architect $4,000 salary when the law
provides he shall be paid $1,000
These charges are answered by the
board by citing the proceedings Of
the emergency board, by whom they
were authorized to diverge the money
from it's original destination; thai
they have used their best judgment
in handling the affairs of the asylum
and in accommodating a number o.
patients far in excess of the capacity
of the buildings.
