same will yer be accurately ascer-
tanned because of the loose practice
in the office"
The committee finds that on ,Janu-
AIRY 9th. 1915. $4,000 was paid to
the state treasurer to make up for.
items omitted from the cash book,
and received i'll the years 1919 and
1914; and further that the receipts
for the month OF December 1914,
amounting to $1566.5O were not
paid the treasurer until january 80,
1915, and that OF said amount $1,000
was placed to the credit of the ac-
count of the secretary OF state in the
funds of John n. Nelson.
Robbery Tale Doubted
The explanation of the shortage
was that by Nelson that some time
in October his desk in the ofncc was
broken open and the sum or about
$1,000 stolen therefrom and since
that time he had delayed depositing
the receipts until the current income
OF the office was sufficient to enable
him to deposit an amount coal To mat
charged upon the cash book of the
preceding month. The testimony OF
lle CUHlullllcc, ana lHAI IL warrants
further investigation by the legal de
partmcnt OF the state.
An attempt was made before the
committee to cast suspicion of the
robbery upon employees OF the JAM
tor force of the state house. but the
committee desires to unanimously
state that such attempt was in their
~opiniop wholly u~nwarranted and not
based upon any evidence produced
at the investigation.
The testimony was that the several
incumbents OF the office heretofore
have not given the affairs personal al
t~ention and left the work tic the Of
flee force, which is held i'm part to be
the u OF loose methods in the de-
partment.
Tho practice. OF allowing employees
OF the Office to use information pc
culiar to the department for CONNER
cial purposes and private gain is de
clarcd to be onc which should be
discontinued rel if q: special law to
that effect is required to stop it.
