sity Of seeking information from the
books Of concerns with which the De-
partment had dealings, the account
ants could not make the progress
expected when the investigation was
authorized. These handicaps are ex-
planned fully in the report.
The report reverted to the fact
that when the decision to probe the
State Department was reached by the
Legislature 1t was prompted by con-
flicting reports from the former and
present State Engineers. Wnen those
in control of the Department before
January l, 1928, went out of office
the statement was made, and pub
lished in various newspapers without
qualification, that they had turned
over to the incoming Administration
$6,313, 107.10, a sum that was repre-
sented as available for immediate
expenditure. This representation was
followed a few weeks later by
statement of the new Engineer, sent
to the Governor, that, in order to
carry on the road program to which
the state had been committed by the
outgoing administration, an immedi-
ate appropriation Of $1,500,000 was
necessary because records show there
was shortage of $1,209, ,342.77 on
January 1, 1923.
These two statements left the clear
indication that something was wrong
with the State Highway Department,
and, inasmuch as the records at hand
could shed no light upon the two
confusing claims, the report states
it was imperative to take stock and
attempt to find out the real condi-
ton of the Department. While the
report showed, according to the fig
ures given, that the statement of the
Engineer who left office on Decem-
Der 81, 1922, was without basis in
fact, the request for an appropriation
by the incoming Engineer was denied,
although the road program was de-
layed for time.
The Committee, having completed
it's work, expects to follow up the
report made to the Governor with
specific and detailed recommends
tions for the guidance of the State
Highway Department, one which will
be advice that the double-entry
system of bookkeeping, prepared by
the accountants for the Committee, be
installed and retained permanently.
Another will be that no employe of
the Department be permitted to vi
olate the law recklessly, by using
state money as he wills, practice
that is seen as a breeder of fraud
and criminality
The members of the Committee are
as follows: For the Senate, H. A.
Elliot of Greenlee County chairman
Howard Cornick of Yayapai and A.
c.. Pierce of Santa Cruz; for the
House, Lewis w. Douglas of Yavapai,
j. F. McGrath of Greenlee, and B. E.
Briscoe of Cochise.

six months of the eighteen in which
the shortages in the imprest fund
were found, total of $9,352.04 in
apparent fraudulent expenditures was
disclosed.
Cd That the two accounts could
rot be audited for any extended peri
cd, and that they could not be investi-
gated with desirable clearness at all,
but, even with the vagueness sur
rounding them, the Committee is po-
sitive from the results of the audit,
there was expended fraudulently the
sum of $23, 3,750.52,-and within only
eighteen months.
