Wisman Committee Reports
The committee appointed by the
Board to investigate the financial diff
ferences between the Supervisors and
J. F. Wisman. member from Madi-
son District. made its report, which
is as follows:
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Shenandoah County, Vir-
ginia:
We, The undersigned, constituting
the committee appointed by your
Board at the instance of Mr.. Joseph
Wisman, to investigate the accounts
of said County with Joseph F. Wis
man as supervisor, and also his in
dividual account, would respectfully
report our findings as follows:
In the matter of the S266.67
claimed by Joseph F. Wisman as be.
ing due him by the county, we find
that the Board borrowed of said
Joseph F. Wisman, June IL, 1922
the sum of $4,000, which appears
to be part of the S12OOO0O which
the Board of Supervisors decided OF
that day to borrow by appropriate
resolution passed. The $4,000 thus
borrowed by Mr. Wisman was pai(
into the County Treasury by Mr.
Wisman's check for S26667, and tn,
balance of S23333 by county war
rant for that amount and bearing
date June %, 1922, which wa
turned into the Treasury, which tw,
sums, making the $4,000, appear
, to us to have been evidenced b.
the note of the Board of Supervisor
of date June II, 1922, and payabl
to Ernest Wisman, son of sal
Joseph F. Wisman, and still held b
him and unpaid: Therefore we ar
of the opinion that the said claim O
S266.67 is fully covered by the note
and it is so conceded by Mr.. wis
man. :
In the matter of the payment G
the bill of lumber for bridge joist
for the several county bridges
: bought of Mark Getz in 1921, W
find that there is still due the sal
Joseph F. Wisman the balance c
$500 on account of said bill, b
the County.
In She matter of District Roa
: warrant for $500 payable to sal
! Joseph f. Wisman in payment {
services as a member of the Roa
Board of Madison District, we fin
that this amount included 500
