<br /> Your 0onznittee have gon~ into this matter very carefully and beg leave to report thereon
<br />as follows:
<br /> Eerie of the bili~ made b~ the ~eveath ~a~d Local Board had ~ requiaTtion a~taehed to it.
<br />The purchases for the Ward seem to h~ve been made in a very careless manner, with very little re-
<br />gard to prices. The Local Board seem to have forgotten that money could net be e~pended without
<br />having first an appropriation for the expenditure.
<br /> We do not know whether we had before us all of'the bills contraeted by the Ward, but from those
<br />bills in our possession, the records of the Local Board meetings and the ledger mccounts of the Sec-
<br />retary, we make *~he ~following report ~nd recommendations:
<br /> The following bills h~ve been approvedby the Local Board, smd we believe they shuuld be paid:
<br /> J. O. ~ainwri~_t & Sons, for shells, 1TO,40
<br /> H. J. Madrey, secretary, salary for November and December,
<br /> J. E. Gillikin, rent for two months to De~ember 15th, 6.00

<br /> J. W. Gsmmage & 0o., for pipe furnished,
<br />~- J.-W. Joknson, contract, 160,00
<br /> Torsi, $1,250.10.
<br /> While the bills of J. ~. Gammage & 0o. and J. W. Johnson, ~mo~nting to $729,00 for drain pipe
<br />and work on the co~ner of Eighth and Palmer streets~ were coRtraeted for without appropriations
<br />having been made for s~me, we believe the parties furnished the pipe and did the work in good faith,
<br />and the records of ~he Lees! Board show that said pipe and work to have been authorized. Therefore,
<br />~ile the transactiOn wss not regular dt w~s certainly done under the color of law.
<br />
<br /> The following btitls, though not. approved by the Local Board,
<br />show they were contracted for and were not paid:
