The book of warrant stubs covering the per- iod from March, 1888, to July 1889, shows that a very large amount of warrants were issued in the 16 months from July 1, 1889. Your com- mittee compared the warrant stubs issued dur- ing this time with warrants appearing as can- celled, on the bond record, amounting to more than $60,000, and compared stubs of warrants not appearing as cancelled and exchanged for bonds with the record of the commissioner’s proceedings to the amount of many thousands more. A comparison of the entire number of stubs in this book was found to be impossible in the time allotted to the committee, but it is be- lieved the total amount of warrants issued dur- ing the period will not be found to be less than $100,000.00.
