C. of C. to investigate the charges, and answers resulting, from the investigation previously authorized by that body into the county engineer's and county auditor's office, made a 12-page report at the monthly meeting in Orange last night. Chairman D. Eyman Huff, of El Modena, chairman of the committee of five, one from each supervisorial district, stated that considerable time had been spent in the investigation, that all of the officers mentioned and numerous others had been given a hearing, all testimony being taken down in shorthand and that an entire day had been spent in the study of the records. Following the reading of the report, T. L. McFadden moved its adoption which was done unanimously. It was then moved that the $48 expense for stenographer incurred by this committee and the $640 incurred in the previous investigation sors reported to your Committee that he had received a copy of such report. Apparently at the time of the investigation the copy filed in the office of the County Clerk was in the hands of one of the Supervisors, he having taken two copies. In our opinion the Board of Supervisors and the County Clerk were a little slack in this instance in taking proper care of the County records. Your Committee found one instance in the matter of warrantis which is not above criticism, particularly one mentioned by number in the report. Number 14425, warrant for $140 which passed through the hands of five county officers without proper scrutiny. The accountants, in making their investigation, either did not have access to the records as your Committee did, or did not especially note them. Mr. Seamen acknowledged, before you Com­mittee that they had not asked for the specific information presented to your Committee. Further, Mr. Seamen acknowledged the information before us and him in the Committee meeting that the accounting is sufficient to trace the funds, labor and terms enter­ing into a specific piece of work. We agree with Messrs. Seamen and Farmer district, stated that considerable time had been spent in the investigation, that all of the officers mentioned and numerous others had been given a hearing, all testimony being taken down in shorthand and that an entire day had been spent in the study of the records. Following the reading of the report, T. L. McFadden moved its adoption which was done unanimously. It was then moved that the $48 expense for stenographer incurred by this committee and the $640 incurred in the previous investigation, be referred to county supervisors for payment, since it would "result in a saving of thousands of dollars to taxpayers." It also voted that the same committee carry the report to the supervisors and urge its recommendations be adopted. The report follows: Orange, Calif., May 25, 1921. To the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County, California, Gentleman— Your Committee appointed by the Advisory Committee and President of this Association to review the reports brought to the Associated Chambers of Commerce by the accountants, Messrs.

In our method of procedure, we invited to the Committee meetings all the parties mentioned and interested in the several reports and answers, Messrs. Seamen and Farmer, the accountants, Mr. Seamen very obligingly attended all of these sessions. Mr. Farmer appeared to be unable to meet with us at all.

The committee had the services at all our sessions of a stenographer who made careful notes and a typewritten report of all the proceedings. Your Committee proceeded to take up separately all the questions raised in the report submitted by the accountants to the Associated Chambers of Commerce at the meeting held in Santa Ana, March 30th as well as the several answers returned by the County Engineer, Mr. McBride and County Auditor, Mr. Jerome, including the affidavits offered by Mr. Seamen and Mr. Farmer at the Associated meeting at Fullerton on April 26th.
