While I think the phrase "not a penny of which seems to have been turned into the State Treasury, or accounted for to the Auditor General," is an ascertainment of fact before the inquiry, and had better have been omitted, the resolution is approved this 30th day of January, A. D. 1906. SAML. W. PENNYPACKER. No. 6. In the House of Representatives, February 6, 1906.
