Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Increase in Taxation and the Outlays of the Board of Education: February 4, 1901
I find in your public reports and estimates many things that need explanation. They relate to the use made Of trust funds. There are omissions which make it very difficult to scrutinize and test certain outlays. When the omissions are supplied and the tests made, very large discrepancies appear. The conditions thus shown are identical with those which would result from waste or from fraud; they might also result from entirely proper causes. Suitable public reports would show whether they are the result Of proper causes, Of wastefulness and incompetency, or Of actual corruption.
