 ment to the Code of 1897, beg leave to report that we have examined

 its treasury and the vouchers and warrants of its expenditures, a de- 

 tailed account of the same being attached and made a part of this report. 

 (Duplicate of secretary's and treasurer's financial reports.) Your com- 

 mittq^ find that no warrants have been drawn except on duly authenticated 

 vouchers, which are on file, duly numbered with warrant number. We
